Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 6/15/24

June 18 – August 13

Summer Sippin’, Roswell’s annual beverage competition and promotion, returns for its 9th year this
summer from June 18 – August 13. This year, 51 establishments are participating and each one is tasked to create a
special summer inspired drink.


During this two-month event, patrons are encouraged to order sips from participating establishments and rate
them on the Summer Sippin’ app or on SummerSippin.com. At the conclusion of the event, one alcoholic and one
non-alcoholic beverage will win the title of ‘Best Sip in Roswell’. Patrons can expect to see a mix of Roswell
breweries, tasting rooms, coffee shops and restaurants on the list of places to try. #SummerSippin2024 will serve
as the official hashtag.


“We’re thrilled Summer Sippin’ is back for its ninth year this summer. This annual competition is a great way for
our organization to collaborate with our local hospitality businesses and showcase their teams’ creative talents. It
provides us a fun way to promote our food and beverage partners while helping to drive sales during the summer
months,” says Andy Williams, Executive Director of Visit Roswell.


“After nearly a decade, Summer Sippin’ has become an annual tradition for a lot of restaurants in Roswell,” said
Steve Stroud, Executive Director of Roswell Inc. “We are proud to offer this program for one of our leading
industries. Roswell restaurants are a key sector of our economy, employing over 4,500 individuals and generating
more than $250 million annually.”

Runs August 1 to September 30

50 Participating Restaurants and Sips here.

Summer Sippin’ Roswell, a two-month beverage competition that typically occurs from June through July, will take place this year from August 1 through September 30. This event was created in 2016 as an industry support program by Roswell Inc, the city’s economic development organization, and in the event’s fifth year, more than 50 restaurants are competing to have their drink crowned ‘ Best Sip in Roswell’ 2020.

“With new safety standards and carryout options, Summer Sippin’ is a great way for our community to safely celebrate the end of summer and support our local food and beverage industry, which has felt the tremendous impact of COVID-19,” said Steve Stroud, executive director of Roswell Inc. To ensure the health and wellbeing of both our businesses and patrons, all participating restaurants will implement the following 5 ‘Sip Safely Standards’, which are in direct alignment with guidance provided by the State of Georgia, City of Roswell and CDC:

● Clean Restaurants Tabletops will be cleaned between diners, and entire facilities will be thoroughly and regularly cleaned, focusing on high-traffic areas.
● Wearing Masks. Employees will follow face-covering guidance per state and local ordinances.
● Frequent Hand Washing. Employees are trained on the importance and expectation of increased frequency of handwashing.
● Physical Distancing. Restaurants will comply with capacity and physical-distancing requirements in accordance with
state and local guidelines.
● Carryout & Delivery. Where possible, restaurants will offer carryout, curbside or delivery options.

Furthermore, the majority of participating restaurants will offer a carryout drink option in addition to serving their cocktail in-house, allowing patrons to participate in whichever way they choose. Carryout drink options include mocktails that can be “spiked” at home, DIY cocktail kits and hand-crafted cocktail mixes. During the two-month event, patrons are encouraged to order sips from participating restaurants, and then rate each sip they try on the Summer Sippin’ app or at SummerSippin.com. At the end of the event, based on the drink ratings, one alcoholic and one non-alcoholic drink will each win the title of ‘Best Sip in Roswell’ 2020. Patrons can also share their sippin’ experiences during the event using the hashtags #SipSafelyRoswell and #SummerSippin2020.
