2026 Cocktail Shake-Off

Twelve bartending teams from Pittsburgh's top establishments will participate in a competition where YOU are the judge. Each team will be assigned a spirit provided by one of 12 participating local distilleries to build a cocktail worthy of your vote for Best Cocktail Recipe.
