The Last Gentleman Standing

May Kongsrivilai of Bon Vivant in Edinburgh showcases her skills as a top mixologist with this drink that  won over 16 other cocktails in the first annual  "The Glenrothes Ultimate Gentleman's Cocktail Contest".  Held in the wonderful Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh, Scotland last December, this contest challenged local bartenders to create a Glenrothes based cocktail in  three minutes using a limit of six other ingredients. 

May's first place winner called "The Last Gentleman Standing" could easily become a classic.  Tasty and not too sweet, the contents blend

beautifully with the Glenrothes Select Reserve.  We also like this cocktail because the ingredients are easy to find and it is simple to make.
