About this Event

Show Me Your Garden: Harvest Round

Join us Tuesday November 12th at 4:30 for our harvest themed cocktail competition, where mixology meets the beauty of nature and the spirit of community…and then we throw some fall at it. We want to celebrate the artistry of crafting exquisite cocktails infused with the freshest flavors and highlight local spirits that embody the craftsmanship and dedication of our regions distilleries.

Competitors will be creating drinks using their choice of spirits from Switchgrass Spirits, Still 630 Distillery, and 1220 Spirits. These drinks must also contain three seasonal garden harvest elements.

In addition to a formal judging panel, attendees will have the chance to sample prepared cocktails from our contestants and choose their favorite. From aromatic herbs to savory gourds and botanical infusions, each sip should be a tribute to the vibrant flavors of our surroundings. Attendees will also get to observe a MacGyver round of competition, where contestants will create a drink on the fly using specific provided elements.

Doors will open at 4:30 for sampling and mingling. Formal judging presentation will start between 5:30-6:00.

Tickets are $45 and will include samples of each of the competitors prepared cocktails along with samples of spirits from our cosponsors from 4:30-7:00.

Our kitchen will be open until 7.

Huge thank you to Missouri Botanical Gardens, Switchgrass Spirits, Still 630, 1220 Spirits, Big O
