Something that you can’t miss!
The trends of beverage consumption are always evolving. It is now time to embrace the concept of LOW/NO ALCOHOL, and for good reason. From being a conscious health choice, the trend has emerged victorious so far by being readily accepted by bartenders universally.
This year's theme emphasizes the growing popularity of No/Low ABV cocktails, so we're introducing a new requirement for the final drink's alcohol content: the beverage must have a maximum ABV of 8% before dilution. Any drink submitted with an ABV exceeding 8% before dilution will be disqualified from the final competition. In order to achieve 8% ABV or lower in your recipe to align with the theme of the competition, check https://www.cocktailcalc.com/
