Gin, Champagne, lemon juice and sugar. I am a little split over the glass decision. My gut says flute glass which many agree to. But there are equal number of people who think Collins glass is the right glass.. here I served in a flute..

This one is for run lovers. White rum, orange curacao and lime juice…

And this is the second cocktail of the evening. The Quickie is made from Bourbon, white rum and Triple sec.

This was the evening of a double cocktail. I figured I had earned them after my faster than normal 10 mile run. The drinks are almost identical liking but they cannot be any more different from each other in taste or character.

This is the Nineteenth Hole – made from gin, both varieties of vermouths and some bitters.

This gin based drink originated way back in 1916. In fact, in those days, The Last Word was the costliest cocktail money could buy at 35 cents. This drink hit the heights of popularity twice – once in the 1920s – made popular by Frank Fogarty in the bar Detroit Athletic Club and then again by Murray Stenson in the bar Zig Zag Cafe in Seattle in the 2000s.

This drink is made from gin, green chartreuse, maraschino liqueur and fresh lime juice.
