Help create our Signature Drink!!

Hi all,

We're looking for your tiki expertise!! Rum Connection.com is holding a drinks competition to see who can create our signature cocktail. Put together an original drink recipe that you think captures the spirit of our site and you could win a load of cool rum-related schwag and a bit of good press!! Please follow this link for more details. http://rumconnection.com/uncategorized/signature-drink-competition/

Cheers.

Wow! Be prepared to get a slew of submissions from the home mixologist community on this site, this looks like fun! Any excuse to experiment with this joy juice will be snapped up and proliferated, especially since you ultimately have THREE signature drinks you are looking for. What a sacrifice to have to test all the submissions! You are not just gonna sip and spit, are you? :)

Hi all,

We've received some great recipes for the Rum Connection Signature Drink Competition but still need more help. Hook us up with one of your original cocktail creations and you may win a load of rum goodies. Contest ends in just a few weeks.
