WildGins Summer Cocktail Competition 2026
CALLING ALL TEXAS BARTENDERS WITH A HANKERING FOR THE WILD!
If you always wanted to visit the Davis Mountains in West Texas, try your hand at juniper foraging, and meet other amazing mixologists, then we've got a summer contest for you.
We are treating the creators of the top 10 selling WildGins cocktails from June 15th through September 15th to an all-expense paid trip to the Davis Mountains for a 3-day foraging trip from Sept 27th - Sept. 29th (Sunday through Tuesday). We'll pay for your transport, food, and lodging- and we plan to have an absolutely wild time. Note that the lodging will be rustic, with some of us camping, sleeping on the deck, and a few sleeping inside a very cool dome. All of us will have access to the stunning night sky (same skies that the McDonald's observatory views), and you'll get to forage for Alligator junipers by day. Those are the precious gems we use in our WildBark West Texas Dry Gin.
How do you enter this contest?
It's easy. If you work at a bar or restaurant that carries either WildJune Western Style and/or WildBark West Texas Dry Gin, and you created a cocktail featuring one of these beauties and it's on the menu, then please let us know about it by submitting the following information. We'll track the quantities sold at your establishment by yDrinks or working with your manager. We'll announce the winners by September 17th, and the lucky 10 will be heading to the mountains on Sunday, Sept. 27th.
[NOTE: You can enter at ANY time during the summer up until Aug. 31st...we can track volume sold retroactively...]
