The largest and most extravagant mixology event will be held on May 25th at The Everleigh, located at 580 King Street West, from 6 to 10 pm. Tickets are $95 and available at www.enjoyMadeWithLove.com.
Cocktails will be judged on the criteria of originality, creativity and taste with People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice winners. Judges will look for passion, expert knowledge, distinct ingredients and how competitors incorporate these elements in unique and delicious ways into their cocktails.
