Asheville bar scene

Ten Asheville bars created Icelandic-themed drinks to compete in the 2nd Annual Bar Wars AVL - a friendly cocktail competition that also benefits local nonprofits. There's still time to bop around and sample some, vote, and help determine who wins.

Whether it's curling up by a bonfire, mountain walks through orange leaves or just diving into something comforting and spicy, surely one of these drink recipes will inspire your thirst.

Ever scrub a smashed raw egg off a beautifully aged wooden floor at three o'clock in the morning?
