Mattoni Grand Drink 2026

Karlovy Vary once again becomes the stage for one of the world's most prestigious bartending events. The 27th edition of the international competition Mattoni Grand Drink (and the 14th official World Championship under IBA auspices) welcomes the best bartenders from dozens of countries, competing for a prestigious title and prize money.

The contestants' central task is to create an original non-alcoholic cocktail that is well-balanced, innovative, and meets targets for a healthy lifestyle and low calorie content. Visitors can look forward to a thrilling bartending show where every detail counts – from precise preparation technique to the final drink presentation.

The event is traditionally complemented by a rich public programme: concerts by popular artists, interactive bartending workshops, and the unforgettable atmosphere of the blooming spa town.
