I’m thirsty and I’m bored. I’m bored with all the tasteless, uninspiring drinks that I get served at bars, parties, weddings and what have you. My safe bet drink, the Vodka Press, is becoming my annoying friend, I tolerate her because she’s been in my life for years but I don’t really get anything out of it. I’m desperate to be woo-ed by a drink and dare I say WOW-ed by one?
Out of shear desperation and selfish motives I figured I’d search for drinks that I could actually enjoy while simultaneously giving you the bride, ideas for a signature drink at your wedding, which I think is as important as having a wedding photographer or DJ! Yes, to me booze and fancy booze is pretty far up there on the important list. And while you’re drinking your fancy pretty drinks make sure to have the photographer catch all your guests’ sweet moves-on or off the dance floor.

I knew there were awesome drinks out there that I had never tried or even imagined possible. So here is my sincerest pledge to you: I pledge to try each and every one of these drinks. And report back all the grisly details, through sickness and or in health I will accomplish this challenging task. Because if anyone is going to sacrifice themselves for the greater good…it should be me.
Cheers,
