Adventurous drinking can try one of the 24 [house-made vodka flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dutch-barn-orchard-vodka), including bacon, ginger, blueberry, pineapple, pumpkin pie, peppercorn, cucumber, and more. Billy Elliott, the owner of the bar, explains that some of their house-made vodkas are made specifically to be mixed into other drinks. That said, the bar created a unique lineup of mixed shots, like the Mexican Candy made with [strawberry and habanero vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halapeo-pepper-vodka), watermelon liqueur, sour mix, and a tajin rim. The company also designed the Roasted Garlic Vodka shot, which features Elliott's On Congress's house-made roasted garlic vodka served with a juicy dill pickle.
