A quarter of a decade had come and gone, a 25th birthday, surrounded by loved ones, who cherished her dear. Cocktails on the rocks, sipped out of thirsty mouths, laughter in warm open hearts, tears of joy streaming down friends faces. Pink balloons and gift wrapped presents for a country girl lost in the big city of London, where the sheep turn into speeding trains and the cows give way to large glass towers, a world made of glass and ice. But beyond the 'urban' landscape lay Tupi, where birthdays were made to be celebrated, birthday cake and candles placed before her very own eyes, she blew the candles out. She was never one for celebrating birthdays, but something about this year was different, friends were determined to celebrate her big day. 'No Fuss' she cried, but of course they had other plans, supplying her with copious amounts of food and drink, until she rolled on home. And Tupi's partnership with @adwaiz was no different; the perfect hotspot for after work drinks, or a birthday celebration with over zealous friends. A raucous symphony of euphemisms ensued and an emoji battle commenced, one for the ages, not a dry eye in sight. But it was the tittle tattle of the cocktails that danced among the food that piqued our interest the most; blueberry mojitos sliding down waterpark slides while the mango Daiquiri hula hooped across sandy shores. A delightful hodge podge of world foods in a array of puzzle pieces to explore came next, Asparagus and pea risotto, creamy and smooth, leaping into a patchwork of copious cheese. And the cheese 'fest' continued to commence, halluomi skewers enshrouded in tart guava jam. The night wasn't over just yet as we waltzed outside into endless possibilities, where the drinks would dance in perfect harmony and the world around them would lay sleeping, in a cocktail infused slumber. A special thanks to these lovelies for being part of my birthday week! Sign up to http://liketk.it/2xzc5 @liketoknow.it #liketkit to shop the look
