It's about time the do-it-yourself community got together to benefit humankind -- by designing the best cocktail and mocktail. The winners for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixtures in a Cocktails vs. Mocktails Contest were just announced on Instructables, which co-sponsored the contest with ThinkGeek.
If you need a time-suck and party inspiration, you should page through the contest finalists, where you'll find such creations as the apple cider martini (a martini glass made from an apple and cinnamon stick, filled with spiked apple cider) to the color-changing martini (a dry martini that changes from blue to fuschia at it chills).
The best part of this contest is that every entrant includes explicit instructions -- many with videos -- on how to create the crazed concoctions. As for themes, there seems to be a big emphasis on turning food into drinking containers and making things change colors.
For pure drinkability (thank you Budweiser for introducing that word into the lexicon) I'd have to go with the Lemonie Molotov Cocktail (ginger ale and lemonade) and The Ginger Mojito (ginger root, soda water, lemon concentrate and honey) for mocktails. A Mexican Martini (a cross between a margarita and a martini) sounds like it could be a drink for the porch.
And the biggest stretch: The Cotton Bawls Cocktail -- an energy drink combined with cotton candy in a martini glass. Energy drinks don't really mix well with anything, and I have difficulty believing cotton candy is the answer as to what should go with your Red Bull.
