Roswell quenches thirst with annual summer drink competition

Roswell's super summer drink competition

Summer Sippin’ is Roswell’s annual summer beverage competition and promotion, challenging the city’s top restaurants to create a special drink and then encouraging diners to try them out and rate them from one to five stars.

ROSWELL, Ga. - Coffee, shakes, cocktails, and mocktails are on the menu for this year’s Summer Sippin’ in Roswell. And we don’t know about you, but after seeing some of the offerings featured on Good Day Atlanta this morning, we’re sure feeling thirsty!

Summer Sippin’ is Roswell’s annual summer beverage competition and promotion, challenging the city’s top restaurants to create a special drink and then encouraging diners to try them out and rate them from one to five stars! At the end of the event (Aug. 19, in this case), the restaurant with the most votes wins the coveted title of "Best Sip!" Not only is this year’s event the 10th anniversary of Summer Sippin’, it’s also the biggest yet: more than 60 establishments are part of the fun, which means residents have plenty of drinks from which to choose!

Here’s how it works: there’s a full list of participating businesses online (which you can find by clicking here). Diners can visit as many as they’d like, and after ordering the establishment’s official Summer Sippin’ drink, rate it on the website or on the Summer Sippin’ App. That’s it — cheers!

And the good news is that there’s something for everyone this summer: yes, there are cocktails, but there are also mocktails, decadent dessert drinks, coffee concoctions, and more.

This morning, we visited a whopping six of the restaurants competing for "Best Sip" — all of which are located in the new Southern Post mixed-use development. Click the video player in this article to check it out!
