This will be a fun event for everyone. Located in our historic Grant Building, Coastal Bend Distilling staff will serve Bloody Marys, Screwdrivers and other “brunch” drinks from our mobile bar. Breakfast tacos will be available for purchase. Walk around and observe the contestants, sample and vote on your favorite drink entries, or just relax and enjoy the live music! We are family friendly and allow children on our premises (just no drinking until they’re 21!) or enjoy some fresh air and yard games in our grass area outside.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enter?
Submit your registration at coastalbenddistillingco.com/bloody-mary-contest and follow the steps we provide for you over there.
What category do I enter?
You can enter the Amateur category if you just like making Bloody Marys for fun or if you’ve been out of the cocktail industry for a while. If you’re a bartender or make cocktails as a part of your job, you probably have lots of experience so we recommend the Professional category for you. But anyone can join any category they want to!
How much is it to enter?
$20 entry fee. That includes your setup, a bottle of vodka and a complimentary event t-shirt.
How much time do I have to make my drink?
You have thirty minutes to make your drink.
What do I have to bring?
You will need to bring your bloody mary mix, any garnish, any tools you’ll need and storage for your food or equipment. We recommend about 2-3 gallons of mix, but you can see more precise measurements in the rules above.
Why can’t I bring outside liquor?
Unfortunately our TABC license prohibits alcohol on our premise that we don’t make ourselves. We’re sure other liquor products would add depth to your drink, but we believe you can be creative around that!
I don’t want to compete. Can I still come to watch?
Absolutely! This event is open to the public for free. In fact we’ll have food, drinks, merchandise and live music available for all to enjoy.
I want to vote for the people’s choice award. How do I do that?
You can purchase tickets at the front of the Grant Building on the day of the event. $10 will get you 10 tasting tickets you can turn in to try samples from the contestants, and 3 voting tickets to submit to your favorites to vote for them.
I can’t participate this year. Will there be another one?
Yes! We plan to have this contest every year. Stay tuned by following the distillery on social media or sign up for our email newsletter.
