Quick fact
A gastrointestinal cocktail,, is a mixture of medications used to treat symptoms of dyspepsia. The GI cocktail generally contains a mixture of viscous lidocaine, an antacid, and an anticholinergic. The GI cocktail is commonly prescribed in the hospital or emergency department, and has been used to help distinguish chest pain as either gastrointestinal or cardiac. While it has been widely used in the treatment of dyspepsia, studies have suggested that the GI cocktail is only as effective as antacids alone.

Gin, cut clean
Botanical, clipped, and a little dressier - the lane for drinks that feel sharp, cold, and properly composed.

Vodka, cool and easy

A richer lane that can drift tropical, spiced, or classic depending on whether you want the glass to feel playful or slow-burning.
