This just in from a very creative disher. Talk about throwing down the gauntlet:
I liked your post about Labor Day-themed cocktails yesterday and was wondering if anyone had ideas. I have come up with some names, but feel at a loss when it comes to actually concocting an interesting drink. Anyone want to come up with a drink to match the following names?
First-Monday Muddle
Grover Cleavland’s Compromise
The Pullman Strike
The Haymarket Affair
End of Summer Swizzler
Samuel Gompers Dream
Wobblies’ Wobbler
Yellow-Dog Contract
The New Deal
White Shoe Sayonara
Jimmy Hoffa Locator
C’mon people. It’s the Friday before a long weekend. Let’s procrastinate by designing some drinks in the comments section! I will personally concoct the best of the best and detail the expereince in words (and pictures if possible) on Tuesday.

Grover Cleveland’s Compromise
Came up with this when I was out of Gin…
3 oz Vodka (Tito’s works nicely)
.5 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
.5 oz Green Chartreuse
small stem of rosemary for garnish
In a mixing glass over large ice cubes add all liquid and stir until cold. Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
Smack Rosemary firmly in the palm of your hand a couple of times and rub on the outside of the glass below the rim.
Enjoy!
