The “Make It Exotico” Cocktail Competition Returns for 2018
Online entry has been extended to December 20th. Enter Today!
An award-winning brand of tequila—Exotico—is calling on Indy’s mixologists. The challenge: create your take on a cocktail using Exotico Blanco or Reposado Tequila as the base spirit. Exotico is one of Mexico’s most respected makers of tequila, handcrafting each batch using “premium 100% Weber Blue agave grown in the Highlands of Jalisco.”
Wining mixologists will be selected from all over the U.S. and invited to cross-compete in a second challenge to win a trip to Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans in July 2018. “Finalists will compete once more for the Grand Prize: an all-expense paid trip to Jalisco, Mexico, to visit Exotico Tequila’s distillery, Destiladora González y González,” and its agave fields.
If you love tequila and your craft, take it on and mix it up by December 20th. Cheers!
