Skoflanc was nominated for his cocktail, Saff-Ron Burgundy.

“I wanted to make a sophisticated, yet fun drink that incorporated the flo ral aroma and delicate finish of the Chopin Wheat to mingle with the earthy, complex, yet sweeter notes of the saffron and honey. I felt that the caramel notes of the Chopin Wheat would really play well with lemon, honey, and a fuller mouthfeel due to the egg white in the cocktail. This is a drink that really makes a statement that vodka can be paired with many complex flavors and still come through as a participant in the cocktail rather than simply just a “mixer,’” read Skoflanc’s submission.

Bartenders from across the country submitted their cocktails and 15 were selected as finalists.

From those finalists, the judges will choose one 1st place winner and one 2nd place winner per style of vodka — potato, rye, and wheat. Three 1st Place winners will receive $1,500 each. Three 2nd Place winners will receive $500 each.
