Lack of money for/lack of ingredients for tiki drinks… the cramped confines of a dorm room and the lack of a proper light box or studio… You know, the usual. Nice shots though, everyone.

I have no real excuse for not participating beyond intrinsic laziness.

Please do have another contest, and I will do my best to participate.

I think it is a fun idea!

Oooooh! I love Jimmy’s Mai Tai. There is something about an orchid garnish, whether on a drink or food, that just lifts my spirits.

I didn’t get anything in because I’m still working on a decent light box. I also found one ready to go, and have dropped a few hints that it would be a nice gift….

I’m honored… I’m surprised….. I’m glad you liked the photos.

The vessel in question is a Janus Mug from Spain, and the two side pockets are actually for a dry-ice fog effect. I didn’t have any dry-ice so I switched back to my favorite of Fire.

Wooo! How exciting. I can’t believe it :)

I don’t love blender drinks, either, but the pina colada just screams tiki for me, and the unblended versions just ain’t the same.

I’d love to play along in other photo contests. What’s the next theme? :D

My lack of participation was due to the absence of a decent camera, which I’ve since corrected. So, I assure you my participation in another cocktail photo contest. I’d love to see it happen.

Nice pictures. As for me I just seem so busy with stuff. When I do something, I want to do it right. So that usually requires and investment in time, which seems to be in short supply. But, definitely do another photo contest. Look at Mixology Monday, it started off with a handful of people and once had maybe four people participate. It’s grown, and so will your photo showdown.
