Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Colorado Bartenders Guild (COBG) is looking for bartenders with noggins full of gin ideas for the Hendrick's Gin Cocktail Competition. To enter, a bartender needs to concoct a cocktail that includes the base spirit of Hendrick's Gin (at least 1.5 ounces), with a maximum of seven ingredients (one can be homemade), then submit the recipe -- complete with a list of ingredients, proportions, preparation and glassware -- by Friday, October 16 to coloradobartendersguild@gmail.com
The Hendrick's Gin Cocktail Competition will be held at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 28, at Lola, 1575 Boulder Street; it's open to the public, and there will be food and Hendrick's drink specials all night long. I'll be there as a judge, alongside the Hendrick's national ambassador, Charlotte Voissey; Stacey Brugemann from Denver Magazine and Sean Kenyon of the COBG. The winner of the competition will get a trip for two to Las Vegas.
Questions? Call Kenyon at 303-587-7050.
