In March, we attended a VERY fun Four Roses charity cocktail challenge, where San Francisco bartenders competed to win the title of best of the best. The event raised $300 for the San Francisco Food Bank.
Master bartender Eric Rickey from %ABV was recently named the San Francisco finalist in the Four Roses Charity Cocktail Challenge, with his Dead Italian Cocktail. Eric will compete with bartenders from 7 other cities for a chance to spend a day with Four Roses’ Master Distiller Jim Rutledge. You can vote on the winner by visiting the Four Roses Facebook page, watching each mixologist’s video and selecting your favorite.
