In the past it was the worm in the bottom of the tequila bottle today it's combinations that include everything from bubblegum to pickled octopus. If you are adventurous and want to veer from the ordinary here are some combinations to get your evening started.

Sake Drinks

Vodka Drinks
* Potato vodka with garlic stuffed green olives.

Martinis
