BISTRO LAMAZOU SIGNATURE COCKTAIL

I have had the pleasure of creating the Signature Cocktail of NYC's hottest new restaurant: BISTRO LAMAZOU. This amazing new hot spot, on Manhattan's East Side, features the first "Cheese Bar" along with incredible Tunisian and Mediterranean cuisine.

The Lamazou Cocktail, with flavors of Tunisia, features BOUKHA, a Tunisian Fig Brandy, Vodka & Coconut Water with accents of Ginger and Clove. The garnish is a roasted cumin-rubbed apricot.

Come visit them soon. They are scheduled to open by the end of April.

THE QUEEN ELENA COCKTAIL

After my wonderful trip to Italy last December, I developed a new addiction: AMARO MONTENEGRO. This exquisite Italian herbal liqueur added to espresso, known as Caffe Corretto (or corrected coffee) is liquid heaven. This particular AMARO was named for Queen Elena of Italy, a former Princess of Montenegro.

It's complex flavors create amazing Signature Cocktails as well. Here is my offering to the much loved Queen.

EAGER BIEBER

I created a Mocktail to sooth “BIEBER FEVER” for a Sweet Sixteen Birthday girl and her guests. This tasty non-alcohol treat gave them a real “taste” of Bieber; Chocolate, Berry and Ginger. Even his mic was yummy.

I hand painted 50 glasses with Justin’s famous hair cut, made from a blend of dark and white chocolate.
