Summer
is finally here, especially with the onset of Memorial Day weekend finally
here. It comes as no surprise that some well-known alcohol brands begin to
launch brand new flavors, very fitting for the start of summer. Svedka launched
two new flavors, Strawberry Colada and Orange Crème Pop, both screaming to be a
cold refreshing drink in the sweltering heat bound to happen. 
Upon
entering the event I was greeted with a beautifully decorated glass, drowned in
a mixed drink I couldn’t remember. The room was a bit sparse, but plenty of
people there mingling and getting to know people. As I sipped my first drink, I
felt the smoothness of the cocktail flow from my straw, it was phenomenal.
Being the only one there, I had to make friends with the bartenders, and what
friends they became.
The night progressed into a
mixology session where one of the bartenders became the teacher of the night.
That is where the guests got to make their own cocktails, and mingle with those
people sitting at their table. This session however became a contest to see
which table can produce the best mixed drink. The competition got fiery. Each
table thought they were doing something amazing.
The
first round was rather interesting; we learned what to do and what not to do
for the second round. My table lost the first round, which was sad because our
drink was mixed graciously; we just failed to place garnishes. The second round
was my time to shine. I became the designated bartender and I had to make sure
my table won. I mixed the Svedka Strawberry Colada, with some pineapple and
orange juice, and coconut crème. Mixed it very well. It was a pleasant delight.
And couldn’t forget the garnishes. Sadly, my table didn’t make it past the
second tasting because there weren’t enough garnishes. But my table surely
drank the cocktail.
