Hi my name is Noah, I’m 22 and I’m from Portland, Oregon. I fell in love with cocktails right after leaving college. I quickly climbed the ranks from busser, to Barback, to bartender and then Mixologist and manager before restarting in Vegas recently
Cocktail Inspiration
This cocktail is inspired by the city of New Orleans for both the invention of the Sazerac (the template for my cocktail) and the famous Café du Monde. I wanted to create a cocktail that had delicious spice and vanilla coffee while still keeping the main focus on the base spirit(s), thus the Café du Minuit was born
