Inspired by the Chicago Reader series in which bartenders challenge one another to make drinks with off chosen ingredients, the Fall Cocktail Challenge pitted 20 mixologists against one another to create the most interesting/delicious fall cocktail. Music was provided by DJ De La Chappelle and it only took 2 hours for people to go from fancy to slurry. Congratulations to the homie Jessica Tessendorf from The Barrelhouse Flat on taking home the prize!
