If you're over the age of 21, can mix a decent cocktail and have the ability to combine up to six disparate elements without ending up with sludge (or worse yet, a Long Island Iced Tea), your fishy friends at Ivar's [1] would sure like to hear from you.
Their Fall Fusion Drink Contest, running now through the end of the month, invites all amateur alchemists to create "a new drink recipe that would make Ivar proud." The top prize is a $500 Ivar's gift card and a spot on the fall and winter drink menus.
Details and rules can be found on the restaurant's Web site [2]. In case you're wondering, I can't find anything in the rules against using clam juice, so if you'd like to claim that advantage, go for it.
