Liz’s Favorite Summer Libation Contest

Y’all know how when you go into a restaurant you get a cocktail menu with all manner of libations—many with pictures of pretty drinks? Liz and I have decided John Glendawn over at the Pirates’ Den needs one of those. I mean, Liz and I will always love the mango margaritas we had so much fun with when Lowcountry Bombshell came out. (The ones Flossie made at Union Ave Books in Knoxville were exceptional.) But John needs some variety, and we need your help.

 

From now through Labor Day, we’re going to be asking for your favorite cocktail recipes. We need something for everyone–virgin drinks are welcome. Grandma’s Summertime Peach Tea would be great. Anyone have a good recipe for that? How do you make your lemonade? We need refreshing beverages of all kinds. Send in a photo with the recipe (or just the recipe) to me at susan@susanmboyerbooks.com and we’ll enter you into a drawing to win a beach bag with Stella Maris swag and beach necessities. We’ll give out one prize for each summer holiday/special occasion: Memorial Day, Father’s Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day.

 

Liz’s very favorite cocktail—naturally she and I will have to sample them all—will win the Liz’s Favorite Summer Libation Prize, and be featured in book four, LOWCOUNTRY BORDELLO.

 

All of Liz’s favorites will be compiled into a Pirates’ Den cocktail menu, which will be available on my website—and of course we’ll be giving them away as swag in various contests going forward. Hey we may even offer them for sale, kinda like a Junior League cookbook, only different.
