What a fun event! Four local Mixologists whipped up some yummy cocktails using Iowa Distilling Company's Iowa Shine Whiskey, Steel Drum Rum and Prairie fire Whiskey. So fun!
There were two ticket options, The VIP which included early admission as well as a behind the scenes tour and goodie bag and General Admission. Both were under $40 (with $10 coupon floating around) and both included 4 nice sized servings of the 4 cocktails.Mixologists included Nick Eldrige form Americana, Dave Murrin-Von Ebers from Hessen Haus, Angel Cotten from Cattoors on Grand and Hailey Workman from the Lime Lounge.
Party-goers had the same idea as me when it came to judging! I thought Angel Cotten's Burnin' Pink Lady was the most creative, Dave Murrin-Von Eber's Bumpin' Granny was the tastiest and the all-around favorite was the Hot Toby.
Emcee Ben Gran provided some comedy, Rogue Sweet provided some kick-butt cupcakes made with the Iowa Distilling Co.'s whiskey and other local vendors provided snacks, candles, jam and even jewelery for the gift bags. Great event Dischcrawl Des Moines!
To the left are the recipes for the 4 cocktails sampled at the event!
