Absolutely, we tried this year and the winners of both our US and UK G & T competitions this year were women.

I also think we are probably one of the only (if not few) brands that have not only a female Global Head of Sales and Marketing but also a women at the helm of our brand in the US – Miss Wampler, US Brand Director.

Plans for next year’s comp will be up in the New Year on http://www.martinmillersgin.com.

Time for a lady competitor next year, perhaps?

Absolutely amazing competition! Can’t wait till next year when the Martin Miller’s Masters Competition expands even further. It will be their 10th Anniversary – so it is sure to be a doozy!

When Ben says GB won the cup, I think he’s referring to the beautiful mugs with his impish face on.

Sam Ross, won the cup, Thad Volger came 2nd, Giles Looker of Team GB came 3rd and Team GB won the award for best chat.

Am excited already about next year!

Ouroboros – Sam used the Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur in his punch, I think that might be the same one you tried?

And Reedo – You’re wrong, my friend, the UK brought home the award for Best Chat, which should come as no surprise to anyone.

In Sam Ross(of Milk and Honey)’s drink, you mention a “a pine and stonefruit liqueur”. Is that that Austrian Stone Pine Liqueur that Haus Alpanz is importing? I had a taste of it at Clyde Commons and it was incredible.

Thanks, everyone. And if there’s one thing Ben needs more of, it’s teasing.

Great post, and oh, i must link this to Paul so he can spend his boring working hours teasing Ben a little.

would have love to enjoy that night, but unfortunately, terorrists like me have to wait until January 20th of 2009 to get a visa for the US.

Thanks for the roundup Jeff. One of those things that I wish I was there for.

Yes, that’s where I nabbed the recipe. But thanks, Joerg, hopefully Sam will still chime in…

The Drink was also mixed by the TRAVELING MIXOLOGISTS at the BERLIN Session BCB 2008 …

Outstanding Drink … the Trick is the homemade Ginger thing…

Yay, thanks, Silamith! It was way too dark in there for me to get many proper photos. I’m certain you fared better, though!

Brilliant! I have plenty of pics, including exclusive images of Boudreau’s contraption, that I will send your way. Feel free to use all/any/none…
