The Lovely Assistant also observes the Festivus holiday, and she also finds tinsel distracting.

- 2 parts London Dry Gin
- 1 part Citron Vodka
- 1 part simple syrup
- 1 part sweetened lime juice
- 1/2 part Triple Sec
- 1/4 part Elderflower liqueur

Combine all ingredients in shaker, shake over ice. Strain and serve up in a coupe glass. Garnish with a twist of lime.

The perfect Feats of Strength.

If the Airing of Grievances cocktail we posted earlier today was a fusion between a whiskey sour and a daiquiri, then this bad boy is the middle ground between a lemon drop and a gimlet. Much like the Lovely Assistant, this thing is much stronger than it first appears, and nothing is over until it’s had its say.
