Spirit of Phoenix: Craft the City’s Signature Cocktail
- 3 months ago
The Phoenix is a unique journey to discover the essence of our vibrant city through a signature cocktail. What makes a cocktail uniquely “Phoenix”? You get to decide (Although we have some minor guidelines you have to follow)
Phoenix is well known for its bold and diverse culture, just like its residents. The Phoenix cocktail will reflect that diversity with a mix of local ingredients, representing the different facets of our beautiful city.
• Participants must reside in a Phoenix zip code
• Cocktail must be made via a "traditional" bar technique (shaken, stirred, or thrown) for execution (no blenders, spindles or machines needed)
• Cocktail recipe to be detailed in fluid ounces including execution technique, garnish, ideal glassware
• No more than 2 ounces may be used for a base spirit (40% or Above ABV Spirit); 1 full ounce must be an expression of Milagro Tequila. The rest is up to your creativity(no excluded products, but all used must be accessible).
• Any base spirits, modifiers, bitters, syrups, and mixers in RNDC portfolio is at your disposal. On March 11 & 13 (10am-4pm) at their Test Bar located at 402 S 54th Pl for research and development (just walk in, no reservation required). If these times do not work please make a reservation via email with conor.cook@rndc-usa.com or caleb.stodgehill@rndc-usa.com
• Local or indigenous ingredients are encouraged but must be replicable and attainable. If the prep requires a non-traditional technique or equipment, it should be able to be recreated in a kitchen with no more than 36 hours prep
• A maximum of 3 "house made ingredients" can be used. These ingredient recipes must be included with precise measurements and full technique (time, temperature, etc)
• A friendly reminder this competition is about liquid in glass. A photo of your cocktail and garnish are required. However, all beverages will be tasted and judged by our professional panel and the guests of our fair city without a physical garnish to eliminate visual bias. Tinctures, bitters, oils, etc. may be expressed over the cocktail
• Submissions are due by March 15th at midnight
