The launch of the Central Florida Bartenders’ Guild gave a group of participating members a chance to compete for a free membership into the chapter.
Thanks to Scott with Jim Beam brands, our members were educated on whisky/bourbon and supplied with product to come up with a creative cocktail recipe on the spot, using only what else they could find behind the bar, and “surprise ingredient,” proudly supplied by Lounge Attire Premium Cocktail Cranberries.
Each contestant had a limited amount of time to prepare their whisky/bourbon cocktail of choice (still coming up with names for some of them), which was then judged by a panel of their peers.
Here are a few of the photos to give some insight on the experience:
