The City Showdown is Patron Perfectionists' regional battle — where the best bartending teams from Los Angeles go head-to-head for a chance to represent their city at the Hacienda Summit in Mexico.
Teams of three will present their signature cocktail creation, compete in a speed round, and face a blind tasting challenge judged by an expert panel.
The winning team earns an all-expenses-paid trip to Hacienda Patron in Jalisco, plus 200 Pencas per team member. It's high stakes, high energy, and high craft.
