Last week, Andres Sanchez of Positano Coast (212 Walnut St., 215-238-0499) won the regional round of the 2009 Bombay Sapphire "Inspired Bartender Search" at Union Trust, earning the mixologist a trip to Vegas at the end of this month to compete with 39 others for a chance to be featured in GQ's Men of the Year issue. The barkeep's weapon of choice? The summery Shiso & Samba. Recipe after the jump; we'll keep you posted on Sanchez's exploits. Or just go get at the dude yourself, as he's behind the bar at Positano Wednesday through Saturday.

1 1/2 parts Bombay Sapphire Gin
1 1/2 Parts Koren Melon
1/2 part St. Germain
1/2 Lemon
3/4 parts Aloe Vera
1 oz. Pellegrino Water

Pour all ingredients into a mixing glass in the order listed above.

Shake all ingredients and pour into a chilled martini glass
