A few months ago, I wrote about a special bartender that we like to visit on a weekend martini crawl.  As with any busy restaurant, he is not the only bartender there.  Luckily for this restaurant’s owners, they have another bartender that is equally as talented. Though we have not known Jeff as long as we have known Jared, we have come to learn that his drinks are as perfectly made and delicious.

On a recent weekend night, the bar was incredibly busy.  Both Jared and Jeff were taking orders, making drinks, and delivering them with a smile as quickly as they could.  When Jeff had a free moment, I asked him to make his signature drink for me.  I also requested a copy of his recipe.  Generously, he shared this amazingly tasty martini’s ingredient list with me.

Not only does this drink have a fruity sweetness equivalent to the candy for which it is named, it also has a beautiful color.  Garnished with fruits, it could be a cocktail too beautiful to drink except that you would be missing out on a flavor sensation.
