Doctors behind the bar

At the Doctail Mixer, our featured Doctenders each create a signature cocktail or mocktail and serve it from their own table, mingling with guests and community leaders all night.

In 2026 we gathered on the shores of Pine Lake Country Club for a Mexican Fiesta with live mariachi music, a DJ, a taco bar and raffles. Every sip helps fund breakthroughs in pancreatic cancer awareness, early detection, treatment and survival.

How the night works

  1. Test out all Doctender created cocktails

    Every guest is welcome to sample each Doctender's signature drink, both alcohol and nonalcohol options.

  2. Vote for your Doctender

    Buy donation chips and cast them for your favorite Doctender.

  3. Crown the best drink

    Cast a separate vote for your favorite cocktail or mocktail.
