Cynar sponsors New York City Cocktail Competition With $1,000 Prize
Dear New York Area Bartenders,
Lemons, limes, oranges, cucumbers all go just fine in cocktails but it’s time to try something new…the artichoke.
Think your palate and mixing skills are up to the challenge of putting together a drink made from Cynar (www.heaven-hill.com)? It’s not tough to love the Italian aperitif made from a blend of artichoke leaves and herbs infused in an alcohol base. People have been loving it since it was introduced in Italy in 1949 and Cynar quickly became a favorite sipped on the rocks, with soda or cola; but it’ll be even more interesting to see what else you can do with it.
Your colleagues will be the judge when they gather at Trump SoHo (www.trumpsohohotel.com) on August 23rd and they’re surely eager to taste test what you’ll bring to Cynar’s cocktail competition, co-sponsored by the USBG NY chapter. So grab a bottle of Cynar, and no more than five other ingredients (including: bitters, syrups, rimmers, garnishes and other toppings) and show us what you’ve got. Your creation could win everyone’s approval, and $1,000 in the process.
