Victoria Gin Shook Down!

Yesterday afternoon, Boneta Restaurant shook with Gin Fever as 16 competitors vyed for top spot and to be the creator of the official Victoria Gin cocktail. It was intense.

JT from Market threw flames, Kerran and JS sabered in true Bearfoot style, Cin Cin's Colin planted an urban garden, and with names like "Clearly the Heir" (David Wolowydnik), the "Buckingham Cocktail" (Shaun Layton) and the "Victoria of Eden" the Commonwealth spirit was certainly present.

Wendy McGuinness (Chambar) will find her name and cocktail all over BC as she won the Shake Down and will be featured on the necks of all the Vic Gin bottles leaving the distillery in November. Her combination of Vic Gin and Oloroso sherry was a great segway into autumn. Lauren Mote (The Refinery) and David Wolowydnik (West) tied for 2nd place.

Congratulations to everyone!

Will post pictures, videos, recipes and the stories of inspiration later today.
