The city’s best bartenders will gather and compete for the honor of creating the “Official Drink of H-Town.” During the competition, featured bartenders will present an original cocktail using any of the following spirits: Grey Goose, Patrón, Bacardi Ocho, Bombay Sapphire, or Teeling. A panel of beverage experts and event attendees will taste and vote for the winning cocktail, which will be featured on the Bayou & Bottle menu for one year. Prizes from Four Seasons Hotel Houston will also be awarded.

Tickets will include three-ounce samples of each cocktail and charcuterie. Proceeds from the competition will benefit Southern Smoke Foundation and the Houston Chapter of the Bartenders’ Guild of America.
