Calling all apple-loving Vancouverites! Please join us for Vancouver’s inaugural Calvados Cocktail Competition.
The most creative competition of the season culminates with six of Vancouver’s elite, behind-the-bar all-stars — Thor Paulson (Wildebeest), William Johnson (L’Abattoir), Julia Diakow (Cuchillo), Martin Correveau (La Pentola), Justin Anello (La Terrazza) and Sean McGuigan (Clough Club) — vying to become the winner of $1,000 cash, a limited bottle of Pere Magloire 20 YO Calvados and of course, coveted bragging rights.
Developed and sponsored by Pere Magloire Fine Calvados and our very own Lauren Mote, each bartender will be tasked to create a unique cocktail inspired by and using the featured spirit, Pere Magloire Fine Calvados. Guests will have the opportunity to sample each competitor’s cocktail and delicious inspired bites from the Uva kitchen.
This competition started on January 15th as an open call to working bartenders to submit a cocktail recipe showcasing one of the world’s most elegant and rare spirits, the apple-based “appellation d’origine contrǒlée” (AOC) regulated brandy from the northern France, “Calvados”. All submitted recipes blind-tasted by Lauren and West Restaurant’s Bar Manager David Wolowidnyk to narrow down the group to the remaining six finalists.
TICKETS
Only a limited number of tickets to the Calvados cocktail competition are available for $30. To purchase tickets via Eventbrite.
