Chicago semi-finalist winner Makenzie Helem earns a spot in the Craft the Fun finals and is going to Austin, Texas!

“Craft the Fun really is the embodiment of fun and I think when you work hard, you want to play hard and not always have to worry about the technicalities and the stress of presenting and I think this competition does a great job of allowing you to have some fun, be creative and just have a good time overall and really remind you what the industry can be about,” says Makenzie.

“I’ve always tended to work in smaller more intimate bars and I think part of that is I do enjoy creating more intimate experiences by getting to know people. I think feeling like you’re at home and welcome in the space is always the most important thing: having that sense of hospitality and building relationships with new people is a great experience and I hope that when I’m working and people are at my bar, they leave thinking, ‘Oh, I can come back and I can have a good time and I have someone I can talk to that is kind of a friend.”

Congratulations, Makenzie!! Good luck in Austin!

Since its creation in the 1940s, the margarita has become an indispensable bar staple.

There is a great deal of controversy around the cocktail’s beginnings, with several arguments being made regarding its true origins, but one truth always remains the same. The key to a perfect margarita is choosing the perfect tequila. Here’s a carefully chosen collection of tequilas, each with its own unique opportunity to make a superb cocktail!

Classic Margarita

Ingredients:

• 4 oz. high-quality blanco tequila
• 2 oz. triple sec
• 1 ½ oz. fresh lime juice
• 1 lime wedge (garnish)

Preparation: Optional 1 tbsp. coarse salt for glass rim.

Don Fulano Blanco

This tequila, which contains orange blossom and jasmine aromas, is a silky and refined selection for a margarita. Having been distilled in copper and slow-cooked, the flavor and fragrance of agave blend exquisitely with apple, resulting in a harmonious and balanced finish. The seamless combination of the orange blossom and lime juice in the classic cocktail recipe results in a wonderfully balanced drink.

Tequila Ocho Blanco

This tequila has an aroma and flavor that are more rustic and organic. This blanco, which has been cultivated and refined by five generations of agave farmers, is an outstanding element for margaritas. Its citrus finish and peppery undertones will complement the lime and triple sec to create a harmonious and satisfying cocktail for everyone who tries it.

Patron Silver

This tequila is widely favored by bartenders and is frequently selected for margaritas, due to its exceptional reputation. The recipe, refined over a long period of time, is both precise and intricate. Farmers meticulously choose agave, a plant that may be harvested approximately every eight years. By subjecting it to a slow and thorough processing and heating method, a tequila of impeccable clarity and crispness is produced. The tequila’s inherent tastes are enhanced by its citrus overtones and sweetness, making this a great option for your margaritas!

Casamigos Tequila-Blanco

Unlike the previous tequilas, this tequila has a unique distinction; its flavor profile contains vanilla. Fermented extra slowly, this crystal-clear spirit delights drinkers with vanilla, grapefruit, and sweet agave. In a classic margarita, this tequila is sure to leave drinkers satisfied, as the flavor profiles pair wonderfully with the other ingredients. George Clooney, the recipient of multiple Academy Awards, founded this tequila.

1921 Blanco Tequila

This award-winning tequila is an excellent industry representative. The company’s meticulous attention to detail and knowledge of Mexican culture is evident in its products. 1921 Tequila Blanco is a clear and vibrant spirit that is ideal for combining into a cocktail. Citrus tones complement the herbaceous and sweet aromas to produce a superbly balanced and smooth tequila. This is an excellent choice for a refreshing and delectable margarita!

Frisky Whiskey is the first female, Black-owned flavored whiskey brand on the market.

The journey began in 2015 when founders Nicole Young and Jim Landis aimed to create a distinctive flavored whiskey. Initially planned as an extension of Landis’ existing line, William Wolff, the unique flavor they developed led to the birth of Frisky Whiskey as its own brand. After seven years of overcoming several challenges, Nicole and Jim succeeded in launching the highest-rated flavored whiskey ever.

Frisky Whiskey distinguishes itself by using 100% premium whiskey and natural ingredients, resulting in a smooth and inviting flavor that sets it apart from other brands that use fillers and artificial additives. The flavor profile, featuring pure caramel and natural vanilla, was chosen to enhance the natural notes of premium whiskey, providing a more authentic taste. Marketed as a “gateway whiskey,” Frisky’s smoothness and flavor make it accessible to newcomers and appealing to seasoned whiskey lovers alike. Nicole hopes other brands will start to follow suit.

“I’d love to see more flavored whiskey brands follow in Frisky’s footsteps by using natural ingredients to add depth to their taste. Chemically enhanced flavors are easier (and less expensive) to source, but the final product is not as palatable, which only deepens the intimidation factor many people experience when it comes to drinking whiskey.”

