Final Five Best Bartenders 2008

Jes Rickleff of Spybar

Her drink: The Stoli Splash Shot (blueberry and raspberry vodka with splashes of sour mix, Red Bull and peach schnapps)

The backstory: Rickleff dreamed up this shot in honor of her own love for flavored vodkas.  “I’m a huge Stoli drinker,” she says. “[The shot is] not necessarily fruity; it just has a lot of different flavors on it, and it’s on the sweeter side—almost lemonade-y.”
