Thank you to the Parrotheads and the MOTM organizing committee for putting on a great MOTM event this year. For the first time in three years, the weather has been great 79 and sunny can't complain. As an added bonus Jimmy Buffet showed up and rocked out in a free concert on Duval Street.

MOTM is a great event and this year we launched new Barmaid Color and Spice Complete Packages at the event.

We normally only post post cocktail recipes on our blog; however, one of our new retailers caught our attention based on a recent re-order. Dash of Thyme in Denville NJ is a Specialty Gourmet Foods & Gift Store and they are currently carrying our fall seasonal spices Cinnamon Harvest Cocktail Sugar and Mischief Maker Halloween Cocktail Kit.

The re-order didn't stand out as much as the story that went behind it. Dash of Thyme was affected by Hurricane Irene. The store was flooded and recently re-opened. So if you are in the I-80 corridor of NJ, stop in to a great retailer. Zac from Lime Tree Cove recently was in the area and snapped these photos of Lime Tree Cove Products at Dash of Thyme.
