The Secret Genius of the Solo Cup

Praise be to the red Solo cup, for its smart design is worth so much more than being relegated to mere keg fill-ups and cheers of "College!" Solo says it's a coincidence, butthose iconic cup contours roughly match common volumes for measuring out booze. Jonathan Pogash of The Cocktail Guru, a beverage consulting firm, helps you create your own mix-in-a-cup libation. 

CUCUMBER MELON FIZZ
1. Fill to line A: Hendrick's Gin
2. Fill to halfway between lines A and B: Melon vodka, such as Van Gogh. Add a few cubes of ice.
3. Fill to the top: Nonalcoholic ginger beer. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime. Garnish with cucumber slices inside your cup. Give it a stir with a straw, or roll your drink back and forth from one cup to another to ensure that it's well mixed.
