Dear, Amanda

Mixology Masters was created at the start of the pandemic as we watched so many of our friends closed the doors to their restaurants and bars, uncertain if they would ever be able to open again.

Best,

Leah

Background

Raising a glass to our friends.

Mixology Masters was created at the start of the pandemic as we watched so many of our friends closed the doors to their restaurants and bars, uncertain if they would ever be able to open again.

With that in mind, the show is a celebration and acknowledgment of a craft that is essential to the hospitality industry. A good bartender can elevate a guest’s dining experience.

A Mixologist is much like a well-trained chef, embracing a culinary approach to blending cocktails and possessing a deep understanding of the history behind spirits, liqueurs, and the flavours they blend with.

Furthermore, they study the freshness of ingredients, flavour compounds, and even the chemistry of components to produce innovative and excellent cocktails.

Synopsis

Raising a glass to our friends.

Mixology Masters is a non-scripted television series that captures the art and craft of cocktail making in a competition format that pits some of the best bartenders in the country against each other.

Each week, contestants demonstrate their skills through a series of unique challenges that test their speed, ability to put a spin on classics and develop a brand new récipe. Season one is 24 episodes of 22 min where contestants will compete for the approval of our judges in five different categories: Taste, Balance, Presentation, Application of Theme, and Creativity.

These challenges will require precise skill, creativity in presentation, and drink selection to pair with local dishes—a true mixologist’s test!

The winning bartender receives the coveted title of “Mixology Master” and a $10,000 prize.
