Lastly, my friend and chocolatier par excellence Marcus Candinas writes to downplay his importance in the creation of the Campari Margarita. However, I did neglect to mention the pivital role of Meg Hamel in the drink's creation. So in honor of her, the drink formerly known as the Camparita is NOW known as the Megarita.

MEGARITA
1 oz. Campari
1.5 oz Tequila
1.5 oz Triple Sec
1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
Shake together. Serve over ice

The day after Dragonmeet, I was in a pub on High Holborn Street when James Wallis created another pleasant drink. In honor of the splendid con that had gone on the day before, I quickly dubbed it the Dragon Mead.

DRAGON MEAD
1.5 oz Gin
Top up with Red Bull
Serve over ice

Now, the ingredients may seem strange, but the result is tasty indeed. And given the heady nature of Dragonmeet, with its mix of exhilaration and light-headiness (did I mention I didn't get a chance to eat all day?), Gin and Red Bull seems an admirably fitting combination.
