Filed Under: Booze | Contests

We put you on to this in the latest edition of Notes from the Weekend, but here's a reminder: Preston Eckman, beverage manager at APO Bar + Lounge (102 S. 13th St.), has a cocktail entered in a webby vote-off competition organized by Cocktail for a Cause and VeeV, the acai-based spirit. The top three barkeep vote-getters by this coming Monday, May 3, will win a trip to Tales of the Cocktail, set for this July in New Orleans. HEAD RIGHT HERE to vote (you can do it once per day) and check out Eckman's elaborate recipe for A Halo Over Her Head, a crazy-refreshing warm-weather sipper that features elements like honeydew, aloe preserve and spheroid acai juice/Creme Yvette "berries."
