Molecular Mai Tai 3000

Aside from the occasional batch of Jello shots for parties I have never really entered into Molecular Mixology. Hopefully this will be an aspect of mixology that I will soon conquer but for now, I will admire what others have done. Jamie Boudreau is an amazing bartender that has quite a few great molecular cocktails on his blog.

This is an article from 944 magazine with Orange County’s top picks of all things. Under Top 1o Cocktails You Must Try,” the Jalapeno Martini is #9. This was a drink that I created for the Matador Cantina’s drink menu. Without a doubt it was the most popular drink that was ever ordered there and pretty much every time the restaurant got press that is the drink that was discussed.
