Martini Showdown - Season II Finale

Shaken & stirred!

In the season finale of Cocktails & Dreams, Chris and special guests Brent Wallace and Marc Methot of The Wally and Methot Show are up for a challenge - a martini challenge, that is.

They're serving up martinis three ways and taste testing each other's creations to crown one martini the tastiest of them all.
