Check out the Semi-Finalists in The Craft the Fun Cocktail Challenge presented by Deep Eddy Vodka
By Chilled Magazine
Deep Eddy Vodka is a brand committed to quality and good times—with the understanding that fun and innovation are not mutually exclusive—reminding bartenders that they can be serious about the craft without taking it too seriously.
In the spirit of the craft, Deep Eddy Vodka celebrates cocktails that are equal parts delicious, innovative, and fun. The brand invited bartenders to create an original cocktail recipe featuring Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka. Here are the 24 Semi-Finalist Bartenders moving on to compete in the Craft the Fun Cocktail Challenge by each region.
A total of four Finalist Bartenders, one from each U.S. region (Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, and New York), will earn $1000 each and move on to Austin, Texas to compete as Finalists with an opportunity to win an additional Grand Prize of $5000!
During the final competition, one Grand Prize Winner will receive $5000 and the opportunity to be featured on the Deep Eddy Vodka website, social media, and ad announcing the winning Craft the Fun cocktail.
