Congratulations to Boneta: Directly from the Press Release:

Boneta’s Justin Tisdall is Gibson’s Iron Bar Champion for BC
 
Vancouver, BC (October 10, 2008) British Columbia gave us something to toast last week as local bartenders went head to head in the Gibson’s Iron Bar competition.
 
The four BC finalists won great reviews from the judges but only one was crowned the winner for the British Columbia division of Gibson’s Iron Bar. Justin Tisdall from Boneta Restaurant  was the bartender responsible for the winning drink.  Justin’s drink was named “We Give 110″, because Canadian Football fields are 110 yards as opposed to the American 100. To recreate Justin’s winning drink recipe, mix:
 
                        2oz Gibson’s Finest Canadian Whisky
                      .5oz Maple Syrup
                      .25 oz Agave Syrup
                      2oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
                      Fresh Cracked pepper
      (Shaken and double strained over fresh rocks)
