Dutch Barn Vodka - co-owned by comedian Ricky Gervais and created by the Pocklington- based Ellers Farm Distillery - is hosting a competition for all Yorkshire bartenders with £5,000 up for grabs.

The Yorkshire MotherDutching Mixologist Competition 2024 challenges local mixologists to create a new cocktail using Dutch Barn.

Ricky himself will share the winning cocktail on his personal Instagram page, giving the winning Yorkshire-based bartender a global audience.

To enter, Yorkshire-based bartenders simply need to register their details on the Dutchbarn.com website and create a killer 'motherdutching' cocktail, posting a picture of the masterpiece on Instagram and tagging @dutchbarnvodka along with the hashtag #YORKSHIREDUTCHER2024.

In addition to £5,000, the winner will have their cocktail creation shared to all of Ricky Gervais’ 4 million Instagram followers, as well 2x VIP tickets to his newly announced Mortality Tour and other goodies!

There will also be prizes for the runner up, including 2x VIP tickets to the Mortality Tour and a signed bottle of Dutch Barn Vodka from Ricky himself.
