That blue eyed boy from Arkansas (and 4 Seasons Resort at Troon) is none other than Justin Baker. We adore our breakaway bartenders on into the Soup and this young man takes the cake! Not only is he hilarious and charming, he makes one mean Tequila Sundown Margarita!!

Oh, and every Sunday at 4:00 p.m., you can come visit Justin and the crew as they teach you how to shake, stir and sample..with a little help from him and his friends!

1.5oz Tanteo Jalapeño tequila
1oz lime juice
.5 Oz cointreau orange liqueur
8-10 leaves of cilantro, muddled
the rest marg mix

If you don’t wanna make the marg mic simply limemade is the best alternative

I love surprises, especially when they’re pleasant! Christina was pleased….I’m not a big fan of bitters in any form or fashion, but Jennifer Russo and Kristie Joss changed my mind with this.

The Giorgio

Less than 1 oz Contratto Bitters
2 squirts simple syrup
Cava
Rose Petal Sugar Rim

Rim a Champagne or Martini Glass with Rose Petal Sugar. Add bitters, syrup and Cava. Wow, that was easy!!

Considering we never even got around to talking about the drink…at least, I don’t think we did. This is a bit of a surprise. Chef told us he pulled this little number off the top of his head earlier Thursday morning. The cocktail was interesting; the name? Still trying to figure that one out.

OBGYN
2 shots vodka
1oz grapefruit juice
Crushed 4 leaves fresh basil
1 leaf basil for garnish

We asked Louis Shaban to share a cocktail recipe with us and he deferred to one of his faves up at Jade Bar ~ Subtle Introduction. I’m thinking that a combination of el silencio mezcal and rhubarb and peach liqeurs would make me even more gregarious than usual! Guess I’ll have to pop up and try one of these.

Subtle Introduction

Fruit infused el silencio mezcal
zucca amaro
giffard peach
lemon

Mix it, shake it, strain it, pour it…drink it!!

If you’re old enough, you already got this, but you still gotta’ listen to the show. If you’re not old enough, you REALLY gotta’ listen to the show! Blue Hounds’ Barkeep, Noah Momyer, pulled this beauty out of thin air for us the other day. Suffice it to say, at the time of imbibing, it did not yet have a name. Well, it does now!!!
