Info Tech held a company-wide contest to determine a signature cocktail that would be appropriate for both Info Tech and the Cade Museum Prize night. There were 17 entries that were taste-tested and judged by a panel of company leaders and employees. Phoebe Cade-Miles was also a judge. All employees were able to vote for their favorite based on name and recipe. The winning recipe was submitted by Jim Ferguson, a senior manager in the software development department. His recipe is inspired by the region.
