Summertime fun with Nashville Smile Bar
On Thursday, August 6, Nashville Lifestyles hosted Bartender Bash: Summer Edition at Fogg Street Lawn Club, where guests gathered for an evening of spirited competition, refreshing cocktails, and summer rooftop vibes.
Attendees sampled a variety of craft cocktails created by some of Nashville's top bartenders. Each participating bartender crafted two signature cocktails, one featuring Deep Eddy Vodka and one featuring Lunazul Tequila, putting their creativity and mixology skills on full display.
Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed unlimited cocktail samples before casting their votes for their favorite drinks in each spirit category. At the end of the competition, "Garden Party" with Cherries took home the title of Best Deep Eddy Vodka Cocktail, while "Star Fire" with Denim earned Best Lunazul Tequila Cocktail.
DJ Alanna Royale kept the energy high with summer-inspired tunes. Guests also enjoyed photo booth fun courtesy of Nashville Smile Bar.
