3rd Annual Perdido Key Martini Festival

11/07/2009

1:00pm-5:00pm. There’s probably no other beverage that commands the reputation for prestige, elegance, class, or panache, as the Martini. This tasty and classic concoction has an air of mystery and attraction, and will be showcased in an upscale event like no other. Grey Goose, Three Olives and Premier Beverage have once again put together a “do not miss” one day only event located in the Villagio on Perdido Key. With an estimated 24 booths to visit with an all-inclusive sample of premium spirits and martinis the crowds will have plenty to do. Along with the opportunity to purchase bottles at some serious savings there will be local art and craft vendors, food, and door prizes. The most anticipated part of the day will be “The 2009 Gulf Coast Bartender Showdown” at 2:30 p.m. From across the Coast, Bars and Restaurants will enter bartenders to compete for cash, trophies, prizes and the all important bragging rights in a chance to see who can prepare the BEST Martini on the Gulf Coast. Ticket proceeds benefit several local charities.
