Mixology Competition Saturday in Fort Lauderdale
Drinking and dining are some of South Floridian’s favorite pastimes, but these indulgences all that much better when they’re for a higher purpose. So for anyone feeling like a Good Samaritan this Saturday, there’s Cheers to B, a charitable mixology competition and mixer kicking off at Fort Lauderdale’s Antique Car Museum.
The evening serves to benefit B the Difference, a neurofibromatosis (NF) charity dedicated to the memory of Brandon Merritt, a 22-year-old South Florida native who died from the disease last year. 100% of the proceeds will go toward the Children’s Tumor Foundation, ultimately, to help find a cure for NF.
“Brandon was an amazing person with the biggest heart and smile who would do anything for anybody. His love and compassion for his family and friends was 110%. He touched everyone who was lucky enough to cross paths with him,” said Jackie Eisen, Co-Producer of the event along with Brandon’s sisters, Stephanie and Jessica Merritt.
As far as food details, the feast will include carving stations, meatballs, lamb chops, mini hot dogs, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, cheese platters, cold appetizers, pastas and desserts galore. They’ll also feature five mixology stations (featuring Double Cross vodka), each pouring a cocktail created just for the event.
These include:
Cucumber Mint by Marriott Harbor Beach:Â Double Cross Vodka infused with Cucumbers and Mint
Ortanique Lychee Martini by Gilbert Velilla:Â Double Cross Vodka, Lychee Juice, Lychee Liqueur
Cooper Avenue Carpathian Cooler by Cricket Nelson:Â Double Cross Vodka, Ginger Liqueur, Pear Liqueur, Fresh Lemon Juice, Riesling, Served with a splash of club soda
Haven by Isaac Grillo:Â Double Cross Vodka, Elderflower Liqueur, Fresh Lemon Juice, Fresh Basil, Served with a splash of Cranberry Juice
Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink Market Special by Ryan Goodspeed:Â Double Cross Vodka, Cranberries, Apple Cider and Ginger Beer
Guests will get the chance to taste each creation and vote for their favorite. The winning drink will be crowned “Official Cheers to B! 2012 Cocktail.” The main bar will also feature a Double Cross Dirty Martini (served with truffled blue cheese-stuffed olives) and a Double Cross Pear Martini. The event will also include a live and silent auction component.
Sounds like there’ll be gluttonous amounts of food and drink to go around – and all for the sake of a good cause. We can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday night.
Tickets for the event run $ 100 per person and can be purchased at Mixology Competition Saturday in Fort Lauderdale
Welcome back! I’m going to play at least one Fizz game and one Graves game to check out the new skins today. Let’s see how this goes. Check out www.learntheleague.com to learn about my complete League of Legends book! This show is live Monday-Friday starting at 3 PM Pacific, right here on YouTube. There’s no set end time, but Tuesdays & Thursdays will be shorter. WHAT I PLAY Generally speaking, I am strongest at the Ranged AD Carry role, and am pretty good at jungling. I can competently play each other role, but they are not my preference. AP Caster is my weakest role and the role you are least likely to see me play. My favorite champions are Olaf, Sivir and Urgot. I do consider fan requests in regards to who I play. However, keep in mind that I play this game to relax and enjoy myself, so I’ll always consider my own preference. If I’m playing a champion I’m unfamiliar or out of practice with, understand that my performance will be significantly below where it would be with practice. FAN INTERACTION I make an effort to check out what people are saying both on YouTube and in the in-game chatroom. However, I can get distracted if I’m focused in a match, and I will occasionally not see a comment. I play League of Legends with subscribers all the time. To join one of these, make an account on the North American servers. Once you’re in the NA client, join the chatroom (bottom right of the client, middle button) named ‘Ciderhelm.’ I will announce on stream that I’m inviting … The Daily League – Graves, Fizz, Urgot (Ep. 4)
