On Thursday, March 14, talented local
mixologists will vie for the title of “Guinness Cocktail Champion” at Hyde
Bellagio as they stir, shake and mix original cocktail recipes using one
requisite ingredient: Guinness.
For
one week only during “Live Music Thursdays,” Hyde welcomes
CocktailCityVegas.com for a special Rock ‘N Brew Acoustic Lounge featuring the
soulful sounds of American Idol contestant Mahi Crabbe.
Beginning
at 8 p.m., guests are invited to sip and sample the brew-infused libations
hand-crafted by five standout Las Vegas mixologists. Just in time for St.
Patty’s Day, the competition will challenge contenders to incorporate Ireland’s
favorite stout beer into their recipes as they try their hand at the popular
beer-cocktail mixology trend.
At 9
p.m., a panel of beverage experts will judge the cocktails on creativity,
execution and craftsmanship, naming one contender Las Vegas’ own “Guinness
Cocktail Champion.” In addition to the coveted title, the winner will receive
an all-expenses-paid VIP night out on the town with the Guinness Girls.
Judges
include Sabrina Chapman, Las Vegas Weekly’s resident cocktail aficionada;
Andrew Pollard, beverage development specialist for Wirtz Beverage of Nevada
and vice president of the United States Bartenders Guild of Las Vegas; and Ray
Cheetany, Diageo distributor manager of Nevada.
