Drink Masters is set to pit 12 mixologists against each other as they compete for the grand prize of $100K and the title of the first-ever "Drink Master."
Shot in Canada, the show picked the top mixologists from North America to compete in the show. To win the title, these contestants must impress two legendary figures in the cocktail world, Frankie Salorik and Julie Reiner.
Comedian and actor Tone Bell, who will serve as the host of the reality show, will also take part in the tasting.
The synopsis of the show reads:
"Twelve of the world's most innovative mixologists infuse, stir and blend their way through a series of high-stakes cocktail challenges to win a life-changing prize and the title of The Ultimate Drink Master."
Drink Masters will premiere on October 28 on Netflix.
