    The Perfect Storm

    Bar Friday is serving up the Perfect Storm! Cocktail that is.

    Ingredients
    Serves 1
    1 vanilla bean
    1/2 cup superfine sugar
    1 ounce ginger brew (we like Reed’s)
    1 1/2 ounces apple cider
    2 ounces dark rum (we use Gosling’s Black seal)

    Directions
    1. Split a vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the inside and add it to the sugar, setting aside the pod. Stir until the sugar is speckled with bits of vanilla. Dip the rim of a glass in water, then in the sugar to coat. Mix ginger brew, apple cider, and rum in a measuring cup. Pour over ice into glass and garnish with half the vanilla bean.

All about me

I am a conduit for inspirational energy, a firestarter, a philosopher and a wannabe chef. Some even call me Guru. I get employees and clients excited about what could be, then find ways to make it happen – across all industries and across all brands.

I founded Square360 in 2002 with the vision of saving the world from bad design. I’ve moved CBRE, pointed Arrow Electronics, dolled up Anthropologie, bagged Tumi, colored L’Oreal and cured American Cancer Society.

As the only girl of five children I learned early how to stake my claim. I never stopped.
