SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, this year’s annual Greater Seattle Business Association (aka, the GSBA) cocktail fundraising event is a bit different. It involves a whole week of boozing it up instead of the usual one night drinking signature cocktails event they usually have.

WOO HOO!!!!

A WHOLE WEEK OF CRAFT COCKTAILS!

It’s happening NEXT week (August 27 through the 31st) at five area venues known for their good drinks…though, none of them are actual gay bars, they’re all members of the GSBA.

How it works is, you go to the establishments, buy and drink the competing cocktail and then rate it.

Easy peasy…even for people sloshed on fahncy booze.

Since SVEDKA is mentioned in the PR for this event, we’re guessing vodka of that persuasion will be a featured ingredient…the winning cocktail will be the star of GSBA’s big annual November Gala fundraiser, EQUALUX: TASTE of GSBA.

A bit more info on where to go/what to do!
