Mixing It Up: Principals Face Off in Cocktail Competition

June 06, 2025

At SK&A, we believe teambuilding can be stirred, shaken, and served with a twist! Our Fun Committee hosted an in-office happy hour that brought a spirited blend of camaraderie and competition to the workplace. The main event? A drink-making face-off between our Principals, who stepped out from behind their desks to serve up signature cocktails and mocktails for their teammates.

The Principals crafted a variety of unique and classic beverages, putting their mixology skills (and presentation flair) to the test. The menu featured:

  • Mint Julep by Walid & Brent
  • Pimm’s Cup by Justin & Hakan
  • Smoke and Mirrors by Seth
  • Negroni by Scott & Josh
  • Noquila Sunrise and Grenadream Mocktails by Cindy

Colleagues were invited to sample each drink and vote for their favorites. The result? A tie for the overall win between Walid and Brent’s Mint Julep and Justin and Hakan’s Pimm’s Cup. In addition, Seth took home the unofficial crown for Best Presentation, thanks to his creative flair and show-stopping style concocting his mysterious beverage, coined “Smoke and Mirrors” by our taste-testers.

Events like these are a reminder that SK&A’s culture is built not only on technical excellence but on trust, collaboration, and a shared sense of fun. We’re more than engineers—we’re teammates who know how to have a good time together.

Cheers to connection, creativity, and a company culture that mixes it all so well. And a big thank you to Gabi and Macenzie for organizing the event and keeping the good vibes flowing!
