Merryvale Antigua Cocktail Competition

This unique event, showcasing the versatility of dessert wine in cocktails, will benefit PROMO, Missouri’s LGBTQ+ public policy and advocacy organization. The competition, sponsored by Merryvale Vineyards and hosted by Maxi Glamour (St. Louis multidisciplinary drag and queer artist as well as local elected official), will feature the top five cocktail creations, chosen from submissions. These talented local bartenders will go head-to-head in a live finale, crafting innovative cocktails using Merryvale Antigua dessert wine. A panel of expert judges will evaluate the drinks based on creativity, balance, approachability, and overall taste.
