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.

  • Carie L. Fuller

    Stir for 20 seconds.

    David McCabe

    Ingredients:
    1.5 Oz Dry Gin
    0.75 Oz St Germain Eldeflower Liqueur
    0.50 Oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
    Lemon Twist for Garnish

    This is a very simple cocktail, which gives it great mass appeal. Combine the gin, the St. Germain, and the lemon juice in a shaker. Fill with ice and shake. Now shake some more. And a bit more. When it's too cold to shake, just give it one or two more good shakes. Serve it up in a martini glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

    Winner: Carie L. Fuller
    Score: 5-0
    Game Summary: McCabe's "Southside-with-a-twist" will be mixed in the offices this summer. Fuller's somewhat fussy cocktail is smooth and easy drinking, and tough to stop at just one. The cocktail equivalent of Pringles! (This drink is currently 15-0 through three rounds.)
