Details On the Rathbun Cocktail Showdown

A while back, we told you about a certain cocktail contest going on at all of the Rathbun restaurants. Throughout April, bartenders at Abacus, Jasper’s, Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen, Zea WoodFire Grill, and Shinsei have been squaring off in a tequila-based cocktail contest. It’s finally time for the winners to compete for the grand prize. On Sunday, May 1, from 3 – 5:30 p.m, the shaken and the stirred will duke it out at Kent Rathbun’s Party Room at The Heights at Park Lane. Here’s a preview of the drinks and dishes:
