Giffard Iron Mixologist Competition


The Iron Mixologist competition will be held on Monday, October 5th 2009 at The Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver.  Over 25 competitors will prepare and present an original cocktail they have created specifically for the event. Each cocktail is required to include Giffard’s Abricot du Roussillon & Charles Meunier Sparkling Wine from Quebec, but competitors are encouraged to be imaginative and innovative when creating their unique drinks.  A panel of six judges consisting of three media members and three Mixologists will be on hand at the event. Result? A fourth place announcement was awarded to General Manager & Mixologist Lauren Mote’s “Beurre d’Abricots” - homemade gingerbeer, grape vermouth, lemon juice, Giffard Abricot du Roussillion, apple butter, and bubble, with Giffard Abricot du Roussillion Doughnuts on the side.
