Straight Up

In the past few days, a couple of our bartenders have received some noteworthy accomplishments. First, Joel Baker has been selected by St. Germain (an elderflower liqueur) to compete with other bartenders in NYC for a grand prize trip to France. Free trip to NYC?...I submit you have already won, my friend! Also, last night Kevin Diedrich came in third place at the monthly cocktail competition at Rye. Competition was extremely stiff, with some of the best in the city showing up to compete. Hats off gentlemen...

Yesterday at 111 Minna, Chartreuse hosted an "Iron-Chef" style cocktail competition. This event was a blast! The bartenders were some of the best SF has to offer. Unlike most other competitions, this was particularly exciting, because all of us had to essentially create our cocktails on the spot. Bourbon&Branch was represented by five present and former bartenders. When the dust settled, H from Elixir took the top spot, Camber Lay from Epic took second, and Steven Liles from Boulevard rounded out the top three. Congratulations to all of you!
