Not sure if you should wear that Tommy Bahama shirt out tonight? The magnificent bastard is here to help. Go ahead. Ask away.

tip the MB

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.

  • Chris Gerber

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

    Instructions:
    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

    Matthew

    Ingredients:
    2oz Plymouth Gin
    1/4oz Creme de Violette
    1 Clementine Orange
    Tonic Water to Taste

    Instructions:
    1. Pour the Gin and Violette into a pint glass filled with ice. Stir to chill.
    2. Strain drink into a rocks glass with ice and top with Tonic Water. I prefer just enough to get bubbles throughout the drink.
    3. Peel the Clementine Orange over the glass to release oils. Rim the glass with some of the peel. Skewer one wedge and place in the drink as garnish.

    Winner: Chris Gerber
    Score: 4-1
    Game Summary: Chris Gerber's updated G&T was a little bitter with a heavy quinine backnote, but it still easily beat Matthew's drink which was too much peeling, not enough appealing.
