A deeply satisfying competition series, the challenges distinct from episode-to-episode in a way that calls to mind the simultaneous chaos/unpredictability as well as repetition of bar life. Go to Full Review

Cheers to a classy culinary competition with cocktails, not cuisine, that elevates both the craft and this genre of reality TV. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Drink Masters isn’t reinventing the wheel in this reality space, but it did highlight some creative and fun drinks that made the entire series worth watching. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 10/29/2022
With twelve contestants all having to make, present and explain their drinks, it felt like the main competition was never going to end. Go to Full Review

Matt J @RT85622388 02/15/2025 The thing lost what little credibility credibility in episode 1 on 2 main points: 1) The contestant who gave the judges a cocktail that would have literally killed them was not immediately eliminated (and put on some kind of watchlist) 2) "The World's Greatest Drinkmaster"* *The World = USA and Canada. I know bartenders in Hong Kong and London who would have wiped the floor with every one of these contestants with their eyes closed See more Jaylen T @RT91170329 09/22/2023 This show was amazing and kept me at the edge of my seat every episode and I don't think I've ever been so invested in a competition show in my life. Also to all the people who are rating the show 1 star because LP won and Tao didn't I would like to say that you shouldn't rate a show so low because you don't like who won. Clearly because of how passionate you are about the result shows that the show did it's job at keeping you invested. BOTH Tao and LP deserved to win they showed up and showed out throughout the entire show. It really should have been a draw between the two, but the show had to have a winner and they chose LP, if they had chosen Tao to win I would have been happy too. All in all this show brought be so much joy and I really want a season 2!!!! This is one of my favorite shows! See more El G @RT37266107 05/17/2023 Absolutely stellar. We really need more seasons, nice to have a classy competition where the spotlight isn't stolen from the contestants by the judges (cough cough The Voice). Chef and baking competitions are whatever at this point, Drink Masters brings a new, fresh focus to competition shows. Wish i could erase my memory and watch it new. 😌 See more RobNZoe K @RT47000536 04/08/2023 The show would've been amazing if the judges judged based on the actual drinks rather than on who made them. Clearly, Tao should've won. I don't even know how LP won seeing as though she should've been eliminated when she wasn't able to fulfill the brief/requirement/s for a certain round. (Was literally shouting at the screen!) See more Elaine V @RT46562589 01/04/2023 This is such a fun show. The contestants are interesting and likable, and it was refreshing and heartwarming to see how they support each other. Of course, these cocktails are not realistic, but what they create is artistic and creative. Some viewers seem angry about this show because it is not realistic. This show is for entertainment, and it hits the mark. I also enjoyed the judges and the host, which is rare. It's a fun and entertaining show, and I miss the contestants already. See more cem y @cmyldz23 12/03/2022 I thought they were thinking on what to do during the race. But at one scene, it has been shown to us that one of the competitors was talking when her hair was still long implying that the footages are recorded before the competition. This kills all the challenge for me. Moreover, the host is constantly trying to do joke and all the others are constantly trying to laugh at it... It is just irritating... See more Read all reviews
