Win tickets to the Signature Cocktail Contest
Lake Tahoe News is giving away two tickets to Barton Foundation’s Signature Cocktail Contest.
The Sept. 13 event is from 5:30-8pm at Riva Grill in South Lake Tahoe. Ten bartenders will compete for the best drink of the night as a fundraiser for Barton Health Foundation.

If you don’t win, tickets are $25 each in advance or $30 at the door.
Participating bars-restaurants are Cantina, Edgewood, Embassy, Heavenly, Lakeside, LewMarNels, Naked Fish, Riva, MontBleu, Fox & Hound.
To win the tickets, you must either submit a recipe (via a comment) using vodka or tell us about your favorite vodka drink. The other criterion is that you must be part of Lake Tahoe News’ special NEWS team. To be a team member, fill out the paid subscriber form. The winner must be willing to have their full name published. Winners will be announced the week of the event.
Why is a hospital promoting such an event? Seems counter intuitive. Should they not be advocating the avoidance of alcohol as part of a healthy lifestlye?
A long time ago I did some experimenting with vodka drinks, for two huge punchbowls at a family affair. It was a tossup as to which was better, of the two recipes I came up with, one had a lot of fresh grapefruit juice; but the one below was the favorite:
1 part each vodka, orange juice, and cherry brandy.
Does having and wearing my Lake Tahoe News T-shirt give me a better chance for two tickets? :-)
