Martinis 2015 is a fun way to celebrate the work of Healing House; Hope for Grieving Children support their mission to provide grief support for Acadiana children who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling. All services are provided free of charge to the children and families in Acadiana.

Join CJ and Debbie Ray on Monday mornings as they visit with all the participating restaurants and sample their martinis. Then on Tuesday, you can cast your vote for Lafayette’s ABSOLUT Best Martini. $1 = 1 Vote! The money is your way of donating to Healing House – vote often and as many times as you want either at healing-house.org or at each restaurant.

Today, Brian Thom from Social Southern Table and Bar visited with CJ and Debbie Ray and made their Martinis 2015 contest cocktail, the Oooh, Mami. It contains fresh pressed watermelon juice, Absolut vodka, lime juice, and ginger liquer.
