Final Five Best Bartenders 2008

Olivia Shanks of Debonair Social Club and Sonotheque

Her drink: The Delicious Shot (vodka, sour mix and fresh lime)

The backstory: This simple shot is Shanks’ go-to when her regulars want to do a round. “It’s not too hard and it’s not too boring,” she says. “It’s a nice, clean, easygoing shot that will go with whatever you want to drink [later in the night].”
