For our July recipe contest, we want to see your zest for life!

This month we teamed up with Microplane for a “Creative Cocktails” contest.

Microplane graters are top of the line and simply a must in a creative cooks’ kitchen. Microplane graters have distinguished themselves from other graters by using that signature chemical process to create ultra sharp cutting edges. Unlike stamped graters, they effortlessly cut through hard and soft foods without tearing or shredding. They are ideal for grating or shaving fresh ingredients into cocktail recipes.

The theme this month is “Creative Cocktails.”  These can be adult beverages or mock-tails that everyone can enjoy.
