Unwind with friends and share a drink in support of Sister District candidates or causes.

Sign up to host and mix up a few drinks (cocktails and mocktails) sourced from Sister District volunteers around the country. We'd love to add your favorite drink to the list!.

If you wish, our team of devoted organizers can even help you set up an event to track RSVPs and suggest best practices and talking points.
