Murray Stenson needs our help

Murray Stenson

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 Chupacabra, 6 hours ago yarm commented:

    The recipe that I got from the bartender had 1/8th oz (1 tsp) mezcal. And I wouldn't be surprise if this user lifted it from my site and entered the recipe incorrectly:

    Too sweet as is. I'll try again with less maraschino.
