FNCTN and Tahoe Blue Vodka’s Triple Crown of Bartending competitions come to an end with Cocktail Concoctions on Sunday, Aug. 23 at Steamers Bar & Grill.
“This will undoubtedly be the toughest competition of the entire series,” stated Mike Peron of FNCTN. “In the past, bartenders have been able to draft up a specialty recipe and hone in their skills prior to arriving, but this time there are some major surprises in store for them!”
The Triple Crown of Bartending series concludes on Sunday, August 23rd from 12:00 – 4:00 pm with the cocktail concoction competition where a $500 cash purse is up for grabs. This new event will be testing the skills of South Lake Tahoe’s top bartenders while raising money to Keep Tahoe Blue. Contestants will be presented with surprise ingredients upon arrival and will need to make a brand new cocktail with Tahoe Blue Vodka as the main ingredient. Judges will award points based on taste, originality, presentation and use of surprise ingredients.
In addition to live outdoor music from Big Sticky Mess, guests can taste a variety of custom-made Tahoe Blue Vodka cocktails as some of your favorite bartenders show off their originality with chances to win great prizes from a charity raffle benefitting The League to Save Lake Tahoe. The event is free and open to all ages, with $10 tastings of 10 samples for attendees 21 and over.
There are still a few competitor slots open, with a $500 purse up for grabs. To sign up for one of the limited bartending spots contact FNCTN via info@FNCTNmusic.com.
