There is a cocktail contest with Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat whiskey now through February 1^st. No purchase necessary to enter, but if you would like to try the drink, you must stop in! It is called, “The In Fashion”, a spin on the classic cocktail the “Old-Fashioned”, (recipe down below). Only a few local restaurants are participating. Bar and Nightclub magazine, and Southern Wine and Spirits along with Bernheim are sponsoring. It has turned into a “fun” way of competing, and in casting your votes as well.

Texting your vote is how the votes are tallied. When you text, it also enters you a chance to win a dinner for 8 at any of the participating local restaurants. I found that to be a rewarding way of getting the public involved! So, to vote for us, you must text the word “PRIME” to the phone number 82442. You should get a response fairly quickly thanking you for entering, a safety letting you know you did it properly! Happy texting! For a list of participating restaurants, visit: http://inc.ly/PRIME
