Transform your cocktail into a masterpiece through extraordinary garnishes. From edible art to unexpected textures, let your imagination soar.

How the night runs
All 12 teams compete in six head-to-head match-ups. Each match-up is an Individual match and a Team match, seven minutes each, scored on TASTE by a five-judge panel. The round also includes a Mystery Box element, judged on its own, with a bonus for the winner. Teams earn Championship points by their place on the night.
