| The GT Lucia lemon-mint-gin cocktail and Fiery Mandarin cranberry-jalapeño-tequila cocktail |
Last night was probably my favorite in New York so far.
A supervisor I worked for back in Los Angeles invited me to a press event sponsored by the Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau and hosted at the Saveur test kitchens. We sipped custom cocktails and Arizonian wines, savored hors d'oeuvres that showcased flavors of the Southwest, wandered around the test kitchens (!!!!) and chatted with Scottsdale reps and fellow journalists.
Among the best tastes (because honestly, I was all about the fantastic food and drink) was a Palomino cocktail courtesy of Chad Elsner of Bourbon Steak Restaurant, whose coriander and star anise-scented acquavit and mole bitters still stand out to me, as well as lobster deviled eggs, Kobe beef tartare and mounds of guacamole.
Oh, and I got a mirrored cocktail shaker in my gift bag. Looks like Scottsdale is where it's at.
