Cocktail Competition + After Party
Sponsored by Ritual Zero Proof and Thomson & Scott, our Cocktail Competition gets the party started. Six competitors are tasked with creating a delicious cocktail using one Ritual Zero Proof non-alcoholic spirit AND one Thomson & Scott non-alcoholic wine. You’ll get to try the cocktails too and even vote for the finalists.
Our judges will have the final say and score them on presentation, taste, and creativity.
Judges:
Monica Alford - District Fray
Chef Ashish Alfred - Alfred Restaurant Group
Clyde Davis, Jr. - Housebar
Samantha Kasten - Umbrella Dry Drinks
Val Restificar - DC Craft Bartender’s Guild
Then we crank up the vibes with our afterparty, hosted by popular Washington, D.C.-based “No & Low” cocktail party pioneers, Disco Mary. Enjoy DJs, dancing and even more great non-alcoholic beverages.
Party Pass: $75
VIP TICKET - All day / night access: $95
