During the competition, contestants are given a challenge where their cocktails are judged on appearance, taste and creative use of the weekly ingredient or skill. After the judges try each drink, the top shelf mixologist is named and receives an advantage for the next challenge. The cocktail creators who scored the least compete in a Mix-Off where one will be sent home. I won’t spoil if either of these women won the grand prize but between Kapri and LP, in no particular order, these are the drinks they made throughout the competition;
