Do you have what it takes to enter the Mionetto Cocktail Challenge

@MionettoProseccoUSA

Looking to be featured in Food & Wine for your cocktail mixing skills? While your friends may call your signature drink a classic, now is your chance to see what you're really made of by entering the second annual ‘Mionetto Cocktail Challenge.’

In collaboration with Food & Wine, Mionetto Prosecco USA announces the call for submissions for contestants across the country to submit an original Mionetto sparkling cocktail recipe into one of two groups: bartending professionals and consumers (intended for the general public).

After narrowing down the submissions, the top three finalists in each category will be invited to a special mix-off event at the Food & Wine test kitchen in New York City. The professional champion will be featured in Food & Wine and the consumer champion will receive a trip for two to Italy to visit the land of Prosecco. Finalists will be determined by Justin Noel, top NYC-based mixologist, Food & Wine editor, and Enore Ceola, managing director and CEO of Mionetto USA.

““This is a passion project of mine and I am truly honored to be involved in the search for the best Prosecco cocktail recipes from across the U.S. These contestants share our passion for Mionetto and crafting high-quality Prosecco and sparkling cocktails.” Prosecco can bring to a cocktail,””

What To Drink

News on what to drink, what's trending in wine, beer, and cocktails.

The inaugural challenge in 2016 received over 600 entries, but ultimately two cocktails reigned supreme. On the consumer level, Dassy Pawlik from Buffalo, New York won with her inspired recipe, “Pompelmo Spruzzo,” which took Mionetto’s Brut Prosecco to another level. Meanwhile, the professional winner Patti Scarf from Kalamazoo, Michigan took a refreshing approach with the “Cucumber Fizz,” pairing the flagship Mionetto Prosecco Brut with cucumber, gin, and simple syrup.
