The Colorado Cocktail Project, with its mission to create the official Colorado Cocktail, will celebrate this state’s most liquid assets at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Sunday and Monday, June 26-27. On Sunday, Colorado distillers will be at the MCA to pour their products, while learned lecturers talk about cocktail culture. We’ve already profiled many of the bartenders who submitted recipes for the contest; the ten finalists will pour out their hearts — and drinks — in a head-to-head competition on June 27.
And those finalists (and the bars where you can taste their drinks) are:
Avenue Grill, Marnie Ward: “Tree Line”
Colt & Gray, Kevin Burke: “Colorado Daschund”
When news happens, Westword is there —
