A Scotty G Signature Cocktail
This cocktail includes 4 bottles from 4 countries - a "European Vacation" for your senses! I originally made this with an American Rye instead of Gin, and called it "An International Affair". It tasted just as good, but didn't look as pretty! For the music, may I suggest Supertramp - Breakfast in America?

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!
Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
