Most Imaginative Bartender

Welcome to Tales of the Cocktail Foundation’s Most Imaginative Bartender Competition presented by Bombay Sapphire gin. This is an opportunity for bartenders to let their imagination and creativity shine. Bombay Sapphire gin believes we are all born creative and that creativity is something we have in common; it has no limits, and it’s always evolving and encouraging us to explore new territory.

Now in its 13th year, we are changing things up.

Most Imaginative Bartender is going back to its roots and focusing on the bartender and their passions. This isn’t another cocktail competition, it’s a forum for expression across many different mediums. Of course, there will always be a top-winning cocktail, but this year, we are bringing your imagination to life with a $25,000 Creative Grant Prize and $10,000 cash award.

This is your chance to color outside the lines and turn your creative dreams into reality on a national stage.
