The martini has come a long way since James Bond’s "shaken and not stirred" preference and other stiff options that were served with an olive or two back in the day. Flavorful and creative frou-frou concoctions with cotton candy to Red Bull energy drink ingredients rule bar menus in this decade. Find out where to experience martini madness in our Orlando Citysearch guide.

    4151 Millenia Blvd, Orlando, FL 32839 (map)

    Entice your sweet tooth with a Pink Punk Cosmo at this every-day-is-Friday chain. The martini features SKYY vodka, cranberry and pineapple juices and a freshly squeezed lime shaken and poured over a fluff of pink cotton candy in a martini glass. The cotton candy dissolves and mixes with the other ingredients and transforms into a sweet sensation.
