Olympic cheers!

Until Aug. 12, elite athletes from all over the world are competing for the gold in the 2012 Olympics in London. Because most of us can’t be in London to watch, the next best thing is to head down Sherwood Forest Boulevard until you see the iconic red double-decker bus that marks The Londoner. Better known for its beer selection, The Londoner also provides an array of London-themed drinks from the 007 to the Witty Brit. While you’re praying for your favorite athlete—like former LSU track star Lolo Jones—maybe you could use a little help from the Baptist Preacher ($9). Like a good sermon, it’ll leave you shaken, not stirred. This classic Manhattan is made with Elijah Craig 12-year-old Bourbon and sweet vermouth. Garnished with a lemon twist, the amber drink is not harsh, but smooth and soothing, perfect to celebrate a well-deserved win or for consolation after a devastating loss.
