ON THE SET: Taping the "Pink Margarita" Episode
By Mitch Hightower

Today we taped another cocktail episode, this time featuring the KQ Pink Margarita. Silver tequila is my favorite spirit, and the salted rim is my favorite element of this drink. Besides it being pink, of course! Look for this, and many more food and cocktail episodes coming up soon for KQ Season 3.

Cocktail Experiment: Purple Shimmertini

Cocktail Experiment: Purple Shimmertini

Kitchen Queers host Mitch Hightower has been busy working in the bar on a series of new, colorful cocktails.  The image in this posting features a purple concoction created with purple "shimmer" liqueur, house made sweetened purple vodka and, yes, more vodka.  The shimmer liqueur has a tasty citrus, berry and peach flavor profile.  And the luster dust in the liqueur creates a definitive shimmer effect in the finished cocktail.  This mix will likely be featured in an upcoming KQ Season 3 episode.  Cheers!
