let the games begin!
i love this! at the end of July the XXX Summer Olympics will get underway in London and even the airline industry is gearing up for the games in a festive way. i’ve just flown on Delta & featured in their inflight magazine is a fun idea for cocktails – some of which are available on board. here are the 3 medal-themed drinks + recipes.
mix and enjoy the Olympic Games with a metallic glow!

i’d like to try them all but not all at once or in even in the same day! good thing the Olympics are at least a few days long 🙂
Hmmm, #2 sounds pretty good, I must say…

i think they all sound good about now 😉
Keystone sounds wonderful – your enthusiasm makes me want to head there now!
These are some stiff sounding drinks! I need my liquor a little more disguised. But perfect – as I think a medal is deserved for drinking something so potent. 😉
Fun idea!
