Last night The Bitter Bar's bar manager Michael Cerretani competed in the Woodfood Reserve & Esquire Manhattan Experience Finale. Cerretani competed in New York City at The Dream Hotel against some of the country's finest mixologists with his Woodford Dey Manhattan (check out his ice carving tools) crafted with Woodford Reserve, bitters, vermouth and yellow chartreuse. Though he wasn't crowed the king of the Manhattan cocktail, he definitely represented Colorado. New York City-based bartender Joann Spiegel ended up swooping the title. [Twitter]
