The Master Blend: A Bartender Series - Austin Hennelly

Dec 20, 2019

We’re closing out the year (and our second season!) with our last interview in the second chapter of the Bartender Interview Series, The Master Blend - a collaboration with BERTOUX Brandy. This week’s guest is Austin Hennelly, Head Bartender and the man behind the cocktails at David Chang's first Los Angeles restaurant - Majordomo. Austin moved out LA two years ago to open the restaurant after working at some of the most iconic bars in New York City - Dave Arnold's experimental Booker & Dax, the little bitter jewel, Amor Y Amargo, and the James Beard Award winning Maison Premiere.

Hennelly's Grasshopper cocktail with BERTOUX Brandy, currently a secret off-the-menu item at Majordomo in Los Angeles:
 
Grasshopper
1 oz Tempus Fugit creme de cacao 
1 oz Tempus Fugit creme de menthe
1 oz Bertoux brandy 
2 oz Pistachio mix*
 
With all of these ingredients, build in a tulip glass. Fill glass with crushed ice and swizzle until cold. Garnish with an abundance of mint and two straws. 
 
*Pistachio mix: 
1 package jello brand pistachio pudding 
3 cans Thai coconut milk
50 grams miso
 
Combine ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth.
