One of 2012’s most fiercely contested and fun competitions the El Dorado Swizzle Competition is back, with the first prize a trip to Guyana.
Last year saw the judges travel across the UK to a series of heats and try some truly superb drinks before an epic final at Trailer Happiness saw Oxford’s Alex Proudfoot take out the title and fulfill a long held ambition of licking an El Dorado Still.
Entering this competition is simple. Come up with a competition winning Swizzle, fill out the form below, get selected for a local heat, promote the drink in your bar, win your heat, win the final, get on the plane to Guyana.
It is important to note that the Swizzle recipes MUST contain the following elements – El Dorado Rum, something sweet, something bitter, something sour and something non-alcoholic before being swizzled. The rest is up to you.
