This post is WAY OVERDUE!
As you may recall, I was having a cocktail party! I was very intrigued by all of the entries. I am going to give two honorable mentions. These don't come with prizes, but their drinks sounded quite tasty for people who aren't as picky as me.
First I must commend Kellie. Kellie did win a small prize for a later entry because she got fed up and told me to get some water. That was an instant win. She won a stainless steel water bottle. She should have put that down first since she works with me and I drink lots of water and that is really the only thing I ever drink. It is my very favorite beverage on earth and that's all it takes to make me happy at a party. I did, however, like her mocktail recipe. It was warm though. I do not like warm beverages. Just one of the many quirks that had to be overcome.
Next, with an honorable mention is 2 Dog Casa. Her recipe kicked some serious mocktail ass. But it contained raspberries. Raspberries upset me greatly because of their seed content. A normal human would love her mocktail though.
In third place, we have Stephanie with her Carbolic (high)ball mocktail. My family will tell you that I lived on kool aid for many, many years. Too many to admit (well into high school). You rocked my world. You get the joy of third prize (as seen in the photos)! Plus, I like a good lawyer joke! Nice.
In second place is A. Moore. Once upon a time, I was a cosmo girl. I love that mocktail recipe and I hope that I don't get the ghosts of hangovers past just by drinking it. A fine mocktail indeed.
No Dad, you didn't get first prize. Without a doubt, that goes to Kamira. Mira's Mambo Madness Mixer and Mira's Mocklini. While I may despise the pomegranate in its natural form, I love pomegranate-blueberry juice (which Brian drinks, so I could easily swipe it). This made my mouth water when I read the recipe. Heavenly.
I want to thank everyone that entered, except when my dad tried to poison me with aftershave and then asked me when I called when he would be receiving his prize.
Our next post will have a girlie prize and will be beauty focused. I have a lot of unused beauty products, but I've mentioned that little habit before.
Congrats to all of the winners! Oh, and I think our next prize might be located on the Facebook fanpage. Then we might do a Twitter contest. See, I'm trying to be all technologically savvy.
Aftershave? This is a story ye must tell! And if it’s good, please don’t Facebook it!! I plead with you, I’m not a FBer.
Oh, just read the comments on the original Cocktail party post. The individual using the name Walmart Romeo is my Dad. (Yes, seriously.) I told him that his original recipe contained alcohol and he couldn’t use that. So he told me to drink Aqua Velva. And not the vodka cocktail by the same name. I know he meant the after shave because he mentioned blindness.
That is the kind of sick humor that I am dealing with in my family. My upbringing is becoming clear now, isn’t it?
Congrats to all the winners!! And to Danielle’s Dad…there’s always next time
What poison? Ed drank AV for a couple years, even when he got back to the world(acquired taste).
He’s now 76, perfectly normal(sort of) and doesn’t look a day over 90.
Dad, Are you saying that if I was a wee baby Danielle that you would not have put a Mr. Yuck Says No sticker on a bottle of Aqua Velva?
WOOT YAY YAY YAY!
Even though Aqua Velva wasn’t part of the houshold staples, it would have been kept in the salle de bains on the upper shelf with the rest of the sweet smelling potions.
A previous child drank fairly expensive perfume. No blood, no foul, but we were prepared not to repeat that episode.
It’s common knowledge when another child spent time in said facility, it was generally an extended stay with a book in their lap(yes we have proof next to the prom pictures); no time for drinking aftershave.
