Greetings Glasplygians!
With the Rendezvous just about a month away, for those who think they can mix a mean beverage it's time to get serious. Remember that the annual Mixology Competition will take place on the dock at Cap Sante at 1700 on Saturday, and when the dust settles we'll have crowned the Master Mixologist and the Master of the Mocktail! It's a lot of fun, and quite tasty, besides. Last year I crushed the competition in the Mocktail contest, and this year I intend to dominate both categories. Brace yourselves!
Again, here are the rules:
1) Your beverage should be mixed and ready to pour at the outset of the competition at 1700; you'll want to have it in a pitcher or suitable container. Don't mix it at the contest table.
2) You'll need to make enough to serve a taste to about 20 people; just a taste will do -- dixie cups will be provided.
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 coconut 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 we'll total up the results, and the winner in each category will get a prize and bragging rights.
5) If you intend to compete please let me know the name of your drink and the category (with or without liquor) so I can put you on the scorecard.
Ladies and gentlemen, start your shakers!
