COCKTAIL COMPETITION

The Restaurant Week Seasonal Cocktail Competition is a major addition to the fun of the Week. Each participating restaurant with a bar program competes to earn your vote for the Official Cocktail of Summer. At stake is the coveted OVERSIZED Martini Glass trophy. Keep a look out for previous years' winning trophies next time you're out and about in downtown.

But, to really cast your best vote, you gotta do a little recon first. This ain't no popularity contest. Try as many as you can (safely) over the 10 day event and cast your vote before the last day. You only get one vote, so make it count (you can change it throughout the week as much as you want, but whoever your vote is on the last day gets your final vote!).

From the page linked below, you can view all of the contenders in the 2025 Summer Cocktail Competition. Browse the photos and descriptions of each entry then plan your trips. Keep coming back to the voting page to plan your next stop. Along the way, you’ll even be able to see who is in the lead with the most votes. 
​
However, beginning the last weekend of Restaurant Week, the rankings will go dark and the nominees will all be listed randomly to ensure anyone can still win. No runaway winners here. Votes during that last weekend have turned the tides before. It's anybody's game. Who will earn YOUR vote this season? 
​
Remember, only your last vote will count. Choose wisely.
The winning cocktail will be awarded August 1, 2025.
