"Star of the Bar" Contest!

Yesterday, I watched my oldest daughter cook on the main stage at the National Restaurant Association Show, and today I will watch my youngest, Kara, compete for a grand prize of $5,000 in a beverage contest sponsored by Bacardi.  Here is her video entry and recipe that got her a spot as one of 6 competitors in the contest.
