Past Events
The Sortilège Cup
Nons Drinks and the BC Hospitality EXPO are pleased to announce the dates of the 2009 Sortilège Cup competition for professional mixologists. The Gentlemen’s Competition will be held on Monday, November 23 2009, and the Ladies’ Competition will take place a day later. Both events will be held at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Hosted by the BC Hospitality EXPO, the Sortilège Cup is an exciting opportunity for local mixologists to compete with their peers to create an original drink featuring Sortilège maple liqueur. Each event will include six to eight mixologists, who will prepare original cocktails that include Sortilège, a unique blend of maple syrup and Canadian whisky. The drinks will be judged by a committee including two media judges, two mixologists, and two head judges. The winner of each day’s competition will be awarded a trip to Montreal in summer 2010 to visit the Sortilège plant. Results? A silver medal was awarded to General Manager & Mixologist Lauren Mote’s “Feu de Camp” - maple syrup roasted butterut squash puree, with madiera, sortilege maple whiskey, jack daniel’s tennessee whiskey, lemon juice, housemade bitters and locally made honey “mead” wine, served with a side of “Campfire in a Pot” with torched to-order torced ingredients, and smoked taro chips.
