Check Out the Craft the Fun Cocktail Challenge Regional Competition Winners—Dallas and Atlanta
Qualifying Regional Competitions Will Take Place in Five Cities Across the United States.
The Deep Eddy Vodka Craft the Fun Cocktail Challenge is underway with semifinalists chosen to compete for a spot in the finals. This competition is not just about showcasing the art of the cocktail, but also about embracing your inner spirit of playfulness.
Deep Eddy Vodka encourages combining quality craftsmanship with enjoyment, emphasizing that no amount of technique will make a cocktail delicious without a sense of fun. Cocktails should highlight the brand while also being equal parts delicious, innovative, and fun.
The remaining regional competitions will be held in Boston, MA on 8/1, Chicago, IL on 8/5, and San Diego, CA on 8/19.
A total of five bartenders, one from each of the regional competitions, will be chosen to compete as finalists in Austin, TX, and receive $1,000 each as a prize. Regional runners-up will receive $500 and regional competitors who placed 3rd-6th will receive $100.
Additionally, the five regional winners will receive an all-expense paid trip to Austin, TX September 15th-18th for a chance to become the 2024 Craft the Fun Cocktail Challenge Winner. The trip will include a unique Austin-experience, brand education, interaction with national judges, the final competition, and a celebratory dinner.
One Grand Prize Winner will receive $5,000 and the opportunity to be featured on the Deep Eddy Vodka website, social media, and an advertisement in Chilled Magazine announcing the winning 2024 Craft the Fun cocktail.
