    William Whitfield

    Vodka (I use a grain vodka)
    Sweet Vemouth (any brand)
    Canton (Domaine De Canton)
    Whole lemon (for the fresh juice)

    Instructions:
    fill shaker with ice
    add vodka (50%)
    add Vermouth (40%)
    cut lemon in half and squeeze into shaker (some pulp is okay)
    add a splash of Canton(10%)
    shake (about 30 shakes...)
    pour into martini glass
    garnish with lemon twist

    Winner: Tom Brown
    Score: 5-0
    Game Summary: Whitfield's cocktail was too puckery, even for the deck or boat. Brown's was a classic cocktail with the right amount of absinthe and perfect peach note.
