Aloha TC’s :)

Hamo,
That is great to post the Official drink contest page.!!! I also found the following about a week ago...just haven’t had the time to post it.

Tiki Central’s Official Drink contest: Deadline over!

It is a great compilation of everyone’s drink recipe submissions. There’s even one in there commenting on having some sour grapes as a joke......looks like tikiskip was totally in step with the drink contest vibe !!!! This is the first time I’ve tried to use a fancy shmansy URL code thing.....I hope it works!!

Mikehooker,
It would be great if you wanted to create something......but, I think the idea of creating some rules is a good point. It seems that was the same direction that martiki and Hanford were discussing the first time around.

The quote function didn’t work (I think) because the topic is locked but, here’s from that post...reposted here from Hanford in 2003

Thanks Futura Girl for reminding me, here's the 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.
d. 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!

After settling on some rules (or could just adopt the previous ones), then we just need to find a place.....Trader Tom and HipHipaHula already offered to be judges....I think a few more judges would be appropriate. I know Kelly Merrill has done a few judging gigs, and he’s in the area. Possibly we can find a few more judges in the area?

We could beg and plead Tonga Hut for their facility....they were exceedingly nice to offer their space for the TC20 party control center....and I think everyone had a great time.

What does everyone think?
