Who’s ready to have a BLOODY good time?! We are so excited to have Pickers Vodka as this year’s official sponsor of The Best Bloody Mary at the Beach Competition! Participants will be making their innovative and delicious bloody marys with Pickers Original Vodka. We can’t wait to pour up a good time on February 24th!

Pickers Vodka is proud of where it’s from and seeks to produce an excellent, handcrafted vodka that reflects Nashville’s distinct character. Their vodka is distilled 11 times through their state-of-the-art column still, filtered 4 times and blended with premium Tennessee limestone water. It is great simply neat, on the rocks, with just a splash of soda, or used in all sorts of specialty cocktails.

We have two perfectly good Vodkas distilled locally. Enough Nashville crap.
