Here at Scapegrace we like to be a little rogue, after all that is what our name stands for.
This is a cocktail competition with a difference. You design the drink and somebody else makes it. You remain anonymous until the winner is announced and who judges the competition you ask? You, the entrants do.
Round 1
Enter
Online entries will be judged on the following criteria
- Originality of your drink – 50 points
Really go for it, express your creativity in any means possible.
- Appearance of your cocktail – 25 points
Based on a photo you submit. Mobile quality is fine so don’t go out and buy the new Nikon D850!
- Creativity from inspiration – 25 points
Based on the two answers of who you’d choose to serve your drink.
Entries open from 23rd July 2018 and close on 17th August, 2018
Round 2
The Regionals
All regional finalists will be notified by email on Friday the 17th of August 2018.
Finalists will be required to attend the regional competition, bringing an unmarked box including:
- All ingredients (apart from the Scapegrace, we’ve got plenty!) to make the cocktail including any homemade ingredients and garnishes
- Glassware/vessel
- A method of 10 steps maximum explaining how to make the cocktail
- A spec of the cocktail in ml’s explaining how any home-made ingredients were made if applicable
- A max 200 word explanation of the drink and where the inspiration came from
Each of the entries for the regional heats will be the judges scoring both themselves and everyone else’s drinks, to ensure this is fair each of them will have to shout out their score for each drink, after each drink is made.
