Traditionally, January tends to be the time of the year that folks take a breather from consuming alcohol. Following those infinite New Year's Eve resolutions is usually easier said then done. But, I suppose if you wish to be true to your convictions and only had one more drink to have for the next month or so, what would be yours?

Shakestir.com had this in mind with their 48 Hour Flash Competition for bartenders to come up with a "last drink" cocktail before you take a hiatus from the booze world. While I didn't win (I'm still hurting...) at least I gave us something delicious to drink before become a quasi-teetotalist for a month. What would your last cocktail be? Drop me a line while sipping on this delicious tipple. Cheers.
