Hello my friends! Next Tuesday, April 22, I will be competing in the Stoli Original Key West Cocktail Classic.
Yes, the boycott has been called off!
It's a regional competition for bartenders from GLBT establishments. I will be representing Downtown Bar and Lounge. My task at hand is to create an original cocktail using Stoli Vodka that embodies the spirit of Key West. Mission accomplished. It's fucking delicious. If I win the Chicago contest, I get to compete in the national competition held in Key West, against other regional winners from every major city in the country.
My cocktail will be judged by a panel of three on the following criteria: Original cocktail appearance, original cocktail aroma and taste, and showmanship and authenticity. They will be taking crowd support into consideration, and may pick some attendees to act as judges as well, so in order to win, I need your support.
It should be a really fun evening of tasty cocktails from some of Chicago's best bartenders. There should be samples of each competitor's drink for you to taste, as well. Please come out and cheer me on to victory!!!
I promise, it's going to be a blast!
Oh, and feel free to invite anyone you'd like...except Richard Streetman.
