Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

Paloma Punchout is a bartending competition coming to the Esplanade, located at 2501 E. Camelback Rd., on October 22nd from 8 p.m. - 11 p.m. where 10 bartenders from around the country including Phoenix-based Arlene Magana from Platform 18 Bar, will be competing to earn the title of the best Paloma cocktail along with a $10,000 cash prize!
 
The cocktails will be scored by a weighted system on flavor, balance, appearance, and inspiration. Each of the 10 bartenders won a similar competition in their home city to earn the chance to compete in the finals.

Another Round Another Rally, a nonprofit financial and educational resource for the hospitality industry, will be the beneficiary of this event. https://anotherroundanotherrally.org/
