Sometimes, you don't want to get all James Bond with your martini. You don't want something simple and sophisticated.

Sometimes, you want to have the pants impressed off you with a fabulous concoction of liquor, juices, syrups and God-knows-what-else.

You want to see what all that mixologist stuff is all about, if these fancy-pants people are really just glorified bartenders, or if they've got the mad mixing skills of Girl Talk.

For this, we present this list of some of the Valley's most over-the-top cocktails.

French Manicure

French Manicure

The French Manicure martini is a classic French martini, a mix of Chambord, vodka and pineapple juice, served with a manicure.

Chocolate S'more

One of Furio's most popular martinis is a drink so beautiful and chocolaty, it has a loyal following of regulars.

This frothy, smoothie-esque martini from Fez has a little of everything.

Peppermint Patty Martini

This is a minty favorite from Amsterdam, perfect for cooling you off in the summer, or for making you feel yuletide-y in the winter.

Milk Mustache

We recommend this frothy concoction from Skye, which is sure to build strong bones, as well as a strong sense of boozy confidence.
