New Contest: Mocktails

We are currently in deliberation on last month's vodka cocktail contest and will have the results soon. In the meantime, I have opened a new contest that will cover June and July and this time we are going to deal with mocktails.

Non-alcoholic drinks, really? Yes, I want to see what you can do in a drink that does not rely on an alcoholic beverage. I have been hearing from many readers who are requesting more mocktail recipes and I've always thought that any good drink mixer (whether they be pro or amateur) should be able to create an impressive alcohol free drink upon request. It may require a little more creativity, especially if you are converting a spirited drink, but then again the simplest of mocktail mixes can be the best, just look at the classic Arnold Palmer and Shirley Temple. There is no reason that our non-alcoholic drinks have to be boring, in fact I'm of the firm belief that they should be just as interesting as any cocktail.

This challenge is quite simple: share an original mixed drink that has no alcohol. It could be your every day juice mix, a favorite homemade soda, a fun frozen cooler, your go to party punch, or even the kids' favorite snack time drink. I have also given you a deadline with the wiggle room of almost two months, so you have until July 26th to enter.
