The RAD Crew says good night before spending some more time mingling with the maggots.

The Tahoe Blue Cocktail Contest – January 26th, 2019

On Saturday, January 26th, 2019, over 300 maggots came out to the sold out Tahoe Blue Vodka Cocktail Contest at Half Time Bar & Grill in Rocklin, CA!  Five recipes submitted by listeners were carefully chosen to compete against each other for cash prizes including $250 for the “Maggots Choice” and $1,000 awarded by the 3 celebrity judges, Kevin Hughey (of Hughey Phillips LLP), Matt (CEO of Tahoe Blue Vodka) and Preston Hanford III (Owner/operator of Hanford Sand & Gravel).  Live music was provided by The Stormcasters and fun was had by all.  The five recipes for all five cocktails in the competition are listed below the photo gallery.
