Bartenders at Rathbun’s restaurants will compete to create cocktails using Tequila Ambhar’s platinum, reposado, or anejo tequilas; the winning blend will be chosen by mixologist, Marcelo Nascimento and featured at Rathbun’s restaurants throughout April with an overall winner to be picked at an end-of-the-month party.
