Check Out The Cocktails From The Ole Smoky Bartender Takeover Program

By Chilled Magazine

With the tumultuous last year and a half the service industry has had, Ole Smoky wanted to create a program that would support bartenders and other industries that suffered during the pandemic.

Enter the bartender takeover program; a content series Ole Smoky put together to showcase Ole Smoky cocktail specials from key accounts across the country. The program took off and was a hit with bartenders and consumers alike. Bartenders from all across the US sent in videos of themselves mixing up their favorite Ole Smoky cocktails and helped raise money for restaurant worker relief.
