MYOCtail Night #3

Sara and John in the most important battle of their young and painfully ill-advised bartending careers. 
In the third Make Your Own Cocktail Night, seven contestants squared off in a duel to the drunk. Special guest filmographer @peter_windowseat presiding. Video is currently in production get hype!

Jason crafting his cocktail with laser-focus.
The drinks encompassed a wide MYOCtail record-setting range of flavours and styles. From classic drinks, to takes on classic drinks, to homemade ingredients and infusions, to savoury entries, to the dreaded heavyweight: Chinese Baijiu. Thank you so much everyone for contributing and for putting enough thought into their drinks to not make it a terrible joke!

"Walnut Old Fashioned"
Woodford Reserve bourbon, demerara sugar, maple syrup, walnut bitters, orange

The votes are tallied up via bottle caps because what other post-nuclear Fallout currency would we be using for an alcoholic contest?

The people have spoken. Drinks and proxy drinks at various levels of drunk.
