Wyoming Whiskey's Bartender Shootout

This afternoon Wyoming Whiskey will announce their bartender contest in Wyoming, the Bartender Shootout. Participants will be required to create 6 glasses of their signature cocktail recipe using Wyoming Whiskey as the base. Rules include such criteria as "no shots" and "no fishbowls", which we agree with, though we're less excited by "no flames or fires."

At stake is a State Championship and $2,500, plus the title of Wyoming’s burliest, surliest, and best bartender. An additional reward of $500 will go to the bar who turns over the winning bartender. If you’re a Wyoming bartender, check it out.

If you’re an enthusiastic spectator who likes micro-distilleries, craft spirits, and cocktails, you can weigh in at one of the events.  Check their site at wyomingwhiskey.com/shootout for the Regional and State Championship locations, which will be announced in late October.
