Tiki Central's Official Drink contest: Deadline over! - Tiki Drinks and Food

H hanford_lemoore Tiki Socialite Tiki Central Joined: Mar 23, 2002 Posts: 1899	H hanford_lemoore Posted posted on Mon, Mar 17, 2003 2:30 AM I've been kicking around the idea for a while now ... to have an offical drink, preferably one we name ourselves. One that's easy to make, and easy to get (cool) bartenders to make for us. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, in fact the easier to make the better: Having to drive around to find some exotic ingredient will make it a little harder for some of our more remote members to make it. So, I asking all of the great mixologists to put your brain to the test. Dean TheJab: if you could help moderate, officate, and judge, well, that would make it a lot easier on me. Of course, you're welcome to come up with your own concoction, too. Whoever (if any) comes up with the chosen Offical Tiki Central Drink wins a special prize! Offical rules: By submitting a drink recipe you are giving Tiki Central and its members the right to reproduce the recipe and drink it. The drink has to be original. Don’t submit a drink recipe without changing something. Since there’s hundreds of thousands of drinks out there, some in books, some not, “Original” well be defined by our mixologist TheJab, but you can guarantee that if it’s a standard drink, it’s not going to win. In order to not stifle creativity: all drinks that fit 1 and 2 will be considered. However, these are the qualities we will be judging them on: a. Taste– How good is the flavor? b. Tikiness – does it taste like a Tiki drink? This means Rums and tropical flavors may win out over other types of drinks. c. Ease of creation - This means finding the ingredients, preparing the drink. If your drink uses some special garnish or has a preferred mug, that does not count towards ease of creation. Only things that affect taste affect this rating. So, fruit squeezed into the drink affects it, but garnish does not. Creativity - Not just in the ingredients, but it the recipe. In the name. In the delivery. There may be more than one winner, there may be none. Hanford Lemoore reserves the right to modify the rules and deadlines at any time. If you want you recipe to be a secret, send it to [email protected] and it'll be safe with me. If you’d like to post an entry here, feel free. James gets a special prize whether he wins or not for posting already. Mahalo and good luck! [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore on 2003-04-02 02:10 ]
