ON THE SET: Taste Testing the Butterscotch Vodkatini Cocktail

The KQ Butterscotch Vodkatini cocktail is a sweet mix of vodka, butterscotch liqueur and light crème de cacao. This butterscotch and chocolate flavor profile provides an almost caramel like cocktail experience. Look for this drink to be demonstrated in an upcoming KQ video!

NEW VIDEO: Rainbow Martini

KQ host Mitch Hightower shows you how to make his recipe for a Rainbow Martini, complete with a six-color sugar rim. This shimmery pink cocktail mix is a riff on a classic "top shelf" gin martini with a hint of orange. Luster dust is the secret ingredient for creating the shimmer effect. This stirred, not shaken, cocktail is double strained as well to avoid ice chips in the finished drink. Chef Philip serves as the guest taste tester for KQ Season 4, Episode 9, (S4E9N69-HD).
