2024 Cocktails & Creatives at Voodoo Brewpub June 9
Bartenders
Grant must be the base of your cocktail
Tao Bitters must be used
Recipes for 1.5 gallons must be turned in no later than May 29
You will get your Grant needs and the bitters on June 9
Recipes must include all your ingredients, including the bitters
On the 9th, you will have the container spigot facing you and you will pour approx 1/2 – 2/3 oz for each taste. DO NOT LET THE GUESTS SERVE THEMSELVES
Bring your own glassware to make the showpiece of the drink. Attendees like to see what a full cocktail looks like. You can also bring photos of it to display.
Arrive by 2 to start your batch and get your station ready
Ask your GMs to sponsor you for the cost of the other ingredients. We want them to have some skin in the game and for your bars to be represented.
Bring bar stuff like coasters, decals, or anything the attendees can take home to remember you by
Artists
The base of your art must be AI
You must submit your base art before any additional work is done to it, like Photoshop, etc
If you layer several pieces of AI art, each layer piece must be submitted
You must turn in your final piece by June 3 so that I can print and frame them.
They must be sized at 13×19 inches at minimum 300dpi
You must tell me if you want a white border or edge-to-edge no border
All printing is done on my Canon Pro-300
As well as the frame, we also provide a simple display stand. Feel free to bring your own if you want something unique.
Arrive by 2 if your collab partner needs assistance
Consider bringing a sample book of all your AI art with a way for attendees to buy prints of your work
Team
Work together to create a theme or story. Attendees will be voting for best overall concept and that prize is $500
Best drink is $250
Best art is $250
Consult each other on cocktail and the art. Artists, sample the cocktails your partner makes. Bartenders, give input for the art. Talk about color and feel. Talk about mood and vibe.
YOU ARE A CREATIVE TEAM. THIS IS MODERN ALCHEMY.
Be prepared to tell attendees how you worked together and what you did to create the concept and the individual pieces – ie. the drink and the art
VIP ticket holders will be admitted 20 minutes prior to GA ticket holders
