Fruity Stoli cocktail original creation

May 26, 2006
Woody's Oasis bartender Ryan McFarlan adds the Stoli to his original drink "Stoli around the world". He and a friend created the drink for a customer during a slow New Year shift. Although the drink is not yet on the menu, customers enjoy it enough to special order it.

"The Stoli Around the World" is an original mixed drink created and exclusively sold at Woody's Oasis Bar & Grill, 211 E. Grand River Ave.

Landscape and nursery graduate Ryan McFarlan invented the drink last New Year's Eve with former bartender Talib Keen.

McFarlan remembers it was a slow night, and a guy at the bar asked for a specialty drink, mentioning that he enjoyed Stolichnaya Vodka.

So what the booze-blending duo of McFarlan and Keen came up with was an alcoholic concoction with four different flavors of Stoli, cranberry juice, a splash of Sprite and some Red Bull on the rocks, all rubbing elbows in a pint glass.

"It would be like a top-shelf Vodka Long Beach with a kick of Red Bull," McFarlan said.

And the guy on that lonely New Year's Eve said he loved it.
