ESTABLISHMENT Lumpy’s Roadhouse Bar-B-Q, 2957 State Highway 23, Laurens
BARTENDER Shari Gage
AGE 38
HOMETOWN New Berlin
SURPRISING FACT “I’m a Gemini, so I like everything — quiliting and crocheting, I do that.”
SHOT: The Tsunami
“I invented it five years ago when I used to manage the Novelty (Lounge), so it’s not in bad taste.”
INGREDIENTS
1 part Captain Morgan’s Rum 1 part Bacardi Rum 1 part triple sec
2 parts Malibu or any coconut rum 3 parts tequila pineapple juice sour mix
cranberry juice
Pour liquor into a tall glass with ice, top with juices and sour mix, and give it a good shake. It’s like a Long Island Iced Tea, but with a beachy feel because of the rums.

“I started bartending at an Elks Club 11 years ago, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can social- ize and still make money! Lumpy’s is all about fun and people having a good time.”
