COCKTAIL FEATURE

   

Apple Calvados Anejo

1 1/2 oz siembra azul anejo
1/2 oz applejack
1/2 oz simple syrup
1/4 of a green chopped green apple
1 oz lime juice
garnish with a rainbow of slices of apples

Press the green apple with a muddler, then add the rest of the ingredients, ice, shake, and strain over ice in a rocks.

With the turn of the season and as we wind down the jubilation of summer into the glory of fall, we toast the bounty of the harvest and the majesty of the beauty of the change of color. Crisp and bright greens will give way to the glowing ambers and fiery reds of the fall. Say "Salud" with this great cocktail while ringing in the new school year.

ABOUT

   

Junior Merino the liquid chef

It is no surprise master mixologist Junior Merino The Liquid Chef has built his career on fusing exotic, unexpected flavors: He grew up in the culinary melting-pot of Central Mexico. Beginning when Junior was just 10, his food-loving parents taught him to cook with local produce ranging from indigenous cocoa beans, to pomegranates native to the Middle East, to cilantro, which has Mediterranean roots. Despite all these foods' varied origins, Junior saw that in combination, they created harmony--planting in him an early passion for culinary mestizaje or blending diverse flavors. It's a technique that's helped Junior rise quickly in his field along with his intense work ethic.
