The SWISS COCKTAIL OPEN is the largest cocktail competition in Switzerland. This year, the format once again motivated Barkeeper from all over Switzerland to submit their cocktail recipes.
By the end of March, over 50 recipes had been received, which have now been anonymously evaluated by an expert jury. The best 24 recipes will now be pre-mixed in person by the participants on May 5, 2025 at Chicago 1928 (Hall 550) in Zurich-Oerlikon. It will then be decided which is the best cocktail in Switzerland in 2025.
