Are you the resident mixologist in your house?

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a mover and a (cocktail) shaker, a local distillery wants to hear from you.

Rebel City, the boutique distillery based in Cork’s historic Docklands, has launched a nationwide Maharani Gin mixology competition to support and celebrate the bar trade fully reopening in 2022.

The theme of the competition is ‘Rebel: going against the grain, the revolutionary and the rebellious’ and the winning concoction will receive a prize of a €500 One-for-All voucher.

To enter, simply email the inspiration behind your cocktail and how it captures the concept, along with the ingredients and method for your creation and some photos or videos to [email protected] before Monday April 11th, 2022.

The main ingredient must be the brand’s multi-award-winning gin, which is zested with pomelo fruit and uniquely spiced with cassia and nutmeg-mace, all sourced from a women’s organic farming co-operative in Kerala, India.

“Tag and follow Rebel City Distillery – @rebelcitydistillery on your Instagram grid and stories with the hashtag #MaharaniMixologyCompetition22 and share your creations, feel free to add a video clip of your irresistible cocktail to encourage people to make your signature rebel cocktail.” said a spokesperson for the brand.

The Maharani Gin team will pick the winning cocktail and feature their favourite entries on the Rebel City social and website.
