Last few hours of the campaign and we unlocked another stretch goal! This was one of my secret stretch goals, and I'm so happy I get to reveal it to you now!
As you're probably aware, I partnered with Adrift here in Denver to host a release party for Spider Island. As a part of the event, they created three special cocktails, which I'll be sharing with everyone as a stretch reward!
I'm working with Adrift to design the cards and finalize the flavors for home, but I'll give you a little sneak peak of what drinks will be available:
Xianite Shot This sparkly shooter might not give you superpowers, but it's sweet flavor and edible glitter will put some pep in your step ⚡
Non-Alcoholic Far Island Lemonade A twist on your classic lemonade, this full-bodied, non-alcoholic option is perfect for folks who have to drive home at the end of the night. Just be sure to keep it between the buoys ⛵
Fernfruit Sangria My favorite drink of the bunch, this sangria combines red wine and pomegranate for a sweet-yet-tart taste. Spider Aunties rejoice! 🕷️
In addition to the Adrift drinks, I'll also have a special concoction of my own. It's no secret that I drink a lot of coffee, and no recipe pack would be complete without a little bit of java for when you're up late finishing that last chapter.
Tess' Favorite Cold Brew Coffee This marshmallow-coconut drink will help you through any deadline
And if you want to try any of these drinks in person, check out the release events. The Spider Island Release Party will be at Adrift Tiki Bar, July 14th at 5 p.m. and the Silent Book Club will be at Haven Coffee and Books, July 18th at 10 a.m.
Lastly, a quick update on Secret Stretch Goal 2. I'll be honest, I'm not sure we're going to hit this one since we're less than two hours away from the campaign close 😂 Just in case, our goal for this one is going to be $4,000.
What a campaign! This has been a long one, but thanks so much to everyone who backed the project. I worked so hard on this book, and I'm so glad to have this opportunity to share it with you all!
