How it Works:
Get ready to stir, shake, and pour! Roswell’s premier summer drink competition is back. We’re looking for the city’s most creative beverages to compete for the title of "Best Sip in Roswell."
Local restaurants are tasked with crafting a specialty beverage that captures the essence of summer with a distinct Roswell flair. Throughout the season, patrons will sip their way through the city, rating their favorites via our digital guide.
At the end of the event, we will crown a winner in each of the following categories:
Cocktail
Mocktail (Must be a unique recipe, not just a spirit-free version of your cocktail entry)
Non-Alcoholic (Coffee, tea, matcha, or dessert drinks)
Entrant Requirements:
Participating restaurants MUST be within Roswell city limits to enter.
Your crafted Summer Sippin’ drink must:

Be Ready for the Spotlight: Entries must include a catchy name and a detailed description for marketing purposes.
