All items, drinks, images and prep ideas are getting noted here for use in the 2016 Booze Fest Prep and Play. Most of it is OCC info, images, links or descriptions. Enjoy!

If you're part of the Alchemist's Fire Complex booth (you help with Alchemist Fire, Anniston Gardens Distillery, or the new Moon Wake General Store) then post any suggested items, links or things here as well.

Being added the growing pile of cargo to take to the event grounds for 2016 Booze Fest, Ammy finally had new signs for the stores and the complex itself created and they'd arrived. She unboxed them and grinned at how well they turned out. She'd put them on display by the staging area in the garage where boxes waited to be loaded into the Leroy's truck later this week for the event. Here is what the whole crew and family would see in the garage.

Boxes were added to the staging area as well with store apparel for people to get for free for visiting the booth or free when making orders for various products from each store. She opened a few boxes to double check they'd been inventoried and packed right. She wrote note cards and put them in each box to remind her and the others what piece of clothing was for what offer.

Box 1: We give these vests out to anyone visiting the booth if they want a vest. Each vest is marked for AF, AGD or MWGS. Be sure to stock them in the right booth slots.

With help from the family, she'd brought down several boxes and a few crates with bottles in them to get cozy by the signs. Ammy ticked off a list of items on her clipboard that the Alchemist's Fire was selling in their portion of the booth.

Coaster's of Hospitality in four styles - Check

Green Clover Tonic as a hangover remedy - Check

Phoenix Weed Potion for first aid kits - Check

A Charmers Sip for a few daring rogues - Check

Cup O' Corge gift sets of 5lbs whole beans, 2 ceramic cups of blue and white, and sugar bowl - Check

Aged Nagra for the daring - Check

Tea Sampler Box with sample tins of each flavor - Check


-Dragon Iced Tea - New Item!
Clarified green tea, sweetened with honey and ginger and enchanted to stay ice cold no matter the the weather. Looks like water, tastes like great, refreshing iced tea! Great for everyone, dragons included! Free samples so try it out!

She looked over the items and made sure she had business cards shoved into a crate as well as release forms for the bottles of Nagrah. She grinned being the only licensed dealer outside of Den City allowed to sell the Lupe Whiskey. For good reasons too, it could strip the armor off a tank.

Fleety was more than happy to be participating in this years Booze Fest especially with it being after the opening of hir very own store, Moon Wake General Store allowing hand crafted and fine quality Lupinossai made items be sold in Rhy'Din city from the various guilds and crafters in Den city. Shi'd carefully scoot put hir boxes next to Ammy's with a packing list of what all was in them and a note about them as well.

Box 1:

Foxy Hills Cocoary - Hot Chocolates

-Cayenne Day Break:
A rich, milk chocolate made from cocoa beans grown in the Old Country and blended with rich cream churned by local Den City cows and dollops of honey. Cayenne Day Break gives you a velvety sweetness that is accentuated by a peppery bite of cayenne pepper blended through the chocolate delight.

-Dog-Days Dark
A semi-sweet delight to sip warm or chilled, Dog-Days Dark is made from a locally grown Mt. Yasuo cocoa bean and only kissed with a hint of honey and cream giving you a dark chocolate sin to enjoy.

-Midnight Lobo
For the darkest of dark chocolate lover, if we could get Midnight Lobo any darker, it'd be pure cocoa powder that'd howl at the moon and ravage the country side. Drink it straight if you dare, but you may want to tame the bitter beast with something sweet and creamy.


Sassafras Liqueur Bottle and Three Whiskers Chocolate gift set:
Huuntahr's Sassafras Liqueur - Locally distilled by Dahneel Huuntahr who brings Huuntahr's Mark Artisan Root Beer for all to enjoy, now savor a pure Sassafras Liqueur to bring home that flavor of yester years lost to adulthood.

