Create signature cocktail in Bourbon Women’s ‘Not Your Pink Drink’ contest
Shake this, ladies!
The Bourbon Women Association is launching its inaugural “Not Your Pink Drink” contest designed to encourage professional bartenders and amateur drink makers to create a cocktail reflecting the group’s sassy spirit.
According to a news release, the winning drinks in each category will become the organization’s signature sipper.
Entries must include bourbon and at least two other ingredients–but the resulting drink can’t be pink! Deadline for submissions is Sept. 1.
Winners in each division, professional and amateur, will be announced at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown in September and will be declared the official cocktails of the Bourbon Women Association for one year.
For more information and a complete list of “Not Your Pink Drink” contest rules, visit www.bourbonwomen.org.
The Bourbon Women Association has close to 400 members in 20 states and three countries. The group, founded in 2011 in Kentucky, provides educational and networking opportunities for women who appreciate America’s native spirit. Annual membership is $50 and includes exclusive member-only events at distilleries and other one-of-a-kind events produced solely for Bourbon Women.
