To submit your masterpiece, you need to create a custom cocktail using Van Gogh Vodka, inspired by a Vincent Van Gogh painting. After creating your signature libation, submit the recipe, along with a photo and the name of a charity you’d like to support. Cocktails will be judged on taste, creativity (think homemade ingredients, ice and glassware) and presentation of the drink with a garnish. The top 25 entries will be chosen for the voting round to compete in a spot for the final three. If you’re one of the chosen three, you’ll be flown down to Charleston for a three-day, two-night trip to compete in the live finals.
