The Finals! 3 weeks of Mixology Madness and we are up to a showdown between the burbs and the D. Chris v. Travis in a throwdown showdown. This week will determine the winner of the first ever Mixology Madness. Please review all the cocktails they have presented and make your vote based on creativity, presentation and taste (if you can).

The voting isn’t a perfect system. I’m sure there are ways to throw the vote. We would encourage everyone to play fair. You are allowed one vote per person per challenge per week. Voting will close Monday at midnight. While voters don’t win anything, the grand champion will win a gift basket of booze and swag provided by the following Michigan Spirit Companies: Black Star Farms, Civilized Spirits, Journeyman Distillery, & Valentine Vodka. Please check out their products. More to come on a future post.
