HOW IT WORKS:
Six amazing local femme-identifying bartenders are facing off in our 3rd annual ANXO Women’s Month Cocktail Competition. This year, contestants were asked to create a cocktail utilizing one of our featured femme-owned / operated spirits that is inspired by a song of their choice by any femme-identifying artist.
THIS YEAR’S FEATURED PRODUCERS ARE:
APPLETON ESTATE ………………………………………. Victoria Moreno
CAPITOLINE …………………………………………………. Rita Kirkpatrick
CATOCTIN CREEK ………………………………………….. Dawn Williams
MACCHU PISCO ………………………………………………… Monica Lee
REPUBLIC RESTORATIVES ……………………………. Dhiandra Olson
REPUBLIC RESTORATIVES …………………………….. Jessie Marrero
SCORING:
There are two ways to make your vote count in judging this year’s competition:
First, you can purchase one of our ANXO Women’s Month Cocktail Boxes containing all six of the drinks in convenient 8oz sealed to-go bottles. Each bottle contains two portions of each cocktail and comes with a QR code link to vote for your favorite drink.
Second, you can try all of the cocktails in-person at ANXO Brightwood during the month of march by ordering the drinks a-la-carte, or in the form of two separate three mini-cocktail flights.
Votes will only make up 50% of the scoring in this year’s competition. The remaining 50% of the vote will be determined by the totals of dine-in & to-go sales of a-la-carte cocktails.
