Mixology Challenge is an energetic, hands-on team-building event that combines cocktail creation, friendly competition, and social connection. Participants learn the art and science of mixology from a professional bartender or mixologist while working in teams to design, mix, and present their own signature drinks. Using BridgeTheApp™, teams complete interactive trivia, photo, and video challenges to earn ingredients, tools, and bonus advantages. The experience is fun, flavorful, and perfectly suited for an afternoon social or pre-dinner cocktail event.
