I want to pass on a couple of the fun contests that have landed in my inbox lately...
- Domaine de Canton Bartender of the Year - The makers of that fabulous ginger liqueur are looking for original cocktail recipes using their product. The entries are open through February 28, 2012, followed by regional competitions and a final during which the chosen few will compete in front of the judging panel in French St. Martin. The grand prize is $10,000 and some well-deserved recognition. Visit their website for details and to learn more about Domaine de Canton and find cocktails, check out this article.
- Glenrothes Vintage Maker Contest - Want to win a trip to a Scotch distillery and work your magic in finding the best barrels of whisky? This is your chance and it is the answer to many a whiskey enthusiasts' dreams. The beauty of this contest is that you don't have to submit a cocktail, you only have to be able to tell a compelling, life changing story from your past in 1500 characters or less. Four stories will be chosen and their authors will make this trip to the Speyside region of Scotland to work on The Glenrothes 2012 Vintage. Share your 'Vintage Moment' at their website by January 31, 2012.
While we are on the contest notes, I want to remind you that next Sunday (the 27th) is the deadline for our gin cocktail contest. Thanksgiving dinner may be a good opportunity to run any experimental recipes by a tasting panel, or you may want to share one of the current entries with your family (there are some great options that would be ideal).
