The Semi-Finals Begin For Newport’s Cocktail Wars (Video)

Competition heats up in bartending competition.

The winners and runners- up of the first two weeks of Cocktail Wars faced off Monday night to see who’s going to the finals. Present were:

Nicholas Lima of the White Horse Tavern
Corey Hayes of Fluke and the Salvation Cafe.
Quinn Earley of Malt on Broadway

and

Joe Watt of Willy’s, who slid into the spot held by Ryan Kennedy, as he was unable to attend due to an illness.

The mystery liquor?

Wild Turkey 81 Proof

The winner and runner-up continue to the finals, which will be held Monday, February 29 (We have one of those this year), but before that, catch the second (and last) round of Semi-Finals next Monday at the Gas Lamp Grille.
