Five finalists will compete for both a JUDGES' SELECTION prize and a PEOPLE'S CHOICE prize with their sake-forward cocktails.
From 1 to 5 pm, attendees will receive a tasting card and ballot instructions. Taste each one and then vote for your favorite. The winner of this PEOPLE'S CHOICE will received a cash prize. Between 2 and 4 pm, competitors will prepare and present their cocktails to a panel of expert tasting judges, who will award a separate cash prize. Will the PEOPLE and JUDGES agree?
The event ticket gets you...
a tasting portion (~2 oz.) of each cocktail
the right to vote on your favorite
exclusive access to the judged competition and the award ceremony.
