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.

  • Michael Oakley

    Ingredients:
    2 oz tanquery 10 gin
    1/2 oz campari
    1/2 oz st. Germain
    1/4 oz luxardo maraschino liquor
    1/8 oz orgeat
    2 dashes Fee's barrel aged whiskey bitters

    Stir with twice the amount of ice you usually use and garnish with an almond flake

    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: John Dietl
    Score: 3-2
    Game Summary: Oakley's cocktail was called "exciting" by one judge, but the majority of the others could not conceive of finishing the whole thing. Plus it's a bit fussy. When we have the Spectacular Bitch cocktail contest, this could be the winner. Dietl's drink is simple, beautiful, enjoyable.
