The purpose of this competition is to select Nanaimo's "Official" MARINE FESTIVAL COCKTAIL and to recognize Nanaimo's best Mixologist (don't look it up in the dictionary it's not there) or Bartender if you prefer and the establishment he or she works at. The purpose is also to have a lot of fun and get more people from the hospitality industry involved as well as having a unique cocktail for the MARINE FESTIVAL.

The contest is open to any establishment that has a liquor license and more that one bartender can enter from any establishment with the entry fee which is $10.00. A panel of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 Judges will taste each entry and judge the creation on TASTE (maximum 30 points), PRESENTATION (maximum 10 points) and EASE OF SERVICE (maximum of 10 points). The entry can have no more that 2 ounces of alcohol and use Bacardi Razz as one of the ingredients with others being of the common cocktail variety with creative skills up to the mixologist.

The winning entry will be named the Official "BACARDI TUBBING TIME TONIC" and tent cards will be made up acknowledging the Mixologist and his place of employment along with the recipe and will be distributed throughout licensed establishments for the summer time and MARINE FESTIVAL MONTH. Date of the event and location will be distributed to all licensed establishments in Nanaimo, Cedar, Cassidy and Lantzville. Following are the rules for the competition.
