Come and try our Flavor Infusions today!

Strawberry, Vanilla, Bell Pepper, Pineapple, Honeydew-Cantaloupe, Cherry and we will have Peach very soon!

Infusing your own Vodka is easy. Just fill a container with fruit and top with your favorite Vodka. Be sure to keep the fruit covered with the Vodka to prevent spoiling. When your Vodka has enough flavor, you can take the fruit out and pour the Vodka back into its original bottle. If you keep it refrigerated, it will last longer. Certain fruits like strawberry, orange and peach need a little simple syrup added to the mixture to bring out their natural flavor.

1 ½ ounces Strawberry Infused Vodka
½ ounce fresh squeezed Lime Juice
Fill glass with Lemon Lime Soda

Hope to see you at the bar soon!
