The plan was to have everyone bring their favorite mix drink in a pitcher and several copies of the recipe. Everything was set up on a table in my downstairs living room. We had cups to sample each drink and everyone could take home several recipes.
The party was a hit. Twenty five women showed up, we had some drinks and got a few recipes. It was a fairly tame evening, considering the overabundance of booze available. A few left early, a few stayed late, and a few got rowdy (no need to name names here ;)
Whenever I have a crowd of people laughing, or drinking, or dancing in my tiny kitchen, I always wonder how I got so lucky to live in such an amazing community. I think everyone realized that this party was totally unnecessary. I mean, if you wanted to get a drink recipe, just google it. However, everyone made an effort to come out and socialize. It seems that people just get busier and busier as time goes on. I am glad to be surrounded by like-minded people. People who know that the value of a little time and effort towards friendships, neighbors, and community reaps its rewards. For that I am grateful and I will continue to throw my cheesy weeknight parties for my lovely neighborhood friends :)
