I can’t believe it’s less than a week til my big blogiversary party. Free booze for two hours generously provided by the fine folks at Martin Miller’s Gin and Partida Tequila. Damian Windsor, my fave bartender from Gordon Ramsay at The London, created a special cocktail menu for the occasion which the Bar Lubitsch bartenders will be serving:

• Bee’s Knees: Martin Miller’s gin lemon with runny honey — sooo yummy.
• Margarita: Partida blanco tequila with cucumber foam and agave nectar.
• Siesta: Partida reposado tequila, Campari and grapefruit — sorta like the Sculaccione at Osteria Mozza.

After the free liquor stops flowing, stick around for the dj, dancing and Bar Lubitsch’s yummy specialty cocktails available at the cash bar.

Leyna’s Cupcakes will supply their award-winning cupcakes for the party. Because nothing pairs with cocktails as well as cupcakes, my friends.

Get there in the first hour (before 9pm) and enter to win one of the giveaway prizes. There will be giveaways from Leyna’s Cupcakes, South, La Bijou Belle Jewelry, Citizen Smith and more. And if you happen to be sporting one of my CoC t-shirts at the party, you’ll get five entries in the giveaway. I’ll start drawing names out of the hat at 9 so if you come after, you’re SOL.

RSVP to attend. However, this does not guarantee admittance so make sure to get there early.

I can’t wait to meet everyone. Most of you I’ve only known through your blogs, emails, tweets and comments. It’ll be good to put faces with names.

EVENT: TUESDAY, AUGUST 5 at 8pm
