*****CONTEST CLOSED*****

Next week’s Radio Room at the Edison Downtown will bring a little bit of Gotham to Los Angeles as Manhattan bar Ward III — an upscale drinking hole known for quality, experimental cocktails — will be featured. The owner and bartenders of Ward III — Michael Neff, Kenneth McCoy and Abdul Tabini — will strut their stuff on the shakers during the popular monthly bar night on Tuesday, July 13.

Here’s their list of cocktails ($14 each) for the evening:

  • Baby Eveline (by Michael Neff): Muddled strawberries, lemon juice, Peychaud bitters, Martini & Rossi Prosecco and vodka of your choice
  • Four Stars (by Michael Neff): Herradura silver tequila, lime juice, muddled rosemary and cilantro, and a dab of Sriracha hot sauce
  • Hell Bent for Leather (by Kenneth McCoy): The Edison?s private bottling of Woodford Reserve bourbon, Irish whiskey, orange & lemon peel and muddled cardamom seed
  • The Collective (by Kenneth McCoy): Dewar?s 12, Martini & Rossi Sweet Vermouth, clover honey, lemon juice, orange bitters and egg whites
  • Angel Zakir (by Abdul Tabini): Martin Miller?s gin, muddled cucumber, basil and lime juice and Aperol
  • Tortuga (by Abdul Tabini): Bacardi 8 rum, muddled lime, orange & lemon with a dusting of shaved cinnamon

OK, now for the part you’ve been waiting for. I’m giving away a VIP night at this Radio Room. This prize package (valued at $250) includes:

  • Free entrance for 4 guests (cover is normally $10)
  • A reserved table for the evening
  • 8 complimentary cocktails tickets so you can sample the entire menu, plus some from Joseph Brooke, the Edison’s director of spirits
