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

    Instructions:
    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: David McCabe
    Score: 5-0
    Game Summary: We're pretty sure cachaça has its place among the base liquors. Just not when used in this way. David McCabe's cocktail had a nice combination of the eldeflower and the lemon. It was harmonious and balanced and won unanimously.
