2. Cast your vote in person! You will receive a token when you check-in at the event that you will use to vote for your favorite Martini. Each participant has a token collection bin at their station. Simply drop your token through the slot to cast your vote. 

When judging think about the taste, creativity/mixology, and presentation/appearance.

Ask yourself these questions while enjoying your Martini:

Taste

Does the cocktail have an aroma and does the aroma enhance the flavor?

Is the cocktail made to finish or would it be too tedious to finish?

Creativity/Mixology

Is this what you expected from these ingredients?

Does the cocktail integrate the ingredients harmoniously?

Is this a cocktail that could become a classic?

Presentation/Appearance

Is the cocktail visually appealing?

Does the name give meaning to the ingredients and/or your experience drinking the cocktail?

Please be safe and drink responsibly.
