Abdou El Asfor, Morocco: World Class, 2012
Thursday, July 19th, 2012
Abdou El Asfor, 2012 finalist from Morocco, showed really well in our Cocktail Mastery challenge, despite being hindered by the lack of dry ice, something, he needed for his presentation. Using exotic Moroccan spices, though, he fair dazzled Ueno-San and me with his innate sense of style, and a couple of beautiful cocktails.
Here’s a recipe for the drink that Abdou presented in the Retro-Chic challenge:
Man in Black
Glass: Coupette
Garnish: None
Method: Stirred and strained
20ml Johnnie Walker Gold Label
20ml Grand Marnier
20ml Espresso
20ml Chocolate syrup

Matt Seiter

I’m using the blog this week to highlight the work of a really annoying bastard. He goes by the name of Matt Seiter, and he’s the creator of the Sanctuaria Cocktail Club in St. Louis.
Matt has been pestering me for a few years now, and his most recent mission was to let me know about a few very nice cocktail-related articles he’s written for Feast.com, a St. Louis-based missive that obviously succumbs easily to annoying bastards such as Matt.
Without further ado, then, click on the following links to read some of Matt’s recent work. And whatever you do, don’t let him get hold of your email address. You’ll never hear the end of it. Trust me on this.
