THE BEST MARTINI IN
FAYETTEVILLE GOES TO...
Without a doubt, The Traveling
Bartender has "The Best Martini In
Fayetteville" for 2018 – a creamy
Holiday Magic martini topped
with whipped cream and sprinkles!
The team was crowned with top
honors on Friday, December
7, at the Greater Fayetteville
Chamber's Martinis & Mistletoe,
martini competition. The event
which was presented by Two Men
& A Truck, featured fourteen area
bars and restaurants mixing up
their best martini, for a people's
choice vote. The competition which was in its second staging was hosted at the
Cape Fear Botanical Gardens against the backdrop of holiday lights.
"In addition to competing for the
Bet Martini, our mixologists also
wowed attendees by decorating
their bars – either for the holidays,
or in keeping with the theme of
their martini entry," said Christine
Michaels, Chamber President & CEO.
The Traveling Bartender came out
on top in that competition as well
edging out fierce competition from
other bars like Anstead's Tobacco
Company, Huske Hardware and
Carrabba's Italian Grill.
Michaels who has produced this event
in other areas, was not surprised that
it has become one of the Chamber's
most popular events of the year.
That's beacuse its an opportunity to
treat employees and customers to a
cocktail party where their taste buds
really count! The 2018 competition
also saw amateur bartenders going
head to head. The Fayetteville Young
Professionals' Cranberry Christmas
Crush was voted best amateur martini
while Avon By Asher's bar was voted
best decorated.
Martinis and Mistletoe featured martini
