Shake Off Final 2026

🥇 IT’S SHAKE OFF TIME 

They've been shaking it with the rest - now it’s time to see them shake it with the best.

After an incredible response, many nominations and a flood of votes, Glasgow’s top shakers for 2026 have been invited to Daddy Marmaldes on 22nd April to show us their impressive skills at the great Glasgow Shake Off Grand Final, where they will go head-to-head for the title of Best Shake in Glasgow, to be crowned live at The Glasgow Bar Awards at The Bartenders Ball.

🍸 COMPETITION FORMAT

There is two chances for competitors to impress the panel and you, their peers:

1) TECHNICAL👨‍🔬 & SPEED 🏃‍♂️

They will be asked to prepare 2 classic cocktails and will be judged on:

Speed - mostly

Technique - partly

Quality & consistency - definitely

2) THE LEGENDARY 💃 FREESTYLE 🕺ROUND

Their moment to stand out. Backing track, props, costumes, and their drink of choice all wrapped up in a freestyle to end all style.

They will be judged on creativity, performance and execution (and bonus points for absolutely pushing the boat out)

🏆 THERE WILL BE PRIZES

Yes, there will be prizes on the day, but the much coveted, glow in the dark pineapple for the Best Shake In Glasgow, will be handed out at...

The Glasgow Bartenders Ball

📅 Monday 27th April
