Clink: Blue Martini Brickell

Liquid blueberry pixie sticks and grape Skittles candy are some of the flavors you'll encounter with our drinks of the week.

Brazilian.

By Aurora Rodríguez

Known for it’s daily half-off happy hour and various young-professional social mixers, Blue Martini is a good spot for people watching in Mary Brickell Village. The Florida-based cocktail lounge has a variety of Van Gogh cocktails. Their signature Blue Martini, which is served with a bendable glow stick and features Van Gogh Blue vodka, created specifically for the hot spot, tastes like a liquid blueberry pixie stick. The Brazilian is a purple mix that is as sweet as a grape Skittles candy.
