#181 Cocktail: Madras

   This is one of the easiest drinks you can make and very refreshing during summer days. You do not need any special tools to make this cocktail. Everything is mixed directly in the glass.

    Couldn't find any history about the cocktail on how was made first time or why is it called Madras

2 ounces vodka

1 1/2 ounce cranberry juice

1 1/2 ounce fresh orange juice

#180 Cocktail: Libation Goddess

    Created by Gaz Regan and his wife, Mardeein 2002 when they were experimenting with creme de cacao. They named this cocktail after the New York cocktilian bartender Audrey Saunders who uses Libation Goddess as nickname.
    Audrey Saunders got into mixology in one decisive night. While bartending at Brooklyn Heights’ Waterfront Ale House in 1996, she took a seminar with the legendary Dale DeGroff at New York University. Saunders was so enthralled that she approached DeGroff and offered to work for free in exchange for training. By 1997, she was partnering with DeGroff for special events for The Rainbow Room, and in 1999 she was working with him at Blackbird.
    Her beverage program has since been voted one of the top 20 bars in the world by Forbes magazine, but it was when she opened Pegu Club that Saunders gave cocktail culture another iconic standard-setter and launched herself into a position of leadership in mixology.

2 ounces Gin

3/4 ounces creme de cacao

1/2 ounce cranberry juice

#179 Cocktail: Lola Martini

    I couldn't find any history about this cocktail or the name of the cocktail. The only information I have is that it was adapted from a recipe by Alex Freuman and Kurt Eckert of Jean Georges in New York.
    The cocktail looks like a Cosmopolitan, and the recipe is almost the same as the Cosmo, the only difference is the adding of the elderflower syrup to balance somehow the sweet and the sour tastes.

2 ounces OP vodka

1/2 ounce triple sec

1/2 ounce elderflower syrup

1/2 ounce fresh lime juice

1 splash cranberry juice
