Cocktails with Tony Abou-Ganim - Liqour.com
If you've ever had a great—or even a good—cocktail in Las Vegas, one of the people you need to thank is Tony Abou-Ganim. In 1998 hotelier Steve Wynn hired him to set up and run the 22 bars in the Bellagio. During his five years at the casino, Abou-Ganim (aka the Modern Mixologist) served classic recipes and promoted traditional techniques, like using fresh juice, which put the Bellagio on the mixology map. "We weren't trying to recreate the wheel," he says. "We were trying to make the wheel better."

"Whereas Dale DeGroff is considered one of the Masters, Tony Abou-Ganim is certainly on par with the best of the best in the U.S. these days. He's worked at the Bellagio in Vegas and does a ton of consulting around the country. His new book is both fascinating – from a historical perspective – as well as informational, with all sorts of helpful photos on techniques, tools and other miscellaneous requirements to becoming a better bar chef. I spoke with Tony at Drinks Over Dearborn last week, as he stopped in town on his book tour."
