Finally I've moved.
So, for those who haven't heard. I'm officially in Chicago. After numerous opportunities have presented themselves, I've elected to help some friends at a craft cocktail bar in Lakeview until I finish arrangements for a beverage program elsewhere in Chicago. I'll keep you all posted!

Pop-Up Bar: Omakase
This past weekend my good friend Adam Seger asked me to guest bartend for a 2-day Pop-up Bar at Lush Wine & Spirits location down in UIC.
We took cue from Sushi Chefs and decided to name it Omakase, Japanese for entrust, and a concept for the chefs choice. We as mixologists took the opportunity to discover what our guests enjoy both libations and nourishment-wise to craft a one-of-a-kind cocktail for every individual that walked in the door. With a full-range of seasonally market fresh ingredients and some of the bar essentials we served well over 100 guests on Friday alone.
Hopefully if this social experiment was a success, we may continue to do more Pop-Ups in the future. All in part to our mascot: Drunken Raddish Bunny.
