Benidorm’s annual cocktail contest kicks off

The fifth edition of the V Concurso de Cocktails, an annual event in Benidorm, is currently underway, offering locals and tourists the opportunity to sample and vote on the city's finest cocktail creations. Running from September 11 to September 20, this event is part of the Benidorm Gastronomy 2026 calendar and features participating venues such as Ku Lounge Café, Urban Beach, La Pinta Beach, La Terrasse at Port Benidorm, and Coctelería Diva 15.

Each venue offers two signature drinks – an alcoholic option for €9 and a non-alcoholic alternative for €7. Participants can rate each cocktail on a scale of one to five stars using QR codes at the participating establishments, with public scores determining the 2026 Public Special Mention and entering voters into a prize draw for cocktail vouchers.

An expert jury will also award the Jury Prize for Best Cocktail and Best Alcohol-Free Cocktail, making it a great way for visitors to support local establishments and discover new favorite spots.
