Cocktails are a major part of the experience in many Mexican/Latin restaurants. A new contest co-sponsored by Jarritos and el Restaurante magazine is designed to encourage creativity among mixologists.
The top five finalists in the Jarritos/el Restaurante Cocktail Contest will receive cash prizes of $3,000, $2,000, $1,000, $500 and $250 respectively; handsome trophies; recognition in el Restaurante magazine and Jarritos social media; and a supply of Jarritos soda.
Mixologists may enter any cocktail recipe they’d like, as long as at least one ingredient is Jarritos soda (any flavor). The winning recipes will be published in el Restaurante magazine and online, so they must be original creations by the entrants themselves. There is no cost to enter.
“Jarritos plays a big role in Mexican/Latin bars, and we can’t wait to see the creative cocktails mixologists will develop using Jarritos as an ingredient,” says Eric Delamare, Jarritos marketing director.
The contest officially begins May 1 and winners will be announced in September. To submit your recipe, visit elrestaurante.com/Cocktail-Recipe-Contest.
