Contestants will be challenged to create a custom, creative cocktail using ingredients they select from The Pantry in addition to the required basket items. There are no rules for these cocktails and creativity is the name of the game. Do our contestants have it what it takes to come up with a perfectly balanced, innovative cocktail in just 20 minutes?
