Win a trip to Bourg Charente and a VIP night in Paris with the Grand Marnier Sunset Hours Parisian Chic Competition
Grand Marnier’s Le Grand Bal was one of last year’s highlights, so we are looking forward to their latest project, the Sunset Hours Parisian Chic Competition.
Essentially, Grand Marnier want you to come up with a summer drink based on Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge.
You will join the team for a day to discover more about the history and production of the liqueur during a session led by Julien Lafond, UK Brand Ambassador, and sample the different cuvees and cocktails that Grand Marnier offers.
This Session will be followed by the Grand Marnier Sharing Drinks Competition, during which bartenders will be asked to demonstrate their skill by creating a sharing drink/long drink featuring Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge.
The Winners from each heat (Edinburgh, Manchester, London East, London West and Bristol) will go to the final in London to find out who will be crowned the Grand Marnier Sharing Drink Competition 2012 grand winner.
