Braveheart Cocktail

One of the best bars in the country happens to be biking distance from my place and every time I go, I get the Braveheart Cocktail.  My friend and fellow blogger for Get Me Out of LA introduced me to this drink at The Tasting Kitchen on Abbot Kinney in Venice.  She's been telling me I need to make it home and post the recipe so she can make them for herself.  Justin at Tasting Kitchen told me the ingredients and I did some experimenting of my own on the measurements.  Even though I can make this at home, I'll still be plopping down at the bar and having him make me this, because it's just so refreshing and gosh darn good.
