We're Having a Party, and You're Invited!

tandt.jpgWe here at Phillyist love throwing a good party almost as much as we love running a contest. Having both at once makes us positively giddy!

See, Phillyist turned two about a month ago, and while we didn’t celebrate on the day, we’re all about a belated shindig, and one of our favorite places in the whole city, World Café Live, puts on a shindig called Cream, where the best local artists get a chance to show their stuff, so on August 5, Phillyist and the World Café will be co-hosting said shindig, and we’ll be offering free hors d’oevures for the first hour. (C’mon, you know you’ve always wanted to meet us in person.)

Here’s where the contest part comes in. Leave a comment (you have to be registered!) with your best recipes for “The Phillyist,” a mixed drink that you think sums up what we’re all about. Mellow rum, tequila with a bite, or maybe a splash of hometown lager? We’ll taste test, choose a winner, and the creator will get a special prize (to be given at the party). The bar will also be serving a reduced drink special of the winning entry all evening.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with, and see you at the party!

Here is my drink recipe. I'd call it Schuykill Punch (or Sure Kill Punch):

Equal parts Tuaca, Du Kang, Puerto Rican rum, and Jameson with a splash of Manischewitz wine. Add Coke until you can actually drink it.

OK, how about this one, then. It's a little more realistic--like a Philadelphia Ice Tea:

1 part Stoli blueberry
1 part Jose Cuervo
1 part Bicardi Limon
1 part Seagram’s
1 part triple sec
1 part pomegranate juice
Splash of coke
Dash of sugar/splenda

Okay, okay. One more and I promise this one is good. Villa Italia Italian Blood Orange Soda (from Trader Joe's), Absolut Citron, and a sprig of mint.

Yum, right?
