Yeah, the main idea isn't to ONLY concoct a drink that bartenders will make it for us. I know that's a sketchy proposal all the way around. I think it would be cool to have a drink that doesn't take 15 minutes to make, doesn't take 2 months to find all the ingredients, and isn't real easy to fuck up while making. It could be tough for the Judges if I we to do that for each entry.

I'm not expecting to get a bartender on a busy night at a popular bar (like Trad'r Sam's or Bamboo Hut) make it, but perhaps on a dlow day, if you get the right bartender you could get them to fire one up for ya.

And who knows, maybe we can get a Tiki Bar or two to add it to their menu.

I think the focus of the drink should be (in order):

1. Tastes good.
2. Is fairly original (not just a renamed standard, although changing 1 or 2 ingredients of a standard is fine)
3. Isn't real complicated to get ingredients or make.

Fresh lemon or lime juice is no big deal I don't think. If no bars will make it for us, again, no big deal. But the easier we make it, the easier it is for everyone to enjoy!
