Good Friend has an annual holiday cocktail party and this year I contributed a drink recipe after a little bit of tinkering and created Gin-gle Bells.
It was very popular at this party but I forgot all about it until my Sainted Mother told me about an online magazine for the local area that was featuring a martini contest.
I sent in my entry and found out last night that I won! I won a dinner for four (I'll be taking Good Friend and His Beautiful Wife of course), limo transportation, AND my drink will be featured for the entire month on the menu of the restaurant and become a permanent addition after that!
The down side to winning is that I'm banned from Good Friend's party this year. Maybe I shouldn't have suggested that my drink be on the menu again but under the category of "award winning".
The restaurant is called Aquatini and it is in Newburyport, MA.

Posted by: Ashley on May 4, 2007 09:06 PMCongratulations Bob! You've certainly hit the big time now.
To think that I knew you way back when you were just a little blogger...
Thanks everyone! I will write a review for sure after we've been there and tell you how it went. I can't wait for my cocktail to be on Good Friend's menu this year as the "Award Winning Gin-gle Bells".
