USBG 75th Diamond Jubilee Conference & Gala

to Aug 16

USBG 75th Diamond Jubilee Conference & Gala

The USBG is turning 75 and it’s time to celebrate, in style! The current USBG offers its three branches offer education, networking and competitions, as well as a charity arm focused on bartender wellness programs and relief funds, and an accreditation program going up to Master Mixologist. The USBG provides members with an instant network when they relocate to a new city or state, and its presence helps with the overall public perception of those who tend to view bartending as a college or in-between-jobs gig rather than the honed craft and lifelong profession that it is for many.

Cheers to another 75 years!

Deep Eddy Cocktail Challenge Online

to Jun 9

Deep Eddy Cocktail Challenge Online

THE CHALLENGE

The Craft Cocktail renaissance has raised the standards of technique and ingredients for drink making. It has produced innovations, talents, and recipes that have elevated the industry. With the focus on raising the craft, however, one aspect of cocktail culture often gets forgotten: this is supposed to be fun. Cocktails are for nights out with your friends; they’re for celebrations; they're for vacations. Deep Eddy Vodka believes that fun and innovation are not mutually exclusive: that you can be serious about the craft without taking it too seriously.

Deep Eddy Vodka is a brand committed to quality and good times. These dual commitments inspired the Craft the Fun competition. We want to see cocktails that are equal parts delicious, innovative, and fun.

You will be asked to create a cocktail recipe featuring Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka. This cocktail should be balanced, delicious, creative, exciting, and of course, FUN! It should embody a good time, be it at a backyard hang or relaxing on the beach.

Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka starts with the base of the award-winning Deep Eddy 80-proof vodka, real grapefruit juice, and is lightly sweetened with pure cane sugar for a deliciously tart, refreshing taste.
