We Ask Bartender Sara Chaudhuri about Using her Graphic Design Background in Cocktail Creation

By | Mixology News

Sara Chaudhuri, Lead Bartender at the One Michelin-starred Bresca and a Tales of the Cocktail Top 10 Semifinalist, leverages her background in graphic design to craft Bresca’s Ethos cocktail menu, blending life experiences with nostalgia and sentiment through unique ingredients.

Her journey in the industry began while studying art in New York, where she discovered her passion for hospitality while working at bars. Upon returning to D.C., she gained her first Michelin-star experience at Rose’s Luxury, where she found an outlet for her creativity in crafting cocktails. Two years ago, she joined Bresca and now leads their cocktail program.

Guests at Bresca can expect top-tier food and cocktails, coupled with exceptional hospitality. Sara ensures personalized touches, such as welcome cards for special occasions and treats for guests’ pets, making everyone feel at home while enjoying exquisite drinks. “We are very honored to be one of the best restaurant bars in Washington D.C., and I love being able to use the resources provided by the Michelin kitchen at Bresca and the two Michelin Star Chef’s Counter at Jônt in creating our cocktails. Working with pastry teams specifically has allowed me to really focus on the creations of garnishes that accentuate and enhance the cocktail.”

Before taking over the bar at Bresca, Sara admired the omakase cocktail flight called “Flavour,” which highlighted different singular ingredients. Inspired by this concept, she developed “Ethos,” a cocktail experience that creates a deeper emotional connection with guests through the evocative power of flavors. Each cocktail in Ethos follows an emotional narrative, representing a feeling, state of mind, or moment in time, structured as a journey through the day.

“The cocktails go from ‘Sunlight,’ the joy of the sun hitting your face on a cold day, to ‘Backyard Party,’ a lively margarita variation with your friends, to ‘Selfcare,’ a clarified milk punch that reminds you of a face wash and climbing into warm sheets, followed by ‘Warmth,’ a Manhattan that evokes the warmth of seeing an old friend, and finally, ‘Leisure,’ having the rest of the day to yourself. Ethos II features five different expressive cocktails: Dew, Bodega, Cinema, Home, and Fireside.”

The Sunlight, a cocktail inspired by the Airmail, was the first cocktail in the Ethos experience. “The idea was to create a universal experience in a glass: feeling the sunlight hitting your face on a cold day. You know how when the sun hits you, you feel that tingle and hope? That’s what the Champagne in the cocktail was supposed to represent. The cocktail also had Iichiko Shochu for the umami flavor and St. Germain because the elderflower blooms in the sun just like excitement blooms at the start of a new day. It was a cocktail to celebrate adventure and new beginnings.” Sara’s approach not only connects with guests on a personal level but also serves as a creative platform for Sara to experiment with complex cocktail-making techniques.

Sara’s inspiration comes from The Flavor Bible, which is her second favorite resource after consulting the Michelin Star chefs she works with. She often uses it to connect different flavor ideas and create uncommon combinations, such as adding raspberry to the rice tuile in the Sunrise/Sunset cocktail instead of beet for additional complexity. The book includes personal anecdotes from chefs about their signature dishes and philosophies, offering valuable insights for bartending. For bartenders who are interested in creating innovative cocktails and balancing color and flavor, Sara offers these tips: Always prioritize taste. Express yourself through your drinks, treating them as an art form. Balance is crucial, particularly with acids and vinegars. Lastly, be willing to discard elements that don’t work, even if you love them, to ensure the cocktail remains delicious, as that is the priority.

Take a Sip of Maui with Pilina’s Mauka Cocktail

By | Mixology News

Welcome to the embodiment of Hawaii’s famous aloha spirit.

One of the most iconic hotels on the tropical island of Maui, the Fairmont Kea Lani recently underwent a massive renovation. Located on the shores of idyllic Wailea, it’s a breezy, eye-popping gateway. Wake up early with a cup of coffee and feast your eyes on a luscious sunrise, wade in one of their Instagram-worthy pools, take a canoe out for a guided tour, and end the day with a sunset so spectacular, it regularly spurs applause from gawkers on the beach.

Aside from a massive airy lobby and sunny, modernized rooms (many with views of the beach), the Kea Lani recently opened Pilina. An instant gamechanger for the Hawaiian cocktail scene, it’s the grand creation of Cameron Hall, the bar’s General Manager. Hall, who’s worked at Fairmont properties in Bermuda to Whistler, Canada, built its program from the ground up. Along the way, he infused that aloha spirit into the heart of the entire operation.

What makes Pilina special?

The opportunity to create a space that offers not only exceptional views and ambiance but showcases Hawaii’s local farmers, ranchers, fishermen, distillers, and brewers is a Kuleana (responsibility) that I am grateful to accept. Our hope is for Pilina to provide more than just a culinary experience, but a sensory escape to paradise, where every sip and bite is a celebration of the breathtaking beauty that surrounds us.

We know many ingredients are locally sourced. Why was that important for you?

We chose to prioritize authentically showcasing our ‘sense of place’ through our food and beverage program. By highlighting Hawaiian ingredients, we not only support local farmers and producers but also offer our guests a genuine taste of the region’s rich culinary heritage. We wanted to highlight unique ingredients which you don’t see on other beverage menus in hope that our guests walk away with new knowledge or learning a new ingredient. If just one person learns something new about Hawaiian ingredients while dining in Pilina, then I feel like we have accomplished something.

What are some of Pilina’s stand-out concoctions?

We partnered with Kuleana Rum works to create our very own bespoke rum blend specifically for Pilina. We chose to combine this with local Mai’a (bananas), Kona Coffee Beans, La’ie Vanilla beans (from Oahu), Campari, and Sweet Vermouth for our Pilina twist on the Kingston Negroni. It has become a crowd favorite for negroni drinkers like myself.

For the Pilina Mai Tai, we chose to use Hawaiian Agricole Rum from Ko Hana for the base of our Mai Tai and mix it with a unique take on orgeat. We make our orgeat with Big Island Macadamia Nuts and Kukui Nuts. I have not seen kukui nuts used in a cocktail program before, so it gives me a good feeling that we are able to showcase an ingredient with such a big impact in the history of Hawaiian Culture. In this cocktail, we also use Maui Gold Pineapple to make a shrub and finish it with a topping of Ko Hana Kokoleka, an agricole rum which is aged in a barrel with local cacao and honey.

Make Hall’s favorite cocktail on his menu, the Mauka:
