All recipes, images and contact information for the submission can be sent via email to elizabeth@gottago.us or elizabethjmusgrave@gmail.com by Friday, December 13, 2013.
Posting will occur the week of December 20. This will be a fun way for readers to enjoy cocktails made with great products and inspired by a favorite holiday.
No stress, just fun!
Those chosen will be featured on GottaGo.us.
E-mail submissions only are required, no physical attendance needed for this one.
2) Bar/company/restaurant/mixologist/winery name and location
3) Website and Twitter handle so readers can check you out!
4) Recipe, including measurements, garnish and glassware
**Don't forget**
5) Inspiration for drink-obviously Christmas, but what exactly inspired you to make this particular drink?
6) Image-Please make sure it is a good quality.
This is open to anyone within the spirits/wine/beer company/restaurant realm including mixologists, bars, fine dining, bartenders, sommeliers, hotels, companies, spirit entrepreneurs, et cetera. The idea is to feature cocktails inspired by Christmas and all the nostalgic, fun, spiritual and other feelings about the holiday. Let your imagination run wild with this one...it can go many directions: Santa, sugarplums, Chrismas trees, shopping, misteltoe, candy canes, elves, reindeer, nativity, a particular carol, movies, holiday candy, ...you get the idea!
***Special Note***
Several cocktails were disqualified for the last Top 10 cocktail lists due to the drink name and/or inspiration missing or not applicable to the theme. Let's see your best themed drink! Sending in a cocktail with a non-themed name and/or inspiration will, unfortunately, be disqualified.
(Ex. sending a chocolate martini with the brand as the name or stating it is inspired by your love of Christmas isn't an inspired-by drink. However, a chocolate martini with a mint liquer flavored Christmas tree-shape floating in it ~ inspired by dcorating the tree while sipping hot chocolate would work....)
