Martiki, Okay, looks like everything has been set in motion. As a recap, looks like we have 5 teams. I once again, tip my hat to you--great idea! This is my recap of this thread:

Teams: 1) Martiki 2) Dr. Z 3) Cheeky Girl 4) PiPhiRo 5) Tiki Hula

Drinks: 3 oz. samples

Scoring: No judges, everyone judges. Scoring drinks given points of 1-5, drink with highest average wins.

Location: I offer my room as the taste test location--as soon as I know what room I've been assigned, I'll let everyone know.

I will bring a 6' folding table; cups, and score sheets. I'll bring a large garbage bag for the trash too.

Drinks/Mixing: This is something I suggest. Pre-making drinks in large pitcher (we are using one of those "sun tea" containers) enough for 20-25 samples. If we need more, we can make them as we go. I'll have an ice chest handy to keep containers cool--for any other teams that want to pre-make drinks. In fact, I whole-heartedly suggest we do so.

Drink Distribution: I suggest giving everyone that wants to join in the taste test a plate with all 5 samples (I have plates I can bring too) In that way, everyone can sip and score at their leisure. We can simply refererence the cups with a black marker.

Money: I'm confused as to what was decided?

Time: Martiki, pick a time and we will be there. I'll have the table set up at least 1/2 prior for the teams.

As far as Baby Doe suggestions, I'm for whatever everyone thinks is best. I'll go along with whatever is decided.

Go Team Cheeky!
