  • This year's Master Mixologist!

    Friends, by now it's a time-honored tradition to crown the GlasPly Nation's Master Mixologist at the annual Rendezvous. This is an early reminder that we're going to rock the barge again this year at 1700 on August 12, so please let me know if you want to join this year's competition. Last year EricNW took the prize; will he defend the title? Go to "Rendezvous 2022" on the forum for photos of last year's contest.

    Remember:

    1) Your adult beverage should be mixed and ready to pour at the outset of the competition at 1700; it's best to have it in a pitcher or suitable container so you can pour quickly.

    2) You'll need to make enough to serve about 25 (depending on attendance) people; not a full drink, though, just a taste will do. Small Dixie cups will be provided. Tasting is open to all attendees of legal age, but is, of course, strictly voluntary.

    3) Your beverage should have a name, either a well-known cocktail appellation or one you've made up. The only restriction on your recipe is that you must have mixed your drink: it can't come right out of a bottle or can. You should be prepared to let people know your ingredients if asked (in case someone's allergic to chocolate or pineapple or whatever).

    4) Those who volunteer to be tasters will get a scorecard on which they'll give each drink a rating. At the end the results will be totaled, and the winner will get this year's award.

    5) If you intend to compete, please let me know the name of your drink by August 5 so you can be put on the scorecard. PM me, or shoot an email to: [email protected]

    Looking forward to a spirited (ha!) competition!

    Warmly,
    Mr. Smee​

                Alright… I’m in for another attempt. I think this year I’ll have to make a drink I don’t prefer.

                  Ha! Copy that, mate. Every year I make something I think is yummy, but doesn't fly with the crowd. Either I have no taste or you guys don't -- in any case, I'll try again. There's still plenty of time, but I'd very much like to get a handle on how many competitors we have in the next month or so. C'mon, mixers, step on up!

                        OK, mariners, with the Rendezvous just about a month away I believe we have six contestants in the annual Mixology Contest: Appella, Binford, EricNW, bdwelton, Nova, and Mr. Smee. That's a strong field, but there's definitely room for more contestants. If you want to toss your jigger in the ring, please be sure to let me know. There are several past contestants missing -- have you run out of recipes? You don't want to show up and find there's no room at the table!

                        Greatly looking forward to seeing you all again,
                        Mr. Smee

                          Subtle reminder, mariners: we're closing in on the Rendezvous, and if you want to challenge to become this year's Master Mixologist, you need to let me know by August 5. You never know -- this could be your year! (Unless it's my year )

                            OK, gang, the time has come. So far I have only two named cocktails on the score sheet, I'm going to print them out on Monday, and head north. If you want to compete to be this year's Master Mixologist, you need to let me know that you're in, and what you call your drink. It's going to be a dull evening if there are only two contestants! Step it up!
