In Good Spirits Cocktail Competition 2025

SOLD OUT! Thank you to all who have purchased tickets! 

IT'S BACK! CAPS Manitoba in partnership with Manitoba Liquor Mart presents:

 IN GOOD SPIRITS COCKTAIL COMPETITION 🍹

Join us Monday May 12th, 6:30 PM at the Winnipeg Art Gallery- Qaumajuq for
Winnipeg's only live cocktail competition!

18 of some of the best bartenders from across the city have been assigned a product and have been working on a signature cocktail. The cocktails will be revealed live at the event in front of a panel of judges. Competitors will also prepare samples of their creation for all ticket holders who will then vote for the People's Choice Winner!

The stakes are high- prizes for the top cocktails include a trip to a distillery, a bursary,
cash, and more!

Last year we sold out weeks before the event! This year we're releasing 400 tickets and
they won't last long, so grab yours now if you want to join us for a night of shaking, stirring, blending, imbibing- and fierce competition!

Your ticket will get you entrance to the event, a welcome cocktail, small bites (by WOW
Catering), a sample of each competitor's cocktail, and a front row seat to the crowning of the third In Good Spirits champion!

Where: Winnipeg Art Gallery- Qaumajuq (300 Memorial Blvd)
When: 6:30 PM-9:30 PM (CAPS Members get 6:00 PM early entrance)
**cocktail sampling ends at 9:00 PM, and the winner crowned before 9:30 PM)

$10 from every ticket sold (including support tickets) goes towards this year’s charity:
