Casa Dragones Jamming Sessions 2023 is BACK and Registration is now OPEN!

Tequila Casa Dragones is back with another installment of Jamming Sessions — and this one is going to be extra special. The theme: It’s all about you! Introduce yourself with a cocktail and showcase your talent by doing what you love best: crafting cocktails. This competition is designed for bartenders to showcase their talents by designing unique, signature cocktails with Casa Dragones Blanco.

Registration is open NOW – enter here. The deadline for registration period is February 23rd, 2023.

Last year, 8 Finalists traveled to San Miguel de Allende to participate in the live finale during Barra México, Latin America’s leading bar show.

Once again, this year, Casa Dragones will be choosing 8 Finalists to participate in the live finale in their hometown of San Miguel de Allende and additional cash prices will be available.

Casa Dragones is committed to showcasing the unique talents of the bartender community. Which is why they would like you to create a cocktail that best describes you, such as a cocktail inspired by your favorite pet, your favorite color, your favorite food, or anything else you choose. All submissions will receive $100. You’ll also receive the chance to win a trip to San Miguel de Allende and up to $1,000 cash.

The criteria that the judges will use to evaluate the submissions will be presentation, ingredients, originality, and inspiration.
