LAGUNA SUMMER
1/2 - 1 ounce of New Amsterdam No. 485 gin, no substitutions
12 ounces of ice cold Heineken, mild substitutions permitted
juice of 1/8 of a fresh lime, more or less, discard the rind
Splash 1/2 to 1 ounce of No. 485 gin into a clear hi-ball glass, then gently introduce it to 12 ounces of ice cold Heineken brew, mild substitutions permitted. Squeeze in the juice of 1/8 of a lime, more or less. Discard the rind. Next, savor its very essence. Finally taste, then drink. You will find that it beats the hell out of smelling a wine cork at Denny's, under the watchful eye of an ex-cabbie in a rented tux, and the scrutiny he conveys as you handle and taste his first pour. The wine he so shrewdly chose, the first sip quickly shrink wrapping the inside of your mouth, leaving you with a permanently puckered look on your face. LAGUNA SUMMER sounds pretty damn good compared to that, and it is. But it tastes even better. It tastes like freedom. Remember.............when you didn't give a flying fuck about anything. It has that whole California beach scene, surf vibe thing going for it, while at the same time fitting in nicely at black tie events, gallery openings and pool parties thrown by the elegantly hip. LAGUNA SUMMER is as smooth as silk and as simple as life itself. Life can be complicated or it can be simply sophisticated. You choose.

Maybe you should give Mike's father, Joe Jackson, a call. He might give a fuck.
