Prize #2 Winner
I was amazed at all the entries for this prize. I thought that no one would want to go on the scavenger hunt but I was thrilled by all the participation. It was so fun to hear from so many people! Thanks to everyone that entered and I'm proud to say that my clues must have been good because everyone got it 100% correct.
I did a random draw from all the entries and the winner of the mini-purse and book from the genre of your choice is...Joanna S.! YaY!
Winners, please contact me with your book choice/genre choice and your snail mail information.
I'm looking forward to reading about all the delish drinks today! Cheers!

Hi Kerri! Guess I'll start the drinking before the cocktail hour. I'm not too complicated as far drink refreshment go. I like the ones already mixed, like the maragrita, daquiri, or white Russian that you buy in a pre-mixed bottle. The white russian is good in some coffee about this time of the day.
I'll be back. I've got to go fix some.

Ahh, the power of suggestion, even if I did suggest it myself. But now that I've settled comfortably in my chair, legs crossed in Indian style, the dogs are coming to look expectantly. It's too early for their walk, but they like to remind me early, especially when they see me sit down here. Because that means I'll get engrossed again and may not get up to take them today.
Now back to drinks. Just give me a rum and coke or a dark beer. Just looking at the drinks I like, I realize I really do have a sweet tooth. No wonder I'm having difficulty losing weight! I'd better walk later.
Cheers,
Julie
I'm feeling a bit perkier now. Must be the caffeine, right?!

Oh, and congrats to Louisa and Joanna S.
Thanks for the schedule, Kerri. It's nice to know how far 'll have to travel.
I love Sinapore Slings. I found this recipe and bought the ingredients to try it out and it was great.
1 1/2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce Cherry Heering brandy
1/4 ounce Cointreau
1/4 ounce Benedictine
4 ounces pineapple juice
1/2 ounce lime juice
1/3 ounce grenadine
dash bitters
I'm not sure but some of the ingredients can be substituted for something else.
My fave drink is amaretto stone sour, amaretto, sour mix and orange juice with a fresh orange slice and cherry! Yummm
Wow, Jeanette, that sounds complicated!
