Last year's contest was so much fun I went back in time and copied the blog post.

Cocktail Contest Winners.

Thursday afternoon we had a contest...a COCKTAIL contest, and if you missed it,
well all I can say is, poor baby, you missed a great time!
We had eleven would-be bartenders show off their mixology skills, and dramatic flair.
The tables were decorated with everything from bright colors, teddy bears,
and Valentine candy to pirate booty, tropical ambiance and fruit.
The judges were a hoot. They really got into the spirit, shall we say.
All the recipes for the fun and tasty libations will be published in the Sandpiper Cookbook.

Here are the judge's results.
Best Liqueur Cocktail-Sue and Jim Z #38-Limoncello

Best Motivator-Sue and John P #37-The Mounds

Best Coco Loco-Bob H #36-Pina Colada

Most Romantic on Beach-Dave and Sandy J-#48 Easy Street Sundowner

Most Sneaky-Donna L #221-Brandy Slush Puppies

Best Panty Puller-Ron and Donna #204-Smurf Pizz

Best use of a Controlled Substance-Ellen and Sandy #412/#414-Long Island Tea

Most Precarious Use of Rum-Ian and Terry #502-Strawberry Daiquiri

Most Splendiferous Tale-Marilyn and Tom #420-Pirates Punch

Best Use of Freudian Slips-Bob W #34-Vodka Berry Slurpie

Healthiest Way to Get Laid-Irwin and Margaret #332-Caesar Cocktail


Peoples’ Choice award was very close as there were many contenders and the
winner was the Healthiest Way to Get Laid-Irwin & Margaret!

All involved seem to have lots of fun including judges Jan and George who
sampled all drinks in 25 minutes then sat down to deliberate and
wait for the buzz to catch up, which it did (hehe).
Then we had to go back and confirm our decisions which,
of course, involved more sampling.
We were both glowing and feeling no pain by the end.
Submitted: Judge George

So get on your thinking caps and hone your showmanship skills.
The judges are looking for a show!
Oh, and taste, of course!
