Another Great Cocktail Contest

Attention, Imbibers! You’ll be seeing an ad for this in your Jan/Feb issue (in the mail now), but we wanted to go ahead and let you know about another exciting contest on the horizon. Starting on January 1, you can enter to win a trip to Sicily and $1,500 cash by creating a winning Averna cocktail recipe. The submission deadline is March 31, 2008, at which point the field of entries will be judged and narrowed, and the top-scoring cocktails will be mixed at special Averna events during April. The four finalists from those events will each win a trip to Sicily in May to compete for the grand cash prize. Averna is a fantastic ingredient to work with, so this should be a fun exercise in cocktail-making. You have a while to come up with a winning recipe, so start experimenting now, and make us proud—we can’t wait to see who wins this one! Click here for more info.
