\nI\u2019m taking part in this month\u2019s Mixology Monday \u2013 hosted by Hobston\u2019s Choice <\/a><\/p>\n

I am thrilled to be one of the 10 finalists for the Tales of the Cocktail – cocktail competition!The challenge? To make a \u201ctikified\u201d Planter\u2019s Punch.<\/p>\n

I love tiki drinks \u2013 and Pimm\u2019s \u2026and raspberries! So after shaking up a few dozen concoctions, I finalized my entry with a Planters Punch \u201c<\/strong>Berry<\/strong> Cup\u201d<\/strong> \u2026 my “Big Easy\u201d twist on Planters Punch.<\/p>\n

Author, expert and cocktail judge Jeff Berry said: \u201cSampling from over 150 of these creative, complex, forward-thinking, often delicious, was pure pleasure, but choosing only 10 was no easy task \u2014 there were just too many good ones.\u00a0Often it came down to the originality of the garnish, or the use of an unexpected ingredient that harmonized particularly well.\u00a0 But I can confidently say that if I saw these 10 finalists on the cocktail menu of a tiki bar, I would never leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other finalist\u2019s recipes are online at Tales of the Cocktail <\/a>– and the winner will be announced on March 31, 2010. Best of luck to us all!!<\/p>\n
