[A Contest!]"},"content":{"rendered":"

Well, it seems we've hit a bit of a good stretch lately at Cocktailians. Some excellent reviews from Vidiot, a lovely (if occasionally wet) summer here in NYC, and now, we've been lucky enough to be asked to participate in a contest in which, honestly and without corniness in the slightest, everyone will be a winner. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Thursday, July 30, 2009, Bar Artisanal<\/a> will throw what could easily be the social event of the Summer: A cocktail contest for amateur mixologists, with the winner getting their creation added to Artisanal's extremely well-regarded menu. From their notes to us: <\/p>\n

\n

Amateur mixologists and cheese lovers alike (who are at least 21 years) should send an original cocktail recipe that pairs well with cheese for a chance to have their cocktail featured on the Bar Artisanal cocktail menu and win $200 gift certificates for each of the Artisanal Group restaurants: Bar Bar Artisanal, Artisanal Fromagerie, Bistro and Wine Bar, and Picholine.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The judges' panel will include: Terrance Brennan, Chef-Proprietor of Artisanal and Bar Artisanal; Robert Haynes-Peterson, The NY Drinks Examiner; Jason Miller, Artisanal Group Beverage Director; Dave Arnold, Director of Culinary Technology at The French Culinary Institute; and, um, yours truly. (I can claim I'm an unbribeable judge, but please, feel free to try me.) <\/p>\n

If you'd like to enter a cocktail in the contest, or if you'd just like more information, you can contact them through email<\/a> or through their Facebook page<\/a>. And of course, if you're more of a partaker than a maker of cocktails, there will be steep discounts for all the contested offerings the evening of the contest. <\/p>\n

Regardless, it sounds like it's going to be a hell of a fun night. I hope some of you can come on out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
