REMASTERED EDITIONS
THE REMASTERED EDITIONS WERE A SERIES OF COCKTAL NIGHTS WHERE EACH NIGHT THE FOCUS WAS ON 1 CLASSIC COCKTAIL WITH 4 DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE DRINK.
THE IDEA FOR THE NIGHTS GREW OUT OF THE PLANNING FOR 2 BIRDS 1 STONE. IN PREPARING TO TRAIN A COCKTAIL BAR STAFF I FIGURED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO NARROW DOWN EX-ACT-LY HOW I WANTED THE CLASSIC COCKTAILS MADE. BUT IN GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS, I REALIZED THAT A LOT OF THE TIME I WOULD HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THESE CLASSICS THAT I FELT STRONGLY ABOUT WITH EACH VERSION BEING SITUATION-DEPENDENT. THE FURTHER I WENT INTO THAT TUNNEL,THE MORE IT SEEMED LIKE IT MIGHT BE A FUN THING TO SHARE WITH PEOPLE. AND SURE ENOUGH, IT WAS.
I WOULD HANDWRITE THE MENUS- LIKE I DID FOR THE TUESDAY COCKTAILSESSIONS AT PILAR- BUT I WOULD ALSO DRAW SOMETHING RELATED TO THE DRINK (LIKE THE TOSSING OF THE ROCKS GLASS WITH ABSINTHE FOR THE SAZERAC EDITION) OR MAKE A COLLAGE (LIKE USING JIMMY BUFFET FOR THE MARGARITA EDITION) AND THIS LED DIRECTLY TO ME DRAWING THE MENU EVERY WEEK AT 2 BIRDS.
