cocktails & mocktails party

the winners- mama and dad, matt, ben, heidi


look at the disaster that is my kitchen- haha!

dad's so proud of his "best presentation" prize :)




Saturday night we had one of my favorite parties of the summer in our backyard! In order to spread the love of the Ludwig Family Drink Competition to more people, we had a party called Cocktails and Mocktails. Fourteen drinks ranging from a Blueberry Ginger Mojito to a Cosmo Tart to a Panty Dropper (yep, you read right!) were pitted against each other... Brandy Slush (Ben and Heid's contribution) won the grand prize, mama and dad's Summer in a Glass took home the prize for Best Presentation and Matt Meyer's Dirty Monkey won Best Classic Cocktail. What fun!

Here's the winning recipe for those of you who are wanting to make some Brandy Slush goodness for yourself:

BRANDY SLUSH
Ingredients:
9 cups water
2 cups sugar
12 oz can limeade
12 oz can orange juice
3 cups brandy

Directions: Boil water and sugar to dissolve. Stir in oj, limeade and brandy. Cool. Freeze overnight. Serve a scoop of brandy slush in a glass of sprite/sprite zero.
