Gotta?Go
2960 S. Keystone Ave.
Indianapolis, IN 46203
Attn: 2013 Valentine's Cocktails ~ Elizabeth J.?Musgrave/Infused

?

Include (in order and completely) the following information:?
?

1) Cocktail's themed name
2) Bar/company/restaurant/mixologist/winery name and location
3) Website and Twitter handle so readers can check you out!
4) Recipe, including measurements, garnish and glassware
5) Inspiration for drink-obviously Valentine's, but what exactly inspired you to make this particular drink?
6) Image-Please make sure it is a good quality.
?

This is open to anyone within the spirits/wine/beer/restaurant realm including?mixologists, bars, fine dining, bartenders, sommeliers, hotels, companies, spirit entrepreneurs, et cetera. The idea is to feature cocktails inspired by Valentine's Day and all the romantic feelings about the holiday. Let your imagination run wild with this one...it can go many directions: Candy hearts, chocolates, Cupid, roses, romance, lace, romantic movies or songs...you get the idea!

***Special Note***

Several cocktails were disqualified?for the last Top 10 cocktail lists due to the drink name and/or inspiration missing or not applicable to the theme. Let's see your best THEMED drink! Sending in a cocktail with a non-themed name and/or inspiration will make it on the naughty list and won't make it on the nice list.

(Ex. sending a chocolate martini with the liqueur brand as the name or stating it is inspired by your love of chocolate has nothing to do with Valentine's Day. However, a chocolate martini with a heart-shape floating in it ~ named and inspired by Godiva chocolates ~ would work....)
