CHOW's Square Off Cocktail Competition September 25, 2007

Cocktail aficionados around the country eagerly await the inaugural Square Off cocktail competition co-hosted by CHOW.com and Om Organics this fall.



Two of the nation’s foremost cocktailians - an amateur and a professional - will vie to create the most delicious culinary cocktail from seasonal, organic ingredients.



CHOW has selected Square One® Organic Vodka as the featured spirit for its Square Off. It invites amateur and professional liquid chefs to submit their recipes on CHOW.com using Square One and other organic ingredients.



Submissions must be an original recipe for a pitcher cocktail using Square One and at least 75 percent organic ingredients by volume. At the Square Off finals, two winners—an amateur and a professional—will face two challenges: develop one cocktail using ingredients culled from the Farmers Market at the Ferry Building that day and another based on a mystery seasonal, organic ingredient. The judges’ verdicts on all three drinks will determine the Square Off winner.
