Are you ready, Halifax? MadeWithLove™ National Mixology Competition is back in town Monday, October 15th, 2012 at The Halifax Club

HALIFAX, Oct. 1, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - Taboo Nightclub was the stage for the qualifiers on August 27^th, where fourteen of Halifax's most talented mixologists competed in an assiduous live to air competition. They were given a black box of mystery ingredients, with a choice of one of the sponsored spirits and with an intense 10 minute time limit they devised their inventive and inspired cocktails. We've chosen the competitors, now it's up to you to decide which one of these 13 phenomenal mixologists is your favourite! A People's Choice vote at the main event on Monday, October 15^th at The Halifax Club will decide who wins one of two sought after titles, and all that comes with it.

For the Public's Choice, ticketholders will be given thirteen exclusive tastings of each innovative cocktail, and vote for their favourite.  The Judge's Choice winner will be decided by a notable panel of judges, and based on originality, presentation and taste.  Each winner will receive an all-expense-paid, three-day trip to Montreal, where they will showcase their talent, and an all-new drink at MadeWithLove™ Montreal to be held in December 2012.
