Olé Fire Grill Martini Contest Winners

Who has the “Best Martini” on the Melbourne Coast this holiday season? Some 200 people enjoyed a variety of samples from 15 area bars and restaurants and voted Downtown Melbourne’s Olé Fire Grill the best martini. Olé’s “Homemade Apple Pie-tini,” a sweet and tangy cider-infused concoction, was the crowd pleasing favorite, taking home the $250 prize in the Melbourne Regional Chamber’s Annual Martinis & Mistletoe event held on December 2nd.  The second best Martini went to A & M Mobile Bar Services for their “Apple Sauce Slushie. These bars will be happy to serve you the drinks they created just for this contest and will help you celebrate the rest of the Holiday Season!

For the first time in the event’s eight years, the same bar swept both “Best Martini” and “Best Decorated” contests.  Olé Fire Grill took “Best-Decorated Bar” honors for their elaborate Olé’s  Apple Orchard theme, complete with bales of hay, gourmet candied apples, and a custom build-out, winning an additional $250 prize. Second place for the best decorated bar went to Uno Pizzeria & Grill of Viera, who helped us ‘find our happy place,’ with their whimsical theme from the movie Trolls.

 

These honors are awarded each year at Martinis and Mistletoe, a Melbourne Regional Chamber of East Central Florida signature event, with many thanks to Presenting Sponsor- Lexus of Melbourne, Martini Contest Sponsor - Crowne Plaza Melbourne-Oceanfront, Holiday Buffet Sponsor - Florida Today Communications and Premium Sponsor - Club 52/Melbourne Greyhound Park.

A special thanks and a job well done to our other bars and restaurants:  Bennigan’s, Crowne Plaza Melbourne-Oceanfront, Iron Oak Post, Island Pasta Company, Ocean 302 Bar & Grill, Old School Pizza, Pappagallo’s Pizza, PC Keats, Red Ginger, River Rocks, Steagles Pub, and Whiskey Row .

Martinis & Mistletoe, always held in December, gives our area bars and restaurants an opportunity to showcase their drinks, while allowing smaller businesses a venue for their Employee Holiday Celebrations…so mark your calendars and get those creative ‘martini-juices’ flowing now if you want to compete or attend next year!
