Bartender Stories

Sian Ferguson-Nagan

There's a little dissension on the origin of this one. Gin or Vodka, Vodka or Gin. Use whichever one you like the best. The argument for using fresh squeezed juice is glaringly apparent here. If you can do it, you really, really should. A bartender friend of mine who could sling drinks olympically, drinks this as her post-shift drink of choice. Refreshing, quick and just a little bit salty — just like a great bartender should be.
