CHEERS!

Today is Smartini Barmaid ASHLEY'S birthday! Wahoo! And so in honor of this occasion, I'd like to serve up a round of drinks inspired by our expert bartender and fabulous drinking buddy.

Everybody drink:
1. A mug of Butterbeer! for Ash's unmatched love for Harry Potter.
2. A Dirty Smartini! for all the bad things Ash would do if alone in a room with John Mayer.
3. An oatmeal cookie! But not the shot, I repeat NOT THE SHOT, just the cookie. Preferably with nuts and white chocolate chips.
4. A Cosmopolitan! for Ash's love of shoes and (obvi) Sex & the City.
5. A glass of wine! chosen by the girl herself, because she's got a knack for these things.
6. A Skittle Shot! just because (confer with google) it exists.

All right now, y'all. I'm opening up the bar to our fellow staff members and bar flies, inviting each of you to propose your own toast to Ashley in the comments. Let's try for a grand total of 29!

Happy Birthday, Ash!
Love,
The Smartini Gals

10 tips left at the bar:

7. A Manhattan! since she has peeps there.

8. A Hard Lemonade! because she's all about putting the squeeze on Dillon.

9. A Jack & Coke! because she's a Southern girl.

10. A shot of Tequila! because they both make you want to dance.

11. A Screwdriver! since she's got a house on the brain.

12. Another glass of wine, but this time a Blush! for all those scandalous romance novels that she reads.

13. A big, long pull from a Fountain of Youth! since Ashley is still rockin' the 20's.

Happy Birthday, Ashley! I can't wait for your celebratory dance on the bar!

14. A mimosa! A delicious way to get the celebrations going early, may it take you back to our adventures in San Fran, a trip which always reminds me of old friends (who, as they say, truly are the best), and may it get you thinking about other wonderful adventures to come in the year ahead.

Hope your birthday is wonderful in every way!

15. A bottle of ____ lager! because it shares her name.

16. A Diet Coke! simply because she loves them so much.

17. A glass of pink champagne! a pretty, sparkly beverage for a pretty, sparkly girl!

24. A little sip of something that makes you shudder! since she's such a shutter bug (Jager, perhaps?)

26. A bloody mary - because after all this drinkin' (see above) - a little "hair of the dog" should help her get through the day after!

Happy birthday (a day late) Ash! We love you!

I'm also late to the bar, but seems the party is still going and I need to get the last 3 rounds:

27. Moonshine - because it's home-brewed and Ash is deeply rooted in her family.

28. Buttery Nipple? Just because we've all been waiting to be able to post it, right?

29. And finally, a round of Wouldn't You Like To Have Sex With THIS Bartender?
just because such a drink exists! There were quite a few choices, but that sounded like a good way to finish up, right? Especially after seeing what a fabulous person she is.
