If you are a recreational mixologist, they you dont you think of going for Charleston Contest for Cocktail Creatives, organized by Circa 1886 restaurant. The very famous Charleston Christmas Cocktail Contest for cocktail creatives will be held in Charleston where each participant will make a drink by blending any of the Charleston-inspired flavors with a holiday cocktail. Subsequently you may get the lucky chance to boast of winning, in addition to a dinner for four at the true Charleston fine dining restaurant. (Excluding the tip and alcohol, so if you order the drink that you created, you would pay for the same.)

Charleston contest is the third in a series of competitions organized by the restaurant during the summertime. Previous contests included making a Charleston-inspired ice cream. The winner presented "seersucker", which was an assortment of a Charleston chew candy, peanuts, vanilla ice cream and blueberries. The second one was a Christmas cookie making contest where the winner had submitted a cookie in Palmetto tree shape decorated with pecans, sesame seeds and rice flour. Sweet tea glaze served to be the topping of the cookie.

Christmas may not be approaching, but the competition’s deadline is. Hence, present your ideas on the website of the restaurant (www.circa1886.com) from July 6th-31st. The winners will be announced in early August. (picture credits: http://scavenging.files.wordpress.com)
