“Spirit Wars” features two bartenders, two cocktails, and some fierce and fun competition for best cocktail bragging rights! Hunter Church, General Manager for Neat Bottle Shop & Tasting Room, challenges Slayde Martin from Pescado in a battle of the bartenders. They’ll be mixing and sharing some of their favorite cocktail recipes for your votes. So, grab these ingredients, tune in, follow along, and be sure to vote for your favorite cocktail in each category!
