Cocktail Competition — May 4th "Cuatro de Mayo"
Cocktail Competition — May 4th "Cuatro de Mayo"
The day before Cinco de Mayo and we will be leaning all the way in. USBG Tampa Bay presents The Carlitos Collins: a Collins-inspired cocktail competition that blends our craft bartending roots with the spirit of the season.
This one's for the bartenders. Whether you're stepping behind the competition station or pulling up a stool to judge your coworkers, this is your industry night out before the busiest shift of the week hits.
Competitors will work with two incredible sponsor brands — Cantera Verde Oaxacan Gin and sipMARGS Sparkling Margarita RTD — to riff on the traditional Collins format. Bring your creativity, your technique, and your best Cinco energy.
Competitors: Arrive at 6 PM for a briefing and to get your ingredients sorted. Competition kicks off at 7 PM sharp.
Everyone else: Doors at 7. Come drink, come cheer, come bond with your bar community the right way — the night before the madness.
The Henley — 249 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33701
