The North Dakota Museum of Art has teamed up with Far North Spirits, a field-to-glass distillery in Hallock, MN, for the Ninth Annual Gin in Bloom, a craft cocktail contest held in the Museum’s galleries featuring Far North Spirits’ gin products. Featured gins include Solvieg, Solveig Anna's Garden, and Gustaf.

On Thursday, April 23, a select group of area bartenders will vie for bragging rights with their original cocktails or classics with a twist. Guests sample each creation and vote in two categories – Most Original and People’s Choice, the evening’s top award. A panel of judges will award Judges Choice. The event is also sponsored by Hugo's Wine and Spirits.
