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.

  • 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.

    Chris Gerber

    Ingredients:
    3 parts Plymouth Gin
    1 part High Proof Vodka (such as Red or Blue Label Stolichnaya)
    1 part Dry Vermouth

    Shake in chilled shaker over cracked ice, or stir, and strain into chilled cocktail glass, topping glass off with:

    Fever Tree Tonic Water (1/3 a bottle, or about 3 oz)

    and garnishing with a perfect MB's choice Lemon Twist

    Winner: David McCabe
    Score: 4-1
    Game Summary: Gerber's drink is a nice, upscale twist on the gin and tonic, but without somehow icing the tonic it was a touch warm. The lemon-eldeflower balance of McCabe's cocktail is pretty awesome. A pitcher of these would go great with a cricket test match.
