Everyday Celebrating

Can I buy you a drink? no, really.

Like those?
Have friends that do?
Have friends that are far away and you'd like to send out for a few?

Give Real is a website that allows you to send drinks virtually.  Not just images... REAL DRINKS!
Log onto Give Real, and purchase your friends drinks that they can enjoy at any restaurant or bar across the country.  Here's how it works:

1.  Choose a friend and select a drink credit.  You can give $1 up to $99!

2.  Style your gift by making a drink selection or including a personal message.

3.  Pay with a credit card.  Your friend will immediately receive a gift notification and instructions on how to redeem their real drink.

And they don't JUST do alcoholic beverages!  Send someone a milkshake or a coke to brighten up their day. 

Pay for a round of birthday drinks for a friend!  A great wedding gift!  Send the couple some drinks that they can enjoy on their honeymoon!  Or send drinks to friends going on vacation!  Celebrate a promotion,  cheer up someone's bad day, etc.  Makes a good Christmas present or game watching party gift... or... it's just good to put a smile on someone's face!

Gift giving just gets easier and easier, right?

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!

GOOD LUCK!  And Happy Stirring!
