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.

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 ;)
Posted by: Joanna | February 26, 2009 at 07:25 AM
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!
Posted by: Sarah | February 26, 2009 at 07:31 AM
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 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!

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!

When I was in NYC 3 months ago I had the best Key Lime Martini.
I would make the Key Lime Martini for hubby and I to take us back to the fun time we had in NYC.

I'd like to try the "Pac-Man" recipe they next time my son has a sleep over. It's non-alcoholic and sounds fun! Plus, there were too many suggestions for Mommy to choose just one.
Posted by: Erin | February 28, 2009 at 11:30 AM
