How the Martin Miller's Pink Gin and Tonic Martini walked away with two second place awards at the Astor Center's Classic Martini Challenge we may never know - our only guess is they were won over by Sam, and his maniacal shaker technique. Check out that shaker face!

The Pink Gin & Tonic Martini:

1 1/2 oz. Martin Miller's Gin
3/4 oz. Fever-Tree Simple Syrup*
   ^{*(Prepare as simple syrup with 4 parts Fever-Tree Tonic Water and 1 part sugar)}
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
Dash of Pasteurized Egg Wites
2 Dashes of Peychaud's Bitters
1/2 oz. Fever-Tree Soda Water

^{Add Fever Tree Soda Water to your cocktail glass, Combine all other ingriedients in your shaker. Shake vigorously with lots of ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.}
