I will be going to Las Vegas here September 11th and 12th to compete in the Bombay Sapphire Most Inspired Bartender Competition. I will be representing Seattle which I am extremely honored to do.
For those of you who have followed the blog for a bit you may know that I have experimented with carrot in the past. I love the flavor and love how well it mixes with gin and tequila. I figured that this was a great opportunity to spread the good word of using carrots behind the bar. Bartenders are reaching for ingredients that sound unique on cocktail menus or trying to find textures and flavors that will wow people. There are still many ingredients out there that work amazing with spirits but are still considered to be unusual.
The drink I will be taking with me to Vegas is called The Forager and combines carrot, cumin and gin. I will be taking lots of pictures while I am down there and will post as soon as possible. I would post the recipe but then I don’t want to give my peers a heads up… I’m there to win baby!!!! Stay tuned….
