Nothing is a refreshing on a hot summer night as a cool cocktail, and the summer is the time for fresh, local ingredients. To celebrate the two, Vancouver Foodster introduces the first ever 100 Mile Cocktail Challenge. Running until July 27th, competing restaurants are showcasing cocktails created with at least 60% local ingredients that are found within 100 miles of the restaurant. All restaurants have created a unique cocktail just for this challenge and are offering for sale during the entire run.
As usual for Vancouver Foodster Challenges there will be two set of winners. The People’s Choice winners will be chosen by the public who are invited to take the cocktail creations and vote for their favourite online at VancouverFoodster.com
There will also be a panel of media judges tasting all the cocktails during the challenge and determining their favourites from the offerings.
The media judges are;
