2024 Cocchi Competition

Your chance to engage with complexity, creativity and win!

The team at Tickety-boo Liquor are driving forward the Cocchi competition - inviting participants to think creatively about how vermouth can be used to drive complexity and sensory exploration in fizz and lower ABV options. The rules are simple — 30ml Cocchi minimum and 5 ingredient maximum (ice and garnish excluded).

12 Semi Finalists from across NZ will be selected for Round 2!

Round 2 – Mystery Judging (19th March-1st April)
Mystery judges will score semi-finallist cocktails in-venue to try their cocktails where they will be scored against the judging criteria. Top 6 scoring drinks will move on to round 3!

Round 3 – FINAL (16th April – 19th April) // PRIZE ROUND
