Thanks for throwing a cool cocktail competition and thanks judges for voting us the best gin cocktail (3rd overall though). Every single group there made a killer cocktail and you should go try them all.

Come try the "Arny" at The Shoe
A riff on the classic 1920s cocktail, the bees knees.
We use a meadow foam honey from the willamette valley along with a killer black tea from to set this drink off and turn it into more of an Arnold Palmer style cocktail.

Welp, see ya later.
