Since we have our new Moxie-a-Go-Go look in place we thought we’d kick off the summer with a fun little contest giveaway!  Yay!  Free Stuff!  But hang on there, Bucko, you can’t get something for nuthin’ these days.  In this case it’s something for very little effort so that’ll just have to be good enough!    Lets cut to the prizes:

Grand Prize Winner will receive:

• A Cosmo Caddy, which includes a cocktail shaker, 4 cosmo glasses and a retro-esque carrier valued at $55.00 courtesy of LiquidPlanet.com
• A signed copy of The IT Girls Guide to Blogging with Moxie!
• A tube of Jaqua Hand Creme (flavor may vary!)

Two Runners-Up Winners will receive:

• A signed copy of The IT Girls Guide to Blogging with Moxie!
• A tube of Jaqua Hand Creme (flavor may vary!)

Here’s how to enter:

• Send us your favorite Summer cocktail recipe… your tried-and-true, your awesome party punch, your blended fruit favorites… whatever!  Send us your favorite Summer-themed cocktail recipes.  Drink recipes must include at least three (3) main ingredients (Garnish doesn’t count!  No rum and coke with limes you sneaks!)  For extra credit, include a recipe for a “pairing”, or a tasty snack to go with your cocktail.  You can get even *more* extra credit by posting your entry on your blog and sending us the link.
• Then, send an email with the subject “Moxie Girls Summer Cocktail Contest!” in the subject line to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).  Please include your full name (and nickname for announcement purposes if you would like to remain private) and a full address where your prizes will be sent.
• One entry per person.  You can get an extra entry into the contest if you include the aforementioned “pairing” or snack idea.  Like a 2-fer!  Make it a 3-fer by posting your recipe on your blog and linking back to our entry here. If you blog it, be sure to include the link to your entry in your submission so we know to give you an extra chance.  That’s up to three chances to win!  Winners will be drawn at random.

The winner(s) will receive full credit in our blog postings and mad kudos for their win, but any and all submissions become property of The Moxie Girls™ and we reserve the right to reprint, rename, or modify original recipes at our discretion for future use.  Trademarked and/or copywritten recipes submitted must contain the source of the recipe in order for it to be considered. Multiple entries, or entries missing information will be disqualified so make sure you include your recipe, name and address!

Contest will end at midnight EST June 6, 2008, so please have all entries in by then and we’ll announce the winners here on the blog on Monday, June 9, 2008.

A big thank-you to our friends at Jaqua Beauty and Liquid Planet who helped sponsor this contest.

Winners will be drawn at random out of a hat… or ice bucket, whichever we can find first.  The drawing will be recorded via video or webcam for authenticity.  So start mixing, and start sending those recipes!  Yum!
