My friend Chris has been a faithful Flavor Report reader since the jump, and he is super supportive and dying to share some of his infinite knowledge with my followers. Chris is an amazing bartender...he's worked at almost every skanky bar in Champaign and loved it so much, he stayed a full year after graduation to work/black out in them. So here is Chris, the "Cocktail Connoisseur's" fav recipe to share with you all. (Here is what he emailed me in it's entirety hahahaha)

Here's a tasty little treat from the best bar tender you know *me: A blog you can post:

Ever think of your childhood and the sweet treats you used to gobble down greedily while sitting on the candy store porch one summer's day? Think of the delightful sugar rush you'd feel pulsate through your body as you giggled with your friends and planned for a new adventure. Well, now you might be in your 20's, 30's, or dear God, may it never happen, your 40's and that same grainy sugar only leaves you with a sand paper'y tongue and a parched palate. Wish you could combine that same candy rush with your adult play time? Well now you can! Sweet Tart Shots are a throwback to your childhood while a modern way to socialize with your friends! A blast from the past the recipe is delicious, sweet, and delightfully effective - for you alcoholics that is!

Blue Sweet Tarts
1 part Cherry Vodka
1 part Grape Vodka
Splash Blue Curacao
Splash Island Pucker (Optional)
1 part Raspberry Liqueur (Chambord ideally)
Top of with Lemonade and Sour

While there are many variations to this desceptively strong shooter this has been a crowd favorite! So think back to your youth, when the only thing on your mind was your sweet tooth and an eager yearning for more sugar, add some booze and have yourself a FUNtastic evening! "Sweet Tarts, the Taste of Fun!"
