The 42 Below Cocktail World Cup got off to a flying start yesterday as 42 of the world’s best bartenders, a panel of expert judges and media from around the globe threw themselves off a 42-metre-high bridge in the first CWC Extreme Shaking event.

Among those who took the plunge was actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who plays Meadow in The Sopranos and is one of the event’s judges.

I’m not a monster fan of “extreme bartending”, but it sure does look like everyone is having a good time while doing it. That’s showbiz.
