My patriotic Americans, the extended weekend is finally coming to a close and since most of our readers, as well as ourselves, have been busy celebrating this fine country's Independence Day we figured we would hold off on posting a new drink until the end of the weekend. Most of you are probably experiencing a slight (or major) withdrawal/hangover from drinking to America and all its glory, which is why we chose this drink.  

WEEK 14

Gin Sling
2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce Cointreau
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
3 to 5 ounces chilled club soda

Shake the booze and lemon juice, strain into a chilled highball glass, and then top with club soda. Squeeze the lemon wedge over the top and drop it in.

It's light, crisp, clean, and (wait for it) refreshing, which is exactly what you need after an extended weekend of overindulging. This drink may not help unclog your arteries or take back the drunken phone calls you made to various ex's, but we're pretty sure it'll make your liver smile as it enjoys one last hurrah before the daily grind begins again. 

Warning: This drink may make you want another one instantly, but remember, Chief, you have to work tomorrow. Oh hell, who are we kidding? Have as many as you like, because really, Monday's going to suck anyway, right?
