The 5th Annual Buckeye Vodka Battle of the Bartenders is coming up next week, but who do YOU think will WIN?

Who Will Win The Battle? Vote Now!

Vote for your favorite bartender ahead of next weeks "Battle"!
The Buckeye Vodka Battle of the Bartenders is a chance for local bartenders from over a dozen top-notch local restaurants to show off the best of their cocktails.
 
The event will be held next Wednesday, March 7th at Prime Time Party Rentals.  Tickets are just $20 and include appetizers from 18 restaurants, 4 Buckeye Vodka sample cocktails.  Just for fun, there will also be a DJ, velcro wall, mechanical bull, and slides for the adults!
 
But the focus of the event is the battle between the best bartenders and their new concoctions.  The voting to decide which cocktail wins the battle will be done at the event during a blind tasting, but we thought it would be fun to introduce you to some of our local and rather colorful mixologists, and give you a chance to cheer them on!
 
So read on and then VOTE!
Meet your Bartenders!

    Becca @ Archer's Tavern

    Expect a relaxing but sophisticated concoction from Becca at Archer's Tavern. One sip of her new concoction and you'll either be instantly transported to the beach - or the set of Sex And The City!

    Nat @ Basil's on Market

    Seriously, who would have guessed Nat used to be in car sales? Now she's switched her passion for cars to cocktails, peace, positivity, and tranquility is on the menu at Basils. If you can't wait for summer, go see Natalie.

    "Nicky Pots N Pans" Nick @ Coco's Bistro

    "Pots N Pans" drew inspiration from "Pretty Woman" for his mix. Warmth, Love, Lust, Desire, ask Nick about the "ideal setting to sip his new cocktail". His answer was way too risqué for our family website.

    "Team Dewberry" @ Dewberry 1850

    Expect "A refreshing cocktail, perfect for ushering in spring" from the team at Dewberry 1850. But when asked what movie would your cocktail most likely feature in, their answer was an unpredictable, if not slightly startling "Shawshank redemption".

    Louis @ Flyboy's Deli in Beavercreek

    At the end of most days, Louis enjoys unwinding at the bar with a tasty beverage and the company of good people. Louis said his new mix will evoke feelings of ease, relaxation, and comfort. But then he mentioned Korean Action Flicks. Intrigued? Stop by the Flyboys battle station.

    "Purple" Jessica @ JD Legends

    A random job offer got Jessica into bartending, but she's made it her mission in life. A fan of pink starbursts and berry bombs, "Purple" is fired up and feeling confident. Think Heavens to Betsy. Think Harmonious. Chances are you'll love this one.

    Emily "Emmers" @ Lily's Bistro

    Did you know drink menus change seasonally at Lily's? Emmers can't wait to share her new addition - this cocktail is creatively cosmopolitan, and will leave you feeling enlightened!

    Marci @ Mr. Boro's Tavern

    Marci has always been fascinated with all of the different drink combinations and loves making classics and new craft cocktails. Her new creation is both lethal and relaxing, guaranteed to take you to a beach in the Caribbean.

  • Battle of the Bartenders

    "Care Bear" Carolyn @ Meadowlark

    "Care Bear" Carolyn at Meadowlark describes her vocation as "cooking with bottles". Expect the anticipation at the Meadowlark station to be intense, while the excitement of this cocktail will drop you on the set of "Kill Bill"!

  • Battle of the Bartenders

    Lesli @ Roost Restaurants

    Leslie got into bartending for guest interaction, lively social settings, and creative opportunities. Inspired by a recent trip to Italy, her drink is a relaxing mid-day cocktail, perfect for an evening on the Amafli coast.

  • Battle of the Bartenders

    Dustin @ Watermark Restaurant

    If his new cocktail is half as popular as his recent "Winter Spiced Pear Daquiri", Dustin will be one stoked mixologist. This new drink is ideal for the Watermark bar, preferably on Friday night, when live jazz fills the room.

  • Battle of the Bartenders

    Brock @ Wheat Penny

    A cocktail inspired by a captivating portrait of a resplendent Russian beauty. Curiosity got Brock into bartending, and curiosity will have you heading over to Wheat Penny's battle station. You won't be disappointed.
