Creative Challenge: Create a Quote

| Mac

Creative Challenge Number 6

We all have quotes we admire… Like Churchill’s: “The strongest argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter.” Or Oscar Wilde’s “Work is the curse of the drinking class”. But enough of glorifying those who came before us! Let’s invent our own and unleash it upon the world!

Here’s mine:

“Subvert your subconcious: Romanticize that which you have, and rationalize that which you lack. Your grass will grow greener.” – Mac Campbell

What’s yours?

Creative Challenge: Create a Cocktail

Creative Challenge Number 5

This week for our creative challenge we are inventing something you can drink! Go ahead! Dream up something you’ve never tried before and give it a whirl, you might be impressed. I am pleased to introduce the world premier of the Mojtini! Just in time for Movember, Christmas and other important drinking festivities!

Mojtini 

A Mojtini is essentially a mojito crossed with a martini… all the booze and none of the extras.

First and foremost with a drink of this boozy pedigree it is essential you start with good booze. I turn to my all time favourite gluten free, liquors: English Harbour 5 Year Vintage Rum, and Luksusowa Potato Vodka.

Recipe 

  • Shaker 3/4’s full of ice
  • 1 non heaping teaspoon of Minute Maid Lime-aid
  • 2 shots of Luksusowa Potato Vodka
  • 1 shot of English Harbour Rum
  • 2 mint leaves added to shaker
  • 1 mint leaf to garnish, post shaking & pouring
Directions
Add ingredients in order as above. Shake vigorously. With this pacticular martini you really want to shatter and melt the ice (definitely shaken not stirred) so as to take a tiny edge off the straight booze. Pour and garnish with a fresh mint leaf… Enjoy this rocket ship of a libation. It will make you think of the finest things in life and a poetic lackadaisical existence all at once.

Creative Challenge Number 4

The classic intro art assignment has arrived! I want you to grab a pea, pepper or orange from your local grocer, open it up a bit to make it interesting and draw, draw like you’ve never drawn before! Take an hour or two and let it rip.

Whip out that pencil and collection of blank paper, that perhaps has been collecting dust somewhere in your home and draw a still life. Post it online and share it with us!
