About this Event
Join us Wednesday, April 8 from 6:00–8:00 PM for our first ever Amaro Sakura Cocktail Contest at Bully Boy Distillers!
Top New England bartenders will each create an original cocktail featuring our brand new cherry blossom Amaro. Your ticket includes tasting samples from every competing bartender, plus two voting tickets so you can help decide the People’s Choice winner
The event is designed to be free-flowing so guests can walk between bartender stations, chat with local bartenders about their cocktails and enjoy a wide range of Sakura cocktails. A panel of judges will also award prizes for taste, creativity, presentation and use of the amaro
Voting closes at 7:30 PM, and winners will be announced shortly after. The main bar at the distillery will be open from 5-10pm for full-sized cocktails if you'd like to keep the night going
There will be incredible food on site from our friends at Mei Mei Dumplings

About Amaro Sakura
Amaro Sakura starts with dried cherry blossom as the star of the show, then builds from there. Notes of ume plum and oolong tea layer in to create a floral, slightly fruity, gently bittersweet amaro with a really unique aroma. It’s delicate but complex — and unlike anything else on the shelf
