1/ There's a fascinating story of a normal guy named Allen Hemberger who became obsessed with the Alinea cookbook. He spent 5 years re-creating all 107 recipes.

There's an extremely valuable lesson in this process for anyone thinking about taking the leap to become a creator.

I'm pleased that the State of Illinois is working with TAG to provide *free* Covid testing in the West Loop for hospitality industry employees and the neighboring members of the community. The first walk up testing will be this Saturday across from The Aviary. Anyone may test.

@ryanlonghenry @nickkokonas The strainer should pull most of those cacao, vanilla and nutmeg flecks out. How did it turn out?

All the flavor, none of the alcohol.

@OneForkShort @nickkokonas These were blended, barrel aged and bottled at Mississippi River Distilling Company with their spirits.

[The Aviary @AviaryCocktails]

@AliTMoresco @nickkokonas Yes they will! We are making them fresh daily and when we run out of the non perishable supplies we will switch over to a new drink, probably middle of next week.

@Chibettor @Gobst1 @nickkokonas Tequila Cabeza, fresh pineapple and lime juice with ancho chili, curaçao, and allspice cordial.
Plus some lime wedges and a bit of Jamaican jerk salt for the glass rim garnish.

@thejeffbyrnes It’s somewhere between those two, and guests usually sit between 2 hours and 2:30 to enjoy the 5-course.

@ebroder It’s easier and you will get better yield if you spin the cocktail in its entirety.
