Why I’m a sore loser- the ‘Next Gineration Cocktail Challenge starring New Amsterdam.’

In the end it was the Selena Ricks of the dizzy fizz who ended up (to my chagrin and yes disbelief kids, I know isn’t life too cruel?- blah) winning the challenge with her Green Market Smash and coming up with a ‘bonza (that’s Australian for amazing for all you infidels…) recipe. All in a all it was a too much, and somehow I managed to behave myself until I arrived home and cursed to an unsuspecting moon- “I hate being a sore loser.”
