Browns brasseries in Oxford and Cambridge will be competing against each other today and across the weekend, to see who can out-drink the other with specially designed 'Oxbridge' cocktails.
Browns have created three 'Oxbridge Blue' cocktails to mark the occasion named the Coxless Pear, The Blue Lady and Nutty Professor.
The cocktails will be priced at £4.50 and the winning bar will be chosen following the race.
If you're wondering what's in the intriguingly-named Nutty Professor, it features Germana Cachaça as well as blue Curacao, almond syrup and lime juice.
