As the field of mixology continues to grow, and the public becomes more aware of “the art and craft of the cocktail,” people are throwing cocktails parties at home, again, which means they need some basic home-bar essentials to make drinks.The Liquid Muse has partnered with PAMA Pros to give you a chance to win their bar kit, which includes a shaker, jigger and strainer, as well as a copy of Gaz Regan’s indispensible guide for any home-entertainer or professional barkeep, The Annual Manual for Bartenders, 2012.It is easy and fun it is to enter to WIN:This contest takes place on Twitter, and gives you a chance to tell your craziest, wackiest, funniest, weirdest bartending (or bar-attending) experience … in 140 characters or less! You can tell your story in 2 or 3 tweets, if necessary, as long as you include #TLMGiveAway so we can find all entrants.All of the stories will be posted on The Liquid Muse Blog, too, at the end of each month, so everyone can enjoy a chuckle and vote for your favorite.
