Roswell's Summer Sippin' 2021 Winners Announced

ROSWELL, GA — It’s been a full three months of Summer Sippin’ in Roswell, and it has concluded with the recently announced winners of the 2021 “Best Sip in Roswell.”

The winner in the alcoholic category is Hugo’s Oyster Bar’s “Spiced Blackberry Julep” and the winner in the non-alcoholic category is Crazy Love Coffeehouse’s “Strawberry Fields Latte.”

This year’s event stretched from June 1 through Aug. 31 and is the longest time frame a Summer Sippin’ promotion has taken place. There were 50 participating locations with restaurants, cafes, and breweries all creating their own specialty drink to be added to their menu this summer. Patrons rated each sip they tried on SummerSippin.com or on the Summer Sippin’ app. The ratings were tallied at the end of the summer and the winners chosen.

“We’re thrilled at the level of Summer Sippin’ participation from our local food and beverage partners, as well as the support from our community and visitors,” Visit Roswell Executive Director Andy Williams said. “We appreciate the level of commitment from all involved and look forward to another successful program next summer.”

"An important part of Roswell's economy, the hospitality industry is the city's fourth-largest sector by number of jobs, and restaurants alone generate more than $200-million in sales annually," Executive Director of Roswell Inc Steve Stroud said. "That is why we put this event on each year. Summer Sippin' helps to support our vibrant and diverse food and beverage industry by attracting consumers from throughout the region and boosting sales. To further our support efforts this year, we were elated that through strong sponsor support of this event, we were able to offer it at no cost to the participating restaurants."
