- Giacomo Ciminello, Woodburn Brewing, Cincinnati
- Isaac Fox, La Chasse, Louisville
- Jason Stark, Martini Italian Bistro, Louisville
- Mark Corley, The Silver Dollar, Louisville
- Natalie White, Belle's Cocktail House, Lexington
- Oliver Winn, Belle’s Cocktail House, Lexington
The public is invited to judge the eight entries from regional bartenders.
The competition will be from 5:30-7 p.m. March 16 at the Mellwood Arts Center.
Tickets to Festival Unveiled and the cocktail competition cost $45.
