It might be too much Mad Men, or it might be too much time on maternity leave, but I – formerly a wine, beer, and scotch drinker – have been getting into cocktails lately. They seem to add a layer of fun and sophistication to a book club meeting or even a fundraiser one.
So when the LCBO generously offered More.ca blog readers a prize pack, I was happy because it’s a great excuse to ask you all what your favourite cocktail is. If you can add the recipe to your comment, or tell us why it’s your favourite so much the better — because I will be trying a number of them — BUT to win, all you need is to put the name of your favourite – before Friday, February 3, at noon Eastern Standard time. (Click the picture for a bigger view of the prize pack!)
The LCBO has graciously provided us with the prize (value $200!), but is not involved in the contest other than that! Here’s a description of what you’ll win:
12 Cocktail Picks with Gem Ends
1 Crystal Pick Holder
1 Dark Chocolate fleur de sel caramels
1 Sea Salt Nut Mix
1 Fruit and Nut Mix
1 Honey Sesame
1 Dark chocolate toffee almonds
1 Black Lace Placemat
1 Classic Honeycomb shaker
1 Axis martini bar tool set w/ ice bucket
1 Acrylic Tray Large
4 Nero Mirror Martini glass
As usual I’ll select a winner randomly from the comments. One entry per person please, and sadly we cannot offer this to our Quebec or non-Canadian readers. (Quebec, I am so sorry…it’s your provincial rules.) By entering you agree to the rules and to accept the prize as awarded and we reserve the right to substitute a prize of equal value.
Enjoy the cocktail hour!
This contest is now closed – check back for the winner!
