NEW VIDEO: Rainbow Martini

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).
