Looking to celebrate a special night out with your significant other? What if we tell you that it could end with a $4,000 ring from Smyth Jewelers? Well that's the grand prize in Baltimore's "Choose the One" contest running thanks to Ketel One & Smyth Jewelers. The rules are simple. Stop by one of your favorite local bar or restaurant that is participating (see entire list by clicking here). Enjoy a unique Ketel One cocktail that vary by location. Save your receipt and turn it in to one of the 3 local Smyth Jewelers location (Timmonium, Ellicott City, Annapolis.)
Being active restaurateurs, we decided to try this out for ourselves just last week. The process was simply. We opened Loople to find the closest place running a custom Ketel One cocktail and arrived at Cardinal Tavern just after Happy Hour. Their featured drink? A fresh basil & jalepone mule with Ketel One original vodka.
Honestly, this would not have been my first pick, but I ordered one in an effort to be spontaneous. The chilled copper mug with fresh cut jalapeno floating amid the ice cubes soon arrived. Fresh basil immediately hit my nose as I lifted the glass and with a hesitant approach, I took my first sip. The sweet flavor of ginger and citrus followed. The finish was a clean and balanced heat from the fiery peppers. Each unique ingredient melds together to create a truly magnificent cocktail. I definitely was having another.
 | After we finished our drinks, we asked our bartender the next steps for the contest. He went behind the bar and handed us a purple Smyth Jewelers pouch with a small toy diamond inside. He told us to save our receipts and bring both items to the closest Smyth location for our guaranteed prize. One of our biggest hesitations was this concept of a "guaranteed prize," but that was completely accurate. We showed up to the Timmonium Symth location and won a bracelet which my girlfriend loved. This was an unexpected outcome because you never find contests anymore that rewards every participant like with "Choose the One." Needless to say, we highly recommend trying it for yourself. |
