It's here - 08/08/08!  And tonight as we kick back to watch the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Olympmic Games, we think a celebratory libation is in order.

Join us in a cocktail - The Chinese Cocktail

Ingredients:

1 tsp.      Triple Sec
1 1/2 oz. dark rum
1 tsp.     Maraschino Liquor
1 dash    bitters
1 tbsp.   Grenadine

Directions:
Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes.  Shake well, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve.   Raise a glass to the athletes and enjoy!
