Craft Clash Houston: Cocktail Competition, Tasting & DJ

Taste every competitor’s creation, cast your vote and party with a DJ at Atlas Heights. One Craft Clash champion. December 16. Ages 21+.

TECHNIQUE MEETS IMAGINATION

Craft Clash Houston brings cocktail creativity, beverage knowledge, storytelling and guest experience into one competition party at Atlas Heights. Taste the competitors’ creations, help decide the winner and enjoy the night with a DJ.

YOUR TICKET INCLUDES

• Samples from each competitor.

• Participation in audience voting.

• Admission to the competition and DJ party.

HOW THE COMPETITION WORKS

Competitors present original cocktails that bring their technique, imagination and stories to life. Judges evaluate the competition, and guests contribute through audience voting. The Craft Clash champion is the competitor with the highest combined judges’ and audience-voting score.

We will recognize the judges’ top choice and the audience’s top choice, but there is one overall Craft Clash winner, determined by the combined score. Your vote contributes to that result.
