Concept
The idea behind #mypalateyourhands is to make use of the ingredients you have in your house and turn them into something delicious to sip. Given our circumstances with Covid-19 and Shelter in Place, I felt it was an opportune moment for people to accomplish something with their own hands.
With two decades of experience developing my palate everyday as a bar director, I wanted to use this time to share the technique and philosophy I use to create layering, texture, tension, and structure within a cocktail. I concentrated one-on-one experiences to explain and finesse the interactions between ingredients. The #mypalateyourhands sessions accomplish something unique and individual by empowering students to contemplate and discuss aromatics, tonality, taste, and harmony. I am always striving for balance and I wanted to share these meaningful concepts with others.
