Create the "Magnificent Bastard" Cocktail, Win a $500 Shopping Spree at Kegworks

I know a fair amount of you like to enter or at least follow cocktail contests, so here's one with a $500 prize on the line from Magnificent Bastard.

From the contest entry page:

While crowd-sourcing is typically employed in the pursuit of esoteric and/or trivial projects, like developing new kinds of software or analyzing unwieldy piles of data, there's no reason it can't be used for something truly useful, like inventing a new cocktail. You send in your recipes, we judge them. The winning entry will get a $500 shopping spree at KegWorks.com, along with all the glory that will surely come with giving the world a great new balm to toast its triumphs, ease its setbacks, seal its deals, and enliven its slow days at the office.

The mind races with the possible ingredients that would go into a cocktail called a "Magnificent Bastard". 

I might enter. Just wondering what I'd use as the "bastard" to complement the magnificence of the cachaça. Personally, I think that approach will be the key to a win. Boning up on Embury's Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, which MB references, might help as well.

About Cachaçagora

  • Hi. My name is Phil Gomes. By day, I work at a public relations firm as its senior vice president of digital integration. I'm a proud SF East Bay native who currently lives in Chicago.

    I was introduced to cachaça by my wife, a Carioca. Her mom, in turn, is the president of the Confraria de Cachaça do Copo Furado, a group that meets monthly to talk about Brazil's indigenous spirit. I participated in one of their meetings when I vacationed in Rio in July 2008.

    This started me thinking about the basic question of whether cachaça in the U.S. is today where, say, tequila was some decades ago.

    So I decided to start this blog as a means to record and share the cachaça-related items I've been seeing day-to-day. I hope to be sharing recipes, impressions, and random thoughts as the U.S. continues to catch on to the potential for this particular spirit.

    Oh... The name? "Cachaçagora" is a portmanteau of "Cachaça" and "agora", which is the Portuguese word for "now". In Greek, "agora" also means public square. I hope to meet the expectations of both.

    Saúde!
