Sunset magazine has taken the liberty to name the top 10 cocktail trends of the West, including career "startenders," " fancy pants "haute ice" and the hipster revival of "neo tiki" culture. Oh-so-trendy Colorado has instances of all three trends: Ryan Conklin, lead bartender and cicerone at Euclid Hall, is a startender of the West; Oak at Fourteenth's "Out with the Flame" cocktail is served over flaming haute ice; and Adrift serves up the new incarnation of tiki tradition.
