1. New Layout

• For the most part, it is the same layout as the previous site… it is a little wider than the previous design though.
• Instead of having the specials listed above the header, we dropped it underneath to make it easier for you to access the specials. We also listed the Bars’ specials first because it is one the most popular page on the site.
• We also added some pages at the top such as our shots archive, some photos from past events and of course the blog.

2. Color Scheme

• We had the darker layout which focused on orange with blue in our logos. As you can tell, we went a little lighter and put the focus on blue with accents of orange. This should be much easier on the eyes!

3. Home Page

• The previous website had the blog right on the front page, made the site load slower and just seemed like an odd place for it. Since the site is all about drink specials, we wanted to put the focus on it and let people know what the site is about every time they get to the Home page. Plus, we are able to focus your attention to the most important content now. Listing just one ‘shot of the week’ on the front page, our custom drinks (no longer lost in the shuffle) and any other important news for the Marquette community (such as opportunities with Last Call Marquette!)

4. Blog

• Now that we have moved the blog, we are going to treat the blog more as an actual blog! Before, we recognized that it was our landing page and we didn’t want to get too carried away. We are going to be adding a few new writers. We have one so far, he recently turned 21 and will be sharing his stories of drinking in Marquette. We are looking for a girl that is turning 21 or going to be 21 soon to write for us too. Leave a comment if you think you have what it takes to be a writer in our blog!

That pretty much covers all the changes, we are looking to expand our presence in the community by growing our street team. For more information, go to the Home page and shoot me an email!

Lemon Drop

• 1/2 oz Vodka
• 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
• 1 sugar cube

Now, I know there are a lot of ways that this shot is done. With this recipe, you muddle the sugar cube and shake it up with the vodka and lemon juice. Another recipe would have you use an ounce of vodka and a splash of Lemon Juice, while putting the sugar around the rim of the glass. Then there is my personal favorite – regardless the proportions of vodka and lemon juice – after taking the shot, suck on a lemon slice that is covered in sugar. This shot is available at most bars in Marquette, enjoy!

Dreamsicle

• 1/2 oz Tequila Rose

Panty Dropper

• 1/3 oz. Bacardi 151

• 1/3 oz. Amaretto

• 1/3 oz. Southern Comfort

• Red Bull

Alright, pour the Bacardi 151, Amaretto and SoCo into a shot glass, then drop it into the Red Bull. Simple, yes it’s a bomb! Now, you can increase the proportions for the shot, just keep all three equal. I had about 3 in a row at the bar last weekend and they were great! This bomb shot is available at most bars in Marquette, tell ‘em you want LastCallMqt.com’s shot of the week… if they don’t know what you’re talking about send them to the site! Cheers!

Bomb Pop

• 4-6 oz. Mike’s Hard Lemonade
• 1 oz. Blue UV Vodka
• Splash of Grenadine

In a highball glass or pint glass, pour about half the bottle of Mike’s Hard Lemonade (4-6 ounces). Then take a shot glass, fill it up with the Blue UV Vodka, splash the Grenadine over the Blue UV. Drop the shot glass into the Mike’s Hard Lemonade and chug! It’s got all 3 colors you need in an American shot… red, white and blue! This shot is available at most bars in Marquette (if they don’t have Mike’s… just use lemonade instead), cheers!
