Overview
'Tis the season to be merry, and toast the holidays with a fine mixed drink! We're fond of both mocktails and cocktails, so we're hosting a Cocktails vs. Mocktails Contest!
Enter your favorite mixed-drink recipes, and win some awesome prizes from ThinkGeek! They can be cocktails or non-alcoholic mocktails, classic recipes or your own invention - we just want to see the best drinks you can make.
To make this contest a little extra-interesting, we're adding a new contest feature: the Team Bonus Prize. Each Instructable will count toward either Team Mocktail or Team Cocktail. The team with the most entries will be rewarded with an extra top prize. Each category already has one top prize, but if Team Mocktail has more entries, then there will be two top prizes for mocktails, or vice versa!
So if you want to improve your odds for winning a top prize, submit more entries for your team!
For the Team Mocktailers out there: when titling your Instructable, be sure to add "mocktail" to the end. So "Daiquiri Mocktail" or "Piña Colada Mocktail" or "Gin & Tonic Mocktail." Sure, the last one is just tonic water, but you get the idea.
And one more special bonus: everyone who enters will also receive a coupon for up to $10 off a Think Geek purchase! Every entry wins - what more could you ask for? Now, start your shakers and blenders!
Multiple entries are accepted and encouraged. International entries are allowed.
