Bartenders in NSW and Victoria have been offered the chance to attend one of Carlos Santana’s upcoming concerts, and meet the legend in person.
The incentive is being run by Casa Noble tequila – partly owned by Carlos Santana – and the brand's local distributor, Republic Beverages.
To be in the running for the prize, bartenders need to come up with a drink that contains at least 30ml of Casa Noble, using tequila and music as their inspiration, and promote the drink in their venue until April 4.
Drinks will be judged on a range of factors including creativity, innovation, technique, flavour combination and also the way that Casa Noble is highlighted within the cocktail.
To enter, email a copy of your drink recipe and a photo of it, as well as details on how it will be promoted in your venue, to casanoblecomp@gmail.com by March 4.
The first prize (one for each state) includes two tickets to a Santana concert and a one hour meet and greet session before the show, along with a bottle each of Casa Noble Crystal, Reposado and Añejo.
The runner-up in each state will receive a bottle each of Casa Noble Reposado and Añejo, while the third place in each state will take home a bottle of Casa Noble Crystal.
