Mix Barton G.'s signature flair with a dash of high-octane liquid nitrogen, a shimmy of vodka and what happens next, is anyone's guess. Popular cocktails like the Buddhalicious (pictured) featuring pear-infused vodka, lychee and cranberry juice served with a nitrogenized pear vodka popsicle is the perfect party drink. Want another option? Other guests swear by the Sabrinatini, a martini with orange vodka, watermelon liqueur, nitro-champagne Swizzle Stick and chocolate monkey. Both are pretty fantastic, so you can't go wrong with whatever you order here.
