Traffic Light
The bartender at Vedette Lounge & Cigar drew inspiration from the three colors of traffic lights to create a vibrant and appealing "traffic light" with vodka, midori, and fresh fruit. Unlike the emotionless traffic lights on the street, this "traffic light" before you offers the natural flavors of fruit, blended with the subtle aroma of alcohol, enticing you to experience and savor it. Special emotions, like bursts of joy, and the stifling heat of summer, seem to melt away with every sip…

Lime juice: 5ml

Chill the Martini glass. Pour 30ml of passion juice into the glass, then add 10ml of grenadine to create a red sediment at the bottom.
