(PRWEB) December 30, 2004 -- Belvedere Vodka believes in the art of mixing the perfect cocktail. To celebrate the skill, creativity and artistry that is changing bartenders into bar chefs, Belvedere is inviting bartenders in New York City, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami and Fort Lauderdale to showcase their talent in the Belvedere Bartenders Bash challenge. Mixologists are encouraged to submit their most creative recipe using either Belvedere Vodka, Belvedere Cytrus Vodka or Belvedere PomaraDcza Vodka as its base. To separate these perfect potables from your run-of-the-mill cocktails, Belvedere welcomes the use of natural and fresh ingredients that are seasonally or regionally available.

Six finalists will win a trip to the South Beach Wine & Food Festival where they will shake up their best Belvedere cocktail to win the $5,000 cash prize and trophy at the Belvedere Bartenders Bash, the official closing party of the festival. The Belvedere Bartenders Bash will take place poolside at The Shore Club in South Beach, Miami on February 27, 2005.

Bartenders should submit their original Belvedere Cocktail Recipe by Wednesday, January 5, 2005 via:
