Bottoms up! International Market Place’s second annual Mixology Month is back for all of July with participating restaurants offering exclusive signature cocktails and pupus for $5 and $10 each.

Starting July 10 and every Wednesday in July, a Battle of the Bartenders will have Grand Lanai and The Street Food Hall mixologists going shaker to shaker for bragging rights and a $2,000 cash prize. The competition’s from 5 to 6 p.m. in Queen’s Court on level 1 and admission is free, so go cheer on your favorite mixologist. The ultimate championship battle is on July 31 — winners from each week will shake off for the grand prize. 

Mixology Month concludes with Girls’ Night Out on July 26 from 5 to 9 p.m. In partnership with Hawaii Food & Wine Festival, International Market Place will host an evening featuring a glass of bubbly at Saks Fifth Avenue, bites and sips at Eating House 1849, StripSteak Waikiki and Flour & Barley, and dessert at Burger Hale. All attendees — guys are welcome, too — will receive a gift from participating retailers, including a luxe beauty treatment at Saks Fifth Avenue. Tickets are $95 and available for purchase.
