Alcademics

(update! The contest was just extended until July 28)

Hey you bartender! *waves dollar bill, snaps fingers* Hurry up!

The deadline to enter the Appleton Estate Reserve Remixology Contest is July 26, which is the day after Tales of the Cocktail ends, which is the day you swear off drinking. So you should probably enter this contest now-ish rather than later-ish. 

Word on the street is that creativity is important in this one, so you might avoid choosing a Bob Marley song even though he is from Jamaica. Contest rules also state that you need to be a US citizen with no criminal record (sorry, half of you!) and that the drink shouldn't contain any seasonal ingredients (sorry, locavores!), and that you should have a valid passport in case you get flown to Jamaica for your prize (sorry, people who don't want to go to Jamaica for a prize!). 

So go ahead and take that song that's been on repeat in your head (California Girls?, Somebody to Love?,  The Brady Bunch Theme Song?), make an Appleton drink to accompany it, and enter the contest here.
