Bar Rescue:
Mixology Challenge
Ready to mix it up with the masters? The elements of a well-made cocktail work much like a team; different spirits, liquors, sweeteners, and citrus combine to make one mouth-watering beverage. Understanding this synergy, and how the ingredients in a cocktail work harmoniously together, has tremendous parallels to when you consider how the strengths of each team member combine to achieve your end goal.
In this spirited team building activity, the group will be divided into smaller mixologist teams. Each team will be challenged with creating the best tasting cocktail from scratch. Teams will each have their own working station that will include all the necessary tools and ingredients provided by the venue.
All teams will have the same basic items and it is up to them to decide how they will shake (or stir!) their cocktails. By completing special tasks, teams can earn additional ingredients to add flair to their creation. They must work against the clock and each other to create the most flavorful and innovative cocktail that goes down the smoothest.
This challenge requires collaboration and creativity as teams work together to win over the taste buds of the judges. Teams must market their drink to our panel. They will be judged on creativity, presentation, and taste.
