Maker’s Mark has teamed up with famed interior designer Orlando Soria, to bring people together for the ultimate #MakersHour cocktail hour with its Remarkable Home Bar contest.
The Kentucky bourbon is inviting fans 21 years and older to nominate a friend, family member or mentor that they would love to share a cocktail hour with, for a chance to receive a pair of custom home bar makeovers this summer, both designed and curated by Soria.
“Over the past year, we’ve all come to appreciate the art of an excellent homemade cocktail, but what makes a cocktail hour most enjoyable isn’t just about what’s in your glass,” said Rob Samuels, Managing Director at Maker’s Mark. “It’s about all the personal details – from the space where you’re enjoying it, to the company you’re enjoying it with. Calling upon Orlando’s great taste, we’re honored to help create that perfect Maker’s Hour for one of our fans and someone who has played a remarkable role in their life.”
The Remarkable Home Bar contest kicked on May 19 and ran through June 9, with fans being encouraged to shout-out to a remarkable person in their life that they would most like to treat to a Maker’s Hour.
A winning duo will be rewarded with Soria personally consulting and creating two custom home bar spaces. The “two-of-akind” bars will each be designed to mirror each other with a cohesive aesthetic, so that the selected pair can share a drink ‘at the bar,’ whether physically together or virtually in their respective homes.
“Good interior design in any room is about creating a space that makes you feel that you’re living your best life, and I’m so excited to collaborate with Maker’s Mark to do that with a pair of bar spaces where treating yourself feels so natural,” said Orlando Soria, Interior Designer and ‘Bar Architect’ for the Remarkable Home Bar program. “I want to use these designs to help whisky drinkers connect with each other in their homes the same way they would at a high-end bar!”
Once selected, Maker’s Mark, Soria and a team of licensed professionals will safely survey the winning spaces to create the fully-customized ‘two-of-a-kind’ home bar areas. Each bar will be complete with bar seating for up to four guests, bottle displays, accent pieces, functional drinks equipment, and the perfect lighting.
