Poor old dad, the “Father of the Bride” (1950), preparing gallons of Martinis in expectation of his guests’ wishes at his daughter’s wedding announcement, spends the evening mixing every and all drinks but Martinis, among many: Old Fashioneds, Bourbon & Sodas, Mint Juleps, Tom Collins’, Rum & Cokes, and straight up Scotches. Let’s pick on one:

• 1½ oz Gin
• 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 oz carbonated water
• ½ sugar syrup

Mix the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a tall glass with ice, top up with soda water, garnish and serve.
