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!
