Week 2 of The Pour-Offs CCCL turned up the heat at IKYK Bar Cocktail in New Britain. The Diablos Team stayed perfect with a league-record 111 points, while High Proof Hustle surged into second with 107. Both teams feature bartenders nominated for Best Bar Team in Connecticut, fueling an early-season rivalry. With Nutmeg Knockouts holding steady and Taco ’Bout Tipsy showing creative promise, the playoff race is already shaking up.

✨ Week 1 of The Pour-Offs CCCL is in the books! High energy, bold cocktails, a packed patio at TJ Burritos, and one very awkward Commissioner’s blunder 🙃. From smoke-filled Sakura Gardens to tropical Rings of Oasis, the judges had their hands full with some serious creativity behind the bar. Check out the full recap, scores, and cocktail spotlights — and see who walked away with the top prize in our opening showdown. 🥂
