Bar Fight: Bad Santa Holiday Edition Presented by Absolut Vodka

Four of Toronto's top bartenders from the city’s most iconic bars go head-to-head in a festive showdown like no other!

It’s the Holiday edition of our monthly spirit-based cocktail competition, where the stakes are high, the spirits are higher, and the theme is Bad Santa. Expect naughty twists, holiday cheer, and bold creations as these mixology masters battle it out for the ultimate bragging rights. One winner. One epic night. Who will sleigh the competition? 🎅🍸

Cocktail Elves Assemble: Josh (@joshkeenan13) of Public Gardens, Fernando (@cherryshighdive) from Cherry’s High Dive, Sonic (@sonic.blake) representing King Taps King West, and Jordan (@jordannazevedo) from King Taps Financial are decking the halls with their cocktail creativity in this frosty face-off. Each mixologist will shake, stir, and garnish their way to the top, hoping to land on your Nice List and claim ultimate bragging rights, while the two runners-up walk away with... a lump of coal. 🪨
No matter what you celebrate throw on your most festive fit—there’s a prize for the best-dressed guest—and join us on December 22nd at 9 PM for a night of holiday spirits, yuletide rivalry, and enough cheer to fill Santa’s sleigh.
Tickets are just $20 (including tax), and here’s what’s waiting under the tree for you: two delicious holiday cocktails, samples, and a voting chip to crown your festive cocktail champion. 🎁🍹🎄
