Er, OK, you used Limonata for lemon soda.

What kind of vodka did you use?

(For me, stocking the bar is always the hard part...)

Could you explain "muddled"? And what is a "simple syrup"?

Thanks -

"Muddling" is light crushing to release juices. You can read a (loving) description here: http://allthemarmalade.blogspot.com/2006/06/join-great-muddle-class.html

"Simple Syrup" is a sugar solution used for sweetening drinks. You can find a recipe here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Simple-Syrup/Detail.aspx

Thanks for the Glacier Park; I love rum drinks. The Vodka Jengibre sounds enthralling. Buenos Aires has so many unusual concoctions, and this makes it (almost) feel like I'm there. As for the grand prize winner, iced tea drinks remind me of the first time I tried Long Island Iced tea. It was memorable, but not pleasant. However, I'll definitely be including this list in my library of cocktails.

What a difficult job your judges had!
