On Thursday, December 4, Nashville Lifestyles hosted its inaugural Bartender Bash: Holiday Edition competition at The Union Station Nashville Yards.
Attendees sampled a variety of Old Dominick craft cocktails created by local Nashville bartenders. All competing cocktails were made with Old Dominick Memphis Vodka or The Original Toddy Bourbon. The Union Station Nashville Yards served a festive charcuterie board featuring an artful spread of cheeses, grapes, berries, olives, crackers, jams, and more. Throughout the evening, attendees cast their ballots and voted for their favorite vodka and bourbon craft cocktails. Sayre Key-Towne with Mother's Ruin crafted the 3 Wise Guys cocktail and won best Old Dominick vodka cocktail, while Nora Ryan with Lowbar made the Rebecca's Choice cocktail to win runner up for Old Dominick vodka cocktail.
