Newly launched distributor, The Pisco People, has launched a cocktail competition open to bartenders this week, giving away the chance to win a trip to Peru.

To win, bartenders need to come up with a cocktail inspired by the competition’s theme, ‘The Getaway’, using The Pisco People's products.

Points will be awarded for flavour and creativity (60 points), use of social media to promote the cocktail (10 points), creative listing and promotion of the cocktail in-house (10 points) and creativity surrounding The Getaway theme.

Finalists will be selected from each state to go through to the national final in Victoria, where they will be set a mystery box challenge set by The Pisco People’s ambassador, Dan Monk of Melbourne’s The Rum Diary Bar.

Competition entries will close on 11 December 2015, with secret shoppers visiting shortlisted entries from each state between 12 December and 10 January. State finalists will then be announced on 13 January 2016.

The prize includes flights and accommodation to Peru for the trip of a lifetime. In Peru, the winning bartender will visit the top bars and restaurants and attend a pisco cocktail masterclass in Lima. They will then travel to the south of Peru to visit The Pisco People bodegas in the Ica Valley for tastings with the distillers, before being whisked off on a tour of the Nazca Lines, followed by sand surfing in Huacachina.
