Relax, big spender, we want your knowledge, not your credit card info. If you know about something you think we should know about, let us know (so we can then pretend that we knew about it all along.) Send a tip.

  • Bryan Swanson

    Ingredients:
    2 oz Bulleit bourbon
    1 oz Berentzen Apfelkorn
    1/8 oz Laphroaig 10-year scotch
    2 dashes Angostura bitters

    Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir vigorously for 20-30 seconds. Strain into ice-filled rocks glass.

    John Dietl

    Ingredients:
    1.5 oz. London Dry Gin
    0.5 oz. Bonded Apple Brandy
    1 tsp. simple syrup (1-to-1 sugar to water)
    4 drops Orange Bitters
    1 lemon twist

    1. Pour the Gin, the Apple Brandy, the simple syrup, and the bitters into a mixing vessel.
    2. Stir with ice.
    3. Strain into a cocktail glass.
    4. Garnish with a lemon twist.

    Winner: Bryan Swanson
    Score: 4-1
    Game Summary: Swanson's is a strong, classic, sexy drink that's dangerously quaffable. Dietl's is a very good cocktail but perhaps better suited for summer, and for the MBG (Magnificent Bastard Girlfriend). They would make a really cute couple.
