Countywide distillers and restaurants partner for month-long festival 

–During September the region’s distiller community will prepare for SLO Cocktail Month, an inaugural craft cocktail competition, which will be featured at select restaurants throughout San Luis Obispo County.

Patrons should watch for “SLO Cocktail Month” posters in their favorite eateries to discover each unique beverage that has been created for the competition, and then vote for their favorite libation on www.slococktailmonth.com.

Whether served on fire, over a hand-chiseled ice cube, or with a candied beef jerky garnish, the current craft cocktail rebirth is alive and well at area cocktail bars. Distilleries are popping up throughout the Central Coast to share their variety of unique and small-batch spirits, such as cucumber vodka, 117 proof cask-strength bourbon, and coffee liqueur. A dozen tasting rooms are now part of the Paso Robles Distillery Trail who is putting on this event.

Winners will be announced at the Grand Cocktail Event to cap off the competition at the Paso Robles Fairground on Saturday, Oct. 6. The event includes live music, hors d’oeuvres from participating restaurants, samples of the collaborative craft cocktails, and entertaining bartender demonstrations.
Tickets are available for everyone over 21 years of age on the website.