Looking to the future, Nicole plans to expand Frisky’s market presence and grow it into an international brand. She envisions Frisky Whiskey shaping consumer perceptions of whiskey, making it more inclusive and enjoyable. “The most rewarding part of this journey is the opportunity to connect with consumers and experience their joy when they take their first sip of Frisky. As a recipe developer and an entrepreneur there is nothing more rewarding than consumers enjoying my product!” Nicole’s advice to aspiring female and minority entrepreneurs in the spirits industry is to secure adequate funding.

“The best advice I can give any fledgling entrepreneur is RAISE MONEY. Launching, maintaining, and growing a brand in any industry, but especially the spirits industry, takes funding! PERIOD!”

In today’s craft cocktail culture, being forward-thinking with your drink program is important. As drinkers’ palates have evolved and become more sophisticated and complex, their desire for a well-constructed bar menu and top-shelf drink program is essential.

Serving fresh and high quality drinks can help you stand out from the crowd and encourage repeat customers. Here are a few simple tips to take your bar menu and drink program to the next level.

Think about your customer base

Your drink menu should be tailored to your type of guests. Are they professionals coming in for premium spirits and cocktails? Are they a middle-aged couple who want a good, reputable wine for dinner? It’s also important to think about the drinking occasion and who is doing the drinking. Do some market research and run a product mix report to determine what products sell and which drink categories require more attention.

Focus on Concept

Menu development and drink programs are a reflection of your establishment’s theme and personality. What kind of drinking establishment are you? Irish pub? Italian restaurant? Speakeasy? The flavors and style of your drinks and product selection should reflect your concept or theme. For example, if you are a tiki bar, then you want your menu to reflect cocktails, liquors, beers, and flavors that match a tropical and Caribbean theme, i.e. rums and frozen drinks.

Create Innovative, Seasonal Cocktails

Add creative, unique drinks to your menu that play with flavors and ingredients. Experiment with different syrups, fruits, herbs, and spices. Put a twist on a classic cocktail. Look to ethnic flavors from around the world and check out your local farmers market for inspiration. Implement a cocktail menu that uses different spirits, such as vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and whiskey and different flavor profiles. Balance out the menu with an equal amount of sweet and spirit-forward cocktails and add a few savory and spicy options for diverse palates. Introduce seasonal cocktail menus and products to give your guests something new and exciting.

Offer Non-Alcoholic/Mocktail Options

Low or no ABV drinks are becoming popular with the increased trend of healthy consciousness. Many patrons expect to have these options on the menu, or at least, expect your favorite watering hole to be able to construct them. Almost every cocktail can be transformed into a mocktail with attention to the flavor profile of the cocktail. Alcohol-free cocktails do not have to be cloyingly sweet or boring. On the contrary, they can show your creative side. The use of homemade syrups, shrubs, infusions, and craft spirit-free spirits gives you a lot of options.

Incorporate local brands

With the rise in local distilleries and breweries, try to choose some local, craft brands, especially brands that are new and hard to find, to include in your drinks program. Many of them are experimenting with different methods and flavors and are more ‘craft’ in their approach. Sourcing fresh, local ingredients, like fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices can elevate your drinks. Placing a small distillery’s name on the menu can spark conversation about it. People like to support local businesses and would be willing to pay for handcrafted products and fresh ingredients.

Boston semi-finalist winner Natasha Van Duser earns a spot in the Craft the Fun finals and is going to Austin, Texas!!

“I wanted to compete in the Craft the Fun Cocktail Challenge with Deep Eddy Vodka because I love the idea of a competition being focused on fun. I got into bartending because I loved going to bars and having fun with the clientele and staff and I felt this competition embodied that playful spirit that got me into the industry,” says Van Duser.

“Bartending is all about the customers and the environment you both create. I wouldn’t be half the bartender I am today if it wasn’t for the regulars I’ve had over the years. So, it’s always important to me to make the customers feel like they, too, are a part of the bar, not just patrons coming and going from time to time. One of my favorite things to do is meet new people and custom build a brand-new drink based on whatever conversation we strike up”

Congratulations Natasha!! Good luck in Austin!

The remaining semifinals will take place in Chicago and San Diego. A total of five bartenders, one from each of the regional competitions, are chosen to compete as finalists in Austin, and receive $1,000 each as a prize. Regional runners-up will receive $500 and regional competitors who placed 3rd-6th will receive $100.

Additionally, the five regional winners will receive an all-expense paid trip to Austin, TX September 15th-18th for a chance to become the 2024 Craft the Fun Cocktail Challenge Winner.

Casa Azul Tequila is made with the highest quality agave and doesn’t use any additives or chemicals in the process of being made, making it a 100% USDA certified organic tequila.

Each agave plant is tended by hand until fully mature, and their piñas are baked low and slow in a traditional stone oven. The fermentation process lasts 7-12 days in open stainless steel tanks, enhancing the tequila’s natural aromas. The tequila is then twice distilled in pot stills and rested for two months, naturally aerating for a smooth and soft profile before aging. The result is an exceptional tequila bottled at 80 proof and 40% ABV.

Below are 6 recipes from Casa Azul that are definitely worth trying. Check them out and to learn more, go to casaazulspirits.com.
