Convention Cocktail Competition

[Richard]

One of the deciding factors in the judging process though will be the cost of the drink. As we want to have the winner available to buy at the hotel, a hugely expensive drink won't be chosen... case in point...



(2014) World's most expensive cocktail goes on sale for nearly £9,000: Flute contains vintage Cristal and rare 'liquid gold' Armagnac
The Gigi's was unveiled last night at opening of Gigi's restaurant in Mayfair
Created for Grace Jones - and for the rich who 'don't need to ask the price'
£8,888 cocktail contains 1888 Samalens Vieille Relique Vintage Bas Armagnac

The hotel will also be supplying us with a list of ingredients to choose from - ones that they already have in stock or can easily source as it would be no use having ingredients not available locally.

However, depending on how many entries we get I may include a page of recipes in the convention magazine so you could still submit the one you mentioned.

That would be a cool addition I think!

I've got my thinking cap on...
My favourite 'after work' drink was always just a random mixture of pretty much everything.... so this is gonna be fun!

No Ginger, no Cocktail! 

[Richard]

Good point, you would think stem ginger would be readily available. Will ask that very question to the hotel!

[Jenniesapetal]

I had a good idea but alas there no fresh mint or raspberries !!!

[Richard]

It's a no to ginger I'm afraid.
I'm guessing they want to steer clear of committing to too many fresh ingredients

[nonnie88]

Silly question, but will there be milk available?!

[Richard]

Silly question, but will there be milk available?!

It's a yes to milk. The hotel are bringing in a cow for the weekend.

So we can sacrifice it to the Dark Lord Sokar at the end of the con?
