Strained

Are you a fan of the TV show Chopped? Do you love mixology? Then Strained is the event for you! Shop Local Bardstown proudly presents Strained, a mixology competition where the contestants do not know what their ingredients will be. The contestants will include some of KY's premier bartenders and mixologists as they battle for the strained championship. Each contestant will receive a mystery basket on the stage at the historic Kreso's Ballroom and have 15 minutes to construct a cocktail for a panel of judges comprised of Industry Professionals and Dignitaries. The competition will be in the form of 3 rounds with a contestant being eliminated each round. The competition will be held on Thursday, Sept 13th at Kreso's Ballroom in downtown Bardstown during the 2018 Bourbon Festival and will be open to the public for viewing. Cocktails will be provided by Kreso's. For more information or for tickets, please contact Kreso's or Shop Local Bardstown! Spectator Tickets will be $10 at the door, with $5 of every ticket sold going to benefit the Bourbon City Park Park! Come out, have a great time, and help support a great cause!
