Nederlandse Bartenders Club

The competition is powered by our golden sponsor MESAMIS – Free Spirits of Amsterdam, and it’s shaping up to be a proper industry moment.

What makes it different?
This isn’t “non-alc cocktails on the side.” It’s a serious cocktail competition—focused on adult flavour, technique, and originality, without alcohol. Think bitterness, depth, texture, aromatics, finish. The whole thing.

Why you should enter:

• Cash prizes for the winners (€ 500 for the winner, € 250 for the runner-up and € 100 for the 3rd place)
• Honour + visibility in a category that’s rapidly becoming essential in top bars
• Your drink showcased to an audience of peers who actually care about craft
• Present to an amazing jury: Sebastian Cichowlas, Laurynas Lazdauskas and Luca Gislon (last year’s winner).

If you’ve got an idea, now’s the time. Have a look at the attached flyer for the details of participation. But don’t wait: deadline = one week from now.

Will you be one of the 5 finalists?
