About

Capture the spirit of Miami.

The Miami Spirits Competition exists to celebrate what sets Miami apart — a cocktail culture shaped by the vibrant mix of Latin American, Caribbean, and global influences that call this city home.

Unlike any other judging event in the U.S., our mission is to reinforce Miami’s role as a trendsetting influencer in the cocktail and mocktail world. The tastes of Miami are different — and so are we. Here, flavor is culture, and innovation is tradition.

Each year, a curated panel of world-class bartenders, spirits writers, and industry professionals from across Miami, Latin America, and beyond gather to evaluate the best in rum, tequila, vodka, gin, whiskey, liqueurs, and non-alcoholic spirits.

What a Medal Means

Winning at the Miami Spirits Competition means more than prestige. It signals you’re a brand aligned with one of the most influential cocktail cities in the world. Medalists receive:

  • Promotional support via our social media and press campaigns
  • Inclusion in shelf talkers and marketing materials
  • Visibility among Miami tastemakers, bar programs, and retail buyers
  • A place in the city’s cultural conversation

Global Spirits. Miami Flavor.

The Miami Spirits Competition is where the world meets Miami’s palate — tropical, bold, and always evolving. Whether you’re a small craft producer or a global name, this is your chance to shine in a city that knows what good taste is.

Join us in Fall 2025 for the inaugural competition.

Acerca de la Miami Spirits Competition

Captura el espíritu de Miami.

La Miami Spirits Competition celebra lo que hace única a esta ciudad: una cultura de cócteles influenciada por las vibrantes tradiciones latinoamericanas, caribeñas y globales que conviven en Miami.

A diferencia de otros concursos en Estados Unidos, nuestra misión es reforzar el papel de Miami como referente en el mundo de los cócteles y mocktails. Los sabores de Miami son distintos — y nosotros también. Aquí, el sabor es cultura y la innovación es parte de la tradición.

Cada año, un jurado de bartenders, escritores especializados y profesionales de la industria —de Miami, América Latina y otras partes del mundo— se reúne para evaluar lo mejor en ron, tequila, vodka, ginebra, whisky, licores y destilados sin alcohol.

¿Qué significa una medalla?
