Cargo Collective Cocktail Championships 2026
About
🍸 Follow the River. Find the Flavour. 🍸Cargo Collective presents our Second Annual Cocktail Championship.
Join us as Queenstown’s best bartenders bring our Wild Rivers gin range to life — crafting cocktails inspired by wild places, flowing rivers, and bold flavour.
This isn’t just a competition.
It’s a first taste of our newest gin, a front-row seat to live cocktail creation, and an afternoon soundtracked by a live DJ and buzzing Brew Hall energy.
Spend your afternoon:
☀️ Tasting Wild Rivers gin before it’s released
🍸 Watching Queenstown’s top bartenders craft cocktails live
🎧 Enjoying a DJ set in the sunshine
It’s the perfect summer stop — cold drinks, great music, and front-row seats to serious mixology, all in true Queenstown style.
💘 Free entry | Donations encouraged
We’re proud to be partnering with the Queenstown Fire Brigade, with all donations going directly towards supporting their Combat Challenge team — helping fund training, travel, and competitions across New Zealand and on the world stage, including the World Firefighter Challenge in the USA 🚒❤️
Easygoing, flavour-packed, and made for summer.
