San Francisco, CA — The city’s top bartenders gathered at the Fairmont Hotel tonight to compete in the Bay Area’s Annual Cocktail Contest. Mixologists showcased their creativity with unique concoctions featuring locally sourced ingredients.
This year’s winner, Golden Hour, a gin-based cocktail infused with citrus and lavender, was crafted by bartender Lena Tran of Mission District’s The Velvet Lounge.
Proceeds from the event will support local hospitality workers and culinary arts programs.
