The elitist mentality of 'mixologists' is simply self-destruction. All trends pass, and the only constants have great passion and integrity for the art / craft / education of serving cocktails. A short skirt, easy smile and attitude in the proper balance could end world hunger. I prefer 'bartender.' This is an amazing post.

He is one of the most recognizable and beloved, and that's why I chose his name. I do give them credit, and I am sad to see the profession I love be saturated with people who don't care for the business of waiting on people. Maybe if enough people talk about it, the trend towards cocktails being the priority over service will change! Bob – Of course there are, I completely agree!

Sad that we have to articles like this at all, actually. There are more hospitable bartenders in this city than just Murray Stenson. Don't we think it is time to give them credit for doing just as he has done for 30 years? Sad that we have to have articles like this every week.

While I love what the cocktail revolution has done and enjoy the classics on a regular basis, I don't appreciate the sneers and attitude when I simply want a cold beer or a vodka soda. It should be about the customer's experience, NOT the mixologist's experience!! Bravo!

Nice to see it getting some love here. I use it in place of triple sec and orange curacao in tiki drinks to great effect. There's such complexity--can't beat it!

That'd be like getting a piercing or tattoo without the pain - learn to appreciate the good and bad!

The dates were the ones presented at the seminar, I have not cross-referenced them myself. I do know that several states had similar laws on the books at the time, and I did a quick search and found <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124061664179455005.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this</a> in the WSJ about it.
