Memorable DJ Booth Moment: The Great Keg Beer Spill of New Years Eve 2001. My infamous friend Jeff Spock and I were playing dnb at a packed out house party. Everybody was rockin and I just started to lay down a few tracks when suddenly the sound just cackles and dies out. Everyone stops to stare at me, I look over at Jeff "Deer In Headlights" Spock only to see he was blinded by the fact he commited the ultimate party foul - spilling beer into audio circuitry.

I've got a Q&A with Mansion mixologist Michael Martensen running tomorrow, and the staff was kind enough to send me one of his recipes. Here's how you make the Passion Lily, which Martensen describes as "everything you want in a cocktail. It's not too sweet, not too sour." Also: Did you know he was only 25?
The Passion Lily
¼ oz lime juice
¼ oz St Germain Liqueur
2 oz Absolut vodka
Splash of cranberry juice
Splash of simple syrup to taste
