A few months ago, I helped out on the committee for Kellogg's annual Charity Auction Ball which is the annual charity formal that Chris' MBA program puts on (check us out at the event here, here, & here). This year they raised over 70K for three different local charities through silent auctions. The auctions are made up of typical items like sports tickets and vacations as well as the very popular "student donations" where students "donate" social events or outings that fellow students can bid on. Chris and Josh donated a cocktail class in our home for 6 lucky students to enjoy. We hosted the lucky winners a few weeks ago and had such a great time (although it didn't feel too terribly different than a regular Saturday night around our place!)
Chris and Josh created a menu of 6 different cocktails for our guests including classic recipes (like this one), a fabulous punch, and one original recipe the guys came up with. I designed a small booklet for each of the guests to take home with all of the recipes from the evening because quite honestly after 6 cocktails, I dont expect anyone to remember cocktail recipe proportions! Inspired by this amazing wedding program, I placed the recipe instructions on top of fun summer-inspired images that I altered into almost transparent backgrounds. I then printed the recipes four up on a regular letter sized page, cut them out and assembled them together with a simple gold brad in the corner. You can download the full files for these cocktail recipes at the bottom of this post!
After having so much fun creating the video from our anniversary weekend, I decided to try out making a short video from the cocktail class and I am equally pleased with how this one turned out! I hope you enjoy taking part in the evening through this video as much as I do.
Lovely. Music was fab and it all makes me crave a delightful beverage with a citrus twist delicately rimmed round the glass. More of these please!
