Roswell Summer Sippin’ 2018 Winners Announced

ROSWELL, GA — The long-awaited Summer Sippin’ winners for 2018 have finally been decided. Taking the prizes in this contest was the Whiskey Project’s “Rye Tai” in the alcoholic category and Sublime Tree’s “Tropical Blast” in the non-alcoholic category.

From June 1 through July 31, 40 participating restaurants all featured a unique summer-inspired specialty drink not already featured on their menus. Patrons then rated each sip they tried on the Summer Sippin’ event app, which was available for free on both iPhone and Android, and those ratings were used to determine the “Best Sips in Roswell” for the year.

“Congratulations to the winners of this year’s Summer Sippin’ competition,” said Steve Stroud, executive director of Roswell Inc. “While only two restaurants could take home the official “Best Sip in Roswell” title, we are proud of all the local restaurants that showcased their creativity through this event — their innovation is what continues to make Roswell a top tier destination to drink, dine and socialize.”
