Tales of the Cocktail in partnership with Culinary Concierge Magazine, Tasting Panel Magazine and CocktailTimes.com invite you to submit a winning recipe for the Official Cocktail Competition of the 8th Annual Tales of the Cocktail.
For our eighth anniversary, we are punching things up with our annual cocktail competition. If you think your skills are up to the challenge, we would like you to create a Planter’s Punch that we can use as our official cocktail at this year’s event.
Almost every famous Tiki drink is based on the Planter’s Punch. The Zombie is a turbo- charged Planter’s, while the Mai Tai simply adds Curacao and Orgeat to the classic Planter’s formula of rum, lime, and sugar. For the 2010 Tales of the Cocktail official cocktail competition, we invite you to create an original Tiki drink using the Planter’s Punch formula as your template.

and did you know that Trader Tiki’s Exotic Syrups are a sponsor and one of the “must feature” products?
I’m not saying using them is an automated win, but great ingredients make great drinks!
