Dry Heat: A Zero-Proof Mixology Showcase & Competition

About the event

Zero-proof has never meant zero fun. Join us for Dry Heat, Denver's first annual zero-proof mixology competition, on Thursday, July 30, at The Phoenix. Local bars and restaurants will compete with their best alcohol-free cocktails while you taste, vote, and crown the 2026 champion. Enjoy light bites, drag entertainment, prizes, and samples from brands like Athletic Brewing, Gruvi, and Casamara Club. All proceeds support Denver ELEMENT's LGBTQ+ programming through Mile High Behavioral Healthcare.
