True North Old Fashioned Cocktail Competition Crystal Falls

 The True North Cocktail Competition returns to Crystal Falls, Michigan on November 8, 2025, at Young’s Recreation Complex for a night of handcrafted drinks, great music, and community fun. This annual event invites guests to sip, savor, and vote for the best Old Fashioned cocktail in the North.

Attendees will enjoy ten creative Old Fashioned recipes crafted by local favorites such as Alpha MI Brewery, Sandstone Terrace, Young’s Fire Brick Grill, and more. Each guest receives the chance to taste and judge all ten cocktails, indulge in hors d’oeuvres, and join the excitement of DJ-hosted entertainment. Raffle baskets filled with local goodies will also be available throughout the evening.

Tickets are $70 per person and can be purchased online at the official event page: True North Cocktail Competition Tickets. You can also buy tickets in person at Alpha Michigan Brewing Company . Everyone is welcome to participate, and you don’t need to be present to win raffle prizes.

The True North Cocktail Competition is more than a tasting event—it’s a celebration of creativity, mixology, and Iron County’s vibrant social spirit. Bring friends, meet the makers, and experience an unforgettable evening in Crystal Falls.
