Traffic Light
The bartender at Vedette Lounge & Cigar was inspired by the three colors of the traffic light to create a “light” with vodka, midori and attractive, colorful fresh fruits. However, unlike the emotionless light on the street, the “traffic light” in front of you has the natural flavor of fruit, mixed with the lingering aroma of alcohol, urging you to experience and enjoy. Special emotions like bursting, the stuffiness of summer seems to melt away in each sip…
