Two-stage ARC giveaway!

It's time for another ARC giveaway here in my weird little corner of the world. This time, it's going to be a two-fer. Specifically, we're having both a contest and a random drawing. If you comment at all, you'll be entered in the random drawing for an ARC of An Artificial Night. If you comment and participate in the contest, you'll be entered both in the random drawing, and in the judged portion of the giveaway. Ready? Awesome.

Suggested by talkstowolves, our contest for today is:

"Design signature cocktails or desserts for major characters/places in the Tobyverse."

What does the Luidaeg drink on a Friday night? What's Toby's favorite way to get wasted? How many virgin cocktails can Quentin down before he reaches legal age? Whip up something intoxicating and put it in the comments for the world to see.

The random drawing will be held Monday, July 12th. Voting on the cocktail/dessert competition* will begin the same day, and continue through July 15th. As no actual drinking is involved, you don't have to be twenty-one to enter, and there are lots of websites happy to help you out.

(*If we receive fewer than five entries, I won't do open judging, and the prize will be awarded based on how much I want to drink your cocktail or eat your pie.)

Game on!

Making these up

For Toby's Mother:
Ginger ale and pomegranate juice, with a hefty dose of gin and a splash of bitters, on the rocks. (Especially if the bitters contain wormwood.)
Garnished with a flower of belladonna.

Tybalt's Seduction (For Toby)
A glass of champagne with 1-2 shots of St. Germaine. (Elderflower liquor. True, dangerous faerie wine stuff. Tastes like berries and flowers and magic.) Serve to Toby--preferably the Morning After, or at a classy dinner the Night Before.
