FNCTN and Tahoe Blue Vodka’s Triple Crown of Bartending competitions continue on Sunday, July 26th at Steamers Bar & Grill from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

“The 4th Annual Bloody Mary Competition was well attended and lot of fun. Turn 3 took home the judges choice after a tie-breaker round and Cold Water Brewery was awarded the peoples choice,“ said Matt Levitt of Tahoe Blue Vodka. “I am looking forward to seeing what kind of flair the bartenders are bringing this time around.”

Sunday's competition will be for speed, style and flair, much like Tom Cruise in Cocktail. The skills of South Lake Tahoe’s top bartenders will be put to the test while raising money to Keep Tahoe Blue. Judges will determine which bartender provides the best performance based on speed, style & flair. Meanwhile, event attendees will vote for their favorite cocktails based on overall taste and presentation.

In addition to live outdoor music from Black Star Safari, guests can taste a variety of custom-made Tahoe Blue Vodka cocktails as some of your favorite bartenders show off their flair with chances to win great prizes from a charity raffle benefiting The League to Save Lake Tahoe. The event is free and open to all ages, with $10 tastings of 10 samples for attendees 21 and over.

The event series concludes with the Cocktail Concoctions Competition with surprise ingredients and live music from Big Sticky Mess on Sunday, August 23. There is a $500 purse up for grabs for each event. To sign up for one of the limited bartending spots contact FNCTN via info@FNCTNmusic.com.
