Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
After a week spent wandering the halls of Tales of the Cocktail in July 2008, sipping many finely stirred and shaken libations; I said to myself, "These special cocktails need to be shared with the world." So I bring you Cocktail Hour, a finer way to celebrate the end of the day; with these recipes. They have either been created specifically for Tales of the Cocktail, or re-designed for a new approach on the traditional version by some of the top Mixologists in the world. Many are being presented to the public here for the first time. Enjoy!Herb Cane cocktail recipe after the jump

Buckley's memorable phrase -- and am glad that he has been commemorated with a cocktail, especially one using a liqueur as complex and potent (and, of course, Herbal) as Chartreuse. The lemon juice is appropriate also, as he was nothing if not tart. Well done.
