The Big 4-0

Ingredients: - 2 oz bourbon - 1 oz ginger beer - 1 oz fresh grapefruit juice - 1/2 oz honey syrup - 1/4 oz lemon juice - 1 dash of Angostura bitters Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine all ingredients with ice and shake until well mixed. 2. Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. 3. Top off the drink with more ginger beer, if needed. 4. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit and a sprig of rosemary. This cocktail is a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness, just like life. The bourbon represents Doug's strong and bold personality, while the ginger beer adds a spicy kick to the drink, just like his sense of humor. The grapefruit juice adds a zesty freshness, and the honey syrup symbolizes the sweetness of his family life. Finally, the dash of bitters represents the challenges he has overcome and rugby, a sport that requires both physical and mental strength, which Doug has in abundance. Cheers to Doug Wick on his 40th birthday!
