Vote on one of the Semi-Finalists below to compete in the Grand Finale of Manhattan's Manhattan Cocktail Competition, presented by Great Jones and VinePair! Contestants were invited to celebrate all that New York has to offer, by creating their twist on a Manhattan cocktail using Great Jones Whiskey, to celebrate Manhattan's first and only whiskey distillery since prohibition.
Visit The Bar at Great Jones Distillery for "Manhattan Hour" throughout the month of October to try featured mini flights of the semi-finalists' cocktails and vote on your favorite. Manhattan Hour takes place at The Bar at Great Jones Distillery (686 Broadway, New York, NY), each Tuesday through Thursday night from 7pm - 9pm, beginning on October 7th.
On October 31st, we will announce the People's Choice and the four other talented Finalists to move forward to the last round of the competition.
