A Challenge is Issued to YOU....Name that Cocktail and Win a Prize!

During a recent  visit to Ripple Restaurant, Fred, one of the restaurant's mixologists,  invited me to try a prototype of a cocktail he developed.  He was especially curious about my feedback because the cocktail featured gin- not one of my spirits of choice.

Moments later, Fred presented me with the cocktail shown below. I took a sip and savored the flavors. The gentleman seated to my right leaned in my direction and asked, "How does it taste?". It tasted good, so good that I asked if the drink had gin in it. I offered the gentleman to my right a sip of the cocktail prototype. He nodded approvingly. Three people to the gentleman looked at the cocktail as well. I momentarily forgot the kindergarten  mantra and didn't share my drink with one else in the vicinity.

People began to ask Fred questions about the cocktail. What's in it? Which gin did you use? What are the proportions of the ingredients? Fred shared a few bits of information: gin, lemon juice, lime juice, egg whites, angostura bitters. The rest is proprietary. When asked what was the name of the cocktail Fred looked at me and said, "ask your blog readers to readers to name the cocktail."

 

So the challenge has been issued!  Share in the comments area below or on the Technicolor dining Facebook page what you think the cocktail name should be. The last day to submit your suggestions is November 6, 2014. Fred will choose  the winning name and it will be announced on this blog page.

 

What's the prize? A $25 Ripple gift certificate from Technicolor Dining!

 

 

Be well,