Three Whiskers Confectioner - The ladies of the the Three Whiskers have put their ears together to bring you a delicate morsel to enjoy that'll ensure you have a clean pallet each time. A light, silky smooth milk chocolate crafted from an Old Country recipe is worked into a square of love and care as slivers of almond and candied ginger are woven into the chocolate.

Box 2:
-Huuntahr's Artisan Root Beer

-Fizzy Cog - Carbonated Drinks from Moresh

Box 3:
-Large assortment of cookies, candies, snack bags and fruit from Den City crafters - Free, no charge -

-Bacon Popped Pop Corn: Test samples of popcorn popped using bacon fat instead of regular vegetable or canola oil. Local Den City crafter is curious as to how well the flavor will be received.

-Wide assortments of Llama wool knit caps, scarves, gloves, and bags for the upcoming winter season.

While all the prep had been going on, Ammy had been working on her alchemy skills but not with weird ingredients that could turn you into a duck or make you grow old in a blink of an eye. Oh no, she'd turn to practicing a bit of bartering and made up a drink out of some of the wares she had on hand for Booze Fest 2016 in honor of DJ Zazzy.

With some research and creative mixing she soon had coworkers and family trying the Blue Diva before calling the recipe good to sport at the Fest.

Crafted blend by Ammy Spiritor for Booze Fest 2016
Inspired and based off a rough formula of the 19th Century Sazerac using Rye Whiskey instead of Cognac.

Blue Diva

with garnish

Inspired by the creativity and distilling delights of the upcoming Booze Fest 2016. Alchemist's Fire has taken a hand in announcing a custom blended drink for Booze Fest 2016 in honor of Dj Zazzy. Using only the finest spirits from Anniston Gardens Distillery and Den City, we present to you for consumption and consideration the Blue Diva. Enjoy this cocktail blend of aged rye whiskey from Wolf's Bite thrumming the bass beat of the night as a bright rythm of citrus notes carry the music from the Nagrah just kissing the glass. Finish club scene in a glass with the smooth beat drop of clove from a splash of Evergreen Dream soda and mellow out cool down from the ginger infused sugar cube bringing you back to start the party all over again. If you feel the party scen isn't hopping enough, drop a diva in! Ask your tender for a wild rose garnish to kick the beats up and make your tongue dance all night long!

Ingredients:
- 2 Old Fashioned Glasses
- 5 cl Wolf's Bite Whiskey
- 1 cl Nagrah
- 1 cube of Ginger Infused Sugar Cube
- 2 dashes of Evergreen Dream
- Optional Garnish of Wild Rose

Preparation:
Rinse a chilled old-fashioned glass with Nagrah, add crushed ice, and set it aside. Note, blue after glow is common from the Nagrah and part of the effect of the drink. Do not panic. Stir the remaining ingredients over ice in the second old-fashioned and set it aside. Discard the ice and any excess Nagrah from the first glass and strain the second glass into the first glass. Add a bloomed, Wild Rose to the drink upon request. Sink to bottom of glass with spoon until bubbles dislodge. Serve straight up, without ice and enjoy.

The last thing for Ammy to tackle was helping Mirius round up six Llama's from the small impromptu ranch they'd made behind their home in Den City. Merly's Chaotic magic tend to bring Llama's into the house at random when the child was stressed or emotional so they had plenty of the critters around. Fleety had been using the wool for spinning and some of the family and craft guilds were using the yard in various goods, fabrics and clothing. What better way she thought to show where some of the goods came from in Moon Wake General Store than to set up a mini llama petting zoo right next to their booth at Booze Fest.

Once they had wrangled two whites, two browns and two blacks into a separate pen to be washed, groomed and readied, she stopped by a local printer in Den City and soon headed back to Alchemist's Fire Complex with a box full of Petting Zoo Gate passes to hand to people. She figured 10 silver crowns to pet cute llama's, get pictures with them and see the funds go towards the Dream Chasing Foundation was well worth it.
