Prepare for the ultimate end-of-summer event for cocktail aficionados, hospitality pros and Palm Beach locals. The top craft cocktail spots in Boynton Beach—The Butcher & The Bar, Driftwood, and Sweetwater—have united to present the Battle of the Beaches Cocktail Showdown. This six-event series will showcase the area's best bartending talent in an interactive cocktail contest.

Witness as bartenders discover their preliminary competitors, igniting the stage for a fierce competition. With three bartenders per contest, only the victors will progress to the grand finale on November 11th.

Competitors will be judged by a panel of four, including three local hospitality and media personalities and one randomly selected audience member. They will be evaluated on their mixology mastery—presentation, taste, creativity and more. They're competing for several prizes and the ultimate bragging rights as the best mixologist in Boynton Beach.

Enjoy live DJ sets and complimentary spirit tastings at each celebration. A light food menu and a full bar will be available for purchase. 

Cheer on your favorite bartenders as they shake, stir and pour their way to victory. No tickets or reservations are necessary—these events are free and open to the public!
