The most divine box showed up on my doorstep recently. A box of .... liquid!
from my friends at
If you haven't heard of Stirrings, I'm even more delighted you visited today.
Stirrings is a new line of signature cocktail drink mixers, sodas, bar ingredients and amazing gift sets.
Not to mention they all come in packaging so fabulous you want to just keep them out for display.
See? Go ahead... click on them to make them bigger. Get a nice view. ;)
Their site is filled with fabulous ways to blend the perfect concoction for your next occasion.
Fabulous product as well as recipes on how to use them.
St. Patrick's Day is coming up!!!! I encourage you to begin thinking about your celebration now.
Green drinks, anyone? Don't settle for that nasty green beer! Apple Martini? Mojito? Classic Margarita? Top them off with an amazing rimmer and garnish with even more green!
Planning a wedding? Stirrings has a special section on how creative drinks can liven up your event and add a unique touch.
I'm kicking off the weekend by mixing up a few of their drinks to sample!
But... I want to kick-off a Thursday by announcing my next giveaway!
We'll be sending one lucky reader a full size Apple Martini mixer so you may live it up for St. Paddy's Day!
From the site:
An Apple a Day
The Apple Martini is unrivaled amongst its cocktail contemporaries for glamour and urban sophistication. One sip of this luminescent libation and you will feel the warmth of the spotlight. Introducing the first appletini using fresh juice and cane sugar. The apple's back - be green.
Did you know: Almost 6 lbs of fruit go into making one 32 oz bottle of our Apple Mixer. This is equivalent to approximately 18 individual apples in every bottle.
Makes 11 cocktails!
Here's how you enter:
1. Visit the Stirrings site.
2. Pick a recipe that sounds divine and where you'd serve it!
3. Post it here in the comments!
Since this is timely and we need to get it into your hands soon for St. Patrick's Day... the deadline is Monday at Noon, EST.
GOOD LUCK! And Happy Stirring!
The country cosmo sounds so good!I would serve this as our girls drink at our couples party.

The Mint Chocolate Chip martini sounds wonderful! I would serve it up just for me and a night of scrapbooking!

I like the Simple Apple Martini. Its fresh and crisp and gets me in the mood for Spring and Summer. I would serve it at the apple themed shower I'm planning ;)

Ooh, this stuff is the best! I was completely addicted to it when I had a drink in the Delta crownroom and they used it. I'm all over the Peach Bellini or the Raspbellini!

Mmmm...Maui Lemonade or the Caribbean Cosmo both sound SO good. I'd serve it just for me on a hot summer day so I could daydream of being in the Caribbean (cause I won't be getting there anytime soon!)

The Blood Orange Bellini sounds perfect for a bridal shower I am attending!

The Pomegranate Soda sounds just right for a craft night with my sisters and our friends. And since it is non-alcoholic the youngest two girls can enjoy it as well!

I think a Lemon Delight is the perfect drink for the patio on a warm, spring evening with just my hubby or with friends at a bbq - delicious, cool, and bubbly!

The Wild Blueberry Lemondade sounds perfect for a casual outdoor gathering once it really warms up! :)

The tropical breeze recipe sounds delicious. I'd serve these at my sister's house warming. Thanks for the chance.

I would love the Pomegranate Acai Martini to serve at my best friends house warming party. She would love this!!!

I would serve a Tropical Storm (recipe below) at my annual "Hawaiian Party" at the beginning of Spring! It's a great time for friends and family and helps us feel just a little bit like we're on vacation (in the Midwest) - especially when we probably won't be able to head South this year.
Aloha and Tropical Storms for everyone!

Cisco Beach Tea. Sounds wonderful for a Summertime get together or a 4th of July party.

I'd never heard of them. Thanks for the link and the chance to win! I like the way Life Is Good sounds. Keeping my fingers crossed. That would be great at the next Girls Night Out party!

I shamelessly only use their products for my grown-up parties, and I'm dying to try the Watermelon Lemonade, it sounds like a perfect pick-me-up for spring.

I like the Manhattan in the Fall.
