About us
The Bartender Spirits Awards takes place in Chicago. Using the tagline “Judged By Bartenders, Bar Managers, and Off-Premise Managers For The On-Premise Industry,” the Bartender Spirits Awards will recognize, encourage, promote, and celebrate excellence in the U.S. drinks industry. The new competition aims to provide independent and honest reviews for brands targeting the U.S. bar trade. The judging panel consists of some of the most renowned names in the U.S. bar industry, all of them with extensive expertise within the on-premise industry. The result will be a relevant and practical source of reference for bartenders, bar managers, bar owners and other industry professionals when making purchasing decisions for their establishments. Medals will be awarded to those spirits that meet very specific judging criteria, to identify spirits that should become additions to bar inventories. Double Gold, Gold, Silver and Bronze medals are awarded to the best-performing spirits based on the following three factors: taste; packaging; and price. The goal is to isolate those spirits that not only score well in terms of mixability, versatility, and mouthfeel but also are priced attractively and have superior branding and packaging. Medal winners will be showcased in the Bartenders Spirits TOP 100 SPIRITS Guide, distributed to thousands of bartenders in the U.S. In addition, the Bartender Spirits Awards will provide extensive promotional support for all winners in the competition, including press releases, listings on the competition website, and social media updates.

🥃 In 2025, bars and brands are focusing more on sustainability, customization, and new ideas than ever before. Zero-waste mixology is turning leftover ingredients into creative, eco-friendly drinks, cutting down waste while adding great flavor. AI-powered technology is helping bartenders make cocktails that match each guest’s personal taste. At the same time, more people are choosing low- and no-alcohol drinks as they look for healthier options which are packed with superfood ingredients like turmeric and green tea, offering both flavor and wellness benefits. 🍸🤖 🍹 But it’s not just about the ingredients—the way people experience cocktails is changing too. Flavors from around the world, like yuzu, mezcal, and unique spices, are showing up on more menus. Bars are also creating interactive and immersive experiences that go beyond just the drink itself, using creative presentations, digital features, and engaging elements to make every visit memorable. With these shifts happening rapidly, businesses that adapt will stay ahead. Are you ready for the future of cocktails? 👇 Explore the key mixology trends shaping 2025: https://lnkd.in/ddujeTDr . . . . . . #FutureOfCocktails #MixologyTrends #SustainableSipping #SpiritsCocktails #BarIndustryTrends Beverage Trade Network | Bartenders Business | The Bartenders Society | Steven Calabro | Courtenay Greenleaf Torren | Daniel Susko Mario Sandgren | Scott Goldman | Flyers Cocktail Company | IWSR | Amir Babayoff | Charlotte Voisey | Donald Browning | Giga Baindurashvili | Lauren Paylor O'Brien | Jessica Hall | Michael Bullers | Linda Krewson | Philip Fuentes CS | Kevin Njenga | Haley Traub | Evgeny Anisimov | Louis Guinfolleau | Sly Cosmopoulos | Kirsten Lindsay | Emmanuel Hernández | Alejandro Murillo Velandia
