At the beginning of July, we rounded up four Macon restaurants who were ready to mix it up in a little friendly (and tasty) competition. And that competition was all about Taylor Swift.

The rules were simple: create a cocktail inspired by a Taylor Swift Era and have it available for customers to try during the month of July.

Then it was up to you to try each one and vote in our poll for the best.

So, which one did you end up choosing as the winner?

Yollah’s “Champagne Problems” cocktail in the Evermore era won the vote by over 65%.

“We have champagne problems but this drink isn’t one,” said co-owner Brooke Woods. And according to your votes, you agree.

This cocktail was made with “fresh muddled mint, a generous scoop of raspberry sorbet, all topped with a sparkling Rose’ Champagne.” It was also “garnished with a fresh raspberry and mint sprig.”

To round out the competition, Pedro’s Tacos and Tequila Bar made a “Red” era-inspired margarita flight, which received 19% of the vote. Kinjo Kitchen & Cocktails in Macon mixed up a “Lover” era cocktail called the “London Boy,” which got 14% of the vote. And last, but not least is Amici Macon’s “Midnights” era cocktail called “Lavender Haze” that got 2% of the vote.

Should the Telegraph do more fun competitions like this? What competition should we do next? Let me know in the comments or email me at cmadden@mcclatchy.com
