Twang wins 5 Addy Awards

The ADDY Awards is the world's largest advertising competition with over 40,000 entries annually. Founded in Florida in 1960, it was adopted by the American Advertising Federation, a not-for-profit industry association, as a national competition in 1968. The American Advertising Federation still is in charge of administering this prestigious competition to this day.

The ADDY Awards is unique among other advertising creative competitions in that it is the only competition that includes three levels of judging: local, regional, and national. Winning an ADDY at each level qualifies the work to progress to the next higher level.

Awards presented are Gold and Silver ADDY Awards for professional and student entries. The ADDY award logo and trophy is a stylized "Star A".

Twang Inspired Spicy Beer Cocktail Recipe

The Cocktail Spice Chili-Lime Bloody Mary Sea Salt rimmed Michelada is very interesting beer cocktail that is tantalizing to your taste buds and its recipe can vary as much as the Bloody Mary.  What you're essentially doing with this beer drink is spicing up your beer to your personal taste with different spices.  The pleasant intensity of the Ancho-style chili peppers plus the distinctive tang of sea salt deliver the Twang kick.  The lime juice chills everything out and depending on which sauces you use and how much of each, it can become a very spicy mixed drink. The Michelada is a popular Mexican drink and really is best with one of the native beers like Tecate, XX’s or any other Mexican Import.

Ingredients:

12 oz. of beer

4 Dashes of Tabasco sauce (or to taste)

4 Dashes of Worcestershire sauce

2 Dashes of Maggi

2 Dashes of Celery Salt

1 Entire juice of a lime 

Splash of Olive juice

Fresh ground pepper to taste

4 oz. Bloody Mary Mix, Clamato Juice, or Tomato Juice (or to taste)

Preparation:

Coat a 22 oz. chilled pilsner glass with lime then rim with the Cocktail Spice Chili-Lime Bloody Mary Sea Salt.  Use the 22 oz. pilsner glass so that you are able to use all the ingredients and beer in one serving.  Pour all the ingredients over ice in the glass.  Pour the beer and enjoy!

Garnish with a celery stock, olives, and a lime.
