this highly anticipated Mer-tini Shakedown Competition is a friendly - yet fierce - contest among local mixologists that shake it up the final week of Mermaid SPLASH! Dripping Springs Vodka sponsors this high-spirited event to create the best Mermaid-inspired Martini or Mer-tini using gin or vodka. Two teams of judges will travel from site to site, sipping the tasty and creative concoctions while taking careful notes on the distinctive characteristics of the competing cocktails to determine a favorite. The public also participates by picking “ The People’s Choice”. The evening ends with two semi-finalists who will go to the Shakedown Finals held on the rooftop of the Meadows Center during the Mermaid Society Art Ball on Friday September 21st. This competition is scored on taste, presentation and creativity with extra points earned from mer-inspired flare and fanfare. Three awards are bestowed upon the 1st place, 2nd place and People's Choice winners. Besides bragging rights, the 1st place winner receives an original trophy (designed by a different local artist every year), and a $300 cash award. 2nd Place winner receives a $200 cash prize. Join us this September when the competition escalates; because this year there will be 16 cocktail masters, representing some of San Marcos’ best eating and drinking establishments and battling for the win!
