Murray Stenson needs our help

Murray Stenson, Seattle's well-known and highly-regarded bartender (Zig Zag Café, Canon, 2010 "American Bartender of the Year") has a heart condition that will require an expensive surgery to allow him to return to work. Like many bartenders, he lacks health insurance. While we have not had the pleasure of visiting Murray in Seattle, we have certainly enjoyed some of his recipes and have heard tales of his hospitality.

  • Re Pamplemousse au Poivre, 11 hours 17 minutes ago Shawn C commented:

    Curated to include Ehrmann's Elixir de Poivre cordial in the notes. I made the cordial using twice as much szechuan peppercorn as called for. It worked very well in this drink, and if anything I might increase the szechuan pepper again to try to capture some of its numbing essence (which was not apparent in the cocktail.) The cocktail was very good and my wife soon requested another. She is not usually a fan of mezcal drinks, so this was high praise.

  • Re Dreaming of Oaxaca, 15 hours 14 minutes ago saxophonenerd commented:

    This is a good drink, but needs more acid in my opinion. I tried the recipe as written and then added some lemon juice which I think really helped. I do suggest trying it as written though because I know many of my friends would have really loved it as-is.

    Enjoyed better with a bit of orgeat.

    Best way to use Italicus. Very good balance, easy to drink.

    Phenomenal! Requires a sophisticated palate. Not for the faint of heart.
