That is why we are still experimenting fancy cocktails. The coconut cocktail holders were a hot mess, but I found that watermelon is far easier to handle and more reliable.
Here’s the recipe for a Smirnoff Ruby Watermelon cocktail that we enjoyed this weekend at the pool:
2 shots of Smirnoff Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka
1 shot of Fresh Watermelon Juice
1 shots of Sprite Zero
1 shot of Cranberry Juice
And then serve in a watermelon bowl!
Note that the portions may need to be adjusted for the size of your watermelon bowl and booze tolerance.
There were some Monday-night shenanigans this week.
As if the Erika Jayne concert and being selected for the Hotels.com campaign weren’t exciting enough, Michael and I decided to continue the fun at the Stoli Key West Cocktail Classic on Monday night.
Even though we have seen the advertisements for this event for weeks, we did not seriously consider going to it until we bumped into Stoli LGBT ambassadorffat the Erika Jayne show.
Patrik reminded us that the Key West Cocktail Classic was happening and told us to RSVP.
Apparently only Michael got the message – RSVP’s were already closed by the time I got around to the website. However Patrik got me a wristband anyway.
The Key West Cocktail Classic as totally worth it.
I expected the cocktail classic to look more like a career fair (booths with several sample-sized cocktails.) It turned out to be a full show hosted by Patrik and local gay celebrity Steve Kemble.
Real Housewife LeeAnne Locken was also three as a judge.
The celebrity judges at the Stoli cocktail classic including Steve Kemble and LeeAnne Locken.
Most of the major gay bars on the strip were represented at the mix-off.
The owner of Liquid Zoo was also a participant – she was a stand-in for one of her bartenders who is recovering from cancer.
