LOCAL MIXOLOGISTS BATTLE TO CREATE BEST GUINNESS COCKTAIL AT HYDE BELLAGIO THURSDAY, MARCH 14
Strip-Side Hot Spot Transforms into ‘Rock ‘N Brew Acoustic Lounge’ for Special Edition of ‘Live Music Thursdays’
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.
