The New-And-Improved Liz’s Favorite Summer Libation Contest

May 21, 2014 in Giveaways, Refreshing Beverages

Friday MargaritasI have learned a thing or two about summer libations. The first thing I learned is that every time I post a photo or recipe of a refreshing beverage on various social media platforms, it gets lots of social media love. Y’all are excited about summer libations, is what I’m saying. Which is what gave me the idea for the Liz’s Favorite Summer Libation contest.

The second thing I learned about summer libations is that it’s a lot of trouble to post a recipe with a photo, and it’s getting close to summer, and who really wants to bother with that, right? Then there’s all that worrisome legalese and whatnot.

So…here are the details on the NEW- And- Improved Liz’s Favorite Summer Libation contest:

We’re all still working together on a cocktail menu for John Glendawn over at the Pirates’ Den. But I’ll post photos and recipes that are candidates for the menu. Y’all “like,” comment on, share, tweet, pin, et cetera the ones you find interesting. The recipes with the most activity in the weeks leading up to each summer holiday or special occasion will be included in the menu (along with others Liz especially likes). Everyone who commented, liked, shared, tweeted, pinned, et cetera the winner will be entered in the drawing for that holiday. We’ll give away one prize for each summer holiday/special occasion: Memorial Day, Father’s Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day. And of course, Liz’s very favorite cocktail will be featured in LOWCOUNTRY BORDELLO.

What are the prizes, you ask? Beach totes or bags filled with Stella Maris swag and beach necessities. Photos of a representative example to come.

Cheers,  y’all!

 

Susan

      Hey Marysue! Thank you–I hope you’ll find a few refreshing beverages you like! We are mostly settled, but not completely. Maybe by the end of the long weekend…

      I hope you have a great summer as well!

    Hey Susan: Her’s my favorite summer drink — Tequila and Mountain Dew Code Red, also known as Red-Dew-Quilla. Not only tastes good, but also looks great — all red and bubbly. The alcohol is a depressant, and the caffeine is a stimulant, so they balance each other out and you stay mellow even if you do get drunk.

    My favorite summer beverages include citrus. Any drink made with lemonade suits me perfectly. I love an “Arnold Palmer” with a shot of Limoncello. Or begin with Limoncello and add rum or vodka, or both (hehe) and lots of slices of citrus in a tall glass with tons of ice. Ummm.

    Love your books so much.

    Have a great summer.

      Hey, Laura! The next book in the series, LOWCOUNTRY BONEYARD, will be coming out April 15. There’s a longer-than-usual delay between books this one time so we could get me switched to spring releases. I’m so sorry for the delay! There should be (at a minimum) a new book each April going forward.

      Thanks so much for reading! I hope you have a great summer!

        I’ve got one that requires a special ingredient! Mom’s favorite Southern treat was a Cherry Phosphate soda! You take 4 ounces of maraschino cherry juice or liqueur and add soda water to make 12 ounces, and add 4 shakes of Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. Shake with lots of Ice and put a maraschino cherry on top! Tastes so good you will think you’ve died and gone to Heaven!

    What a fun contest! 😉

    My favorite simple, summertime Skinny Margarita is a mix of Scales brand, no carb, no sugar, Margarita mix and a and a shot and a half or two (oh why not?) of Milagro Tequila over crushed ice.

    It’s awesome!

      Naturally, Betty! Love these. The problem, though, is that you forget you’re drinking liquor. So good! 🙂

    I want to try the Susan’s Dark ‘n’ Stormy. I don’t drink much, but reading about all these drinks is making me thirsty. I do like gin and tonic with lime wedges, winter and summer.

    I’m waiting with anticipation for the newest book in the series!

    Easy, easy libation

    Grey Goose Vodka over crushed ice and mixed with the ICE drink of Mango/Tangerine. It is so refreshing and takes 30 seconds to make. Make as strong or weak as is your preference. ENJOY!

      Wow, this sounds like a perfect summer libation. Easy to make and easy on the calorie count. 🙂 I will definitely give it a spin–very soon. Is it happy hour yet?

      Cheers!

    My girlfriend told me about a Dirty Girl Scout; hot chocolate with Dr. McGillicuddy’s Mentholmint Schnapps. It tastes like the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie.
    Why couldn’t you adapt it to chocolate milk/Schnapps over ice for the summer?
