Top Chicago Bartenders on Scotch, Mmmm

Photobucket

Just in time for the real deal winter, three of Chicago's top 'tenders recently teamed up with comedian Baratunde Thurston and The Black Grouse Scotch for the first-ever Distinctive Bartender Tour.

The multi-city tour also traveled to Los Angeles, Miami and New York, and bartenders were charged with the task of creating some inventive cocktails using the spirit.

Representing Chicago were Lynn House (Blackbird), Charles Joly (The Drawing Room) and Mike Ryan (Sable Kitchen & Bar), who shook and stirred seasonal sippers certain to keep you warm during the coldest months of the year.

Check out their videos below to see how to make them at home:

Baconfest Chicago returns in April and Eater Chicago has got all the deets.

My recommendation if you plan on going this year to check out offerings from more than 200 restaurants?!

Act as though you were training for a marathon. Get on a workout plan NOW.
