- **Event Description**: Join us for a mixology competition on Thursday, February 12, 2026 from 6-9 pm at the 7 Hills Ballroom. You'll enjoy unique and delicious cocktails created by mixologists from more than a dozen area bars and restaurants. These expert bartenders will compete to impress both you and a panel of professional judges in the following categories:

Best gin/vodka drink 
Best tequila drink 
Best rum drink 
Best whiskey/bourbon drink 
Best mocktail drink
This fun-filled event will include food, music, games, dancing and plenty of Perfect Pairings. 

This year's theme is "Perfect Pairing". This theme is open to your interpretation. That perfect pair could be a perfect or famous couple. Maybe two liquids that when mixed make the perfect cocktail (Rum and Coke, Vodka and Lemonade). Or perhaps it's two other things that go perfectly together. For us, the perfect pair is YOU, our donors, and our mission to prevent and reduce poverty in our community. Together you are the perfect pair! 
Dress the part of your version of the "perfect pair" to be entered into a best dressed contest. Contestants will be judged on creativity and execution.
