The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota's in-house restaurant Jack Dusty unveiled four new nautical themed cocktails. Presented by lead bartender Ingi Sigurdsson, the four cocktails were created by four bartenders on staff at Jack Dusty, and they explore the range of the liquor shelf and flavor profiles on the menu. The four beverages' (Young Man and the Sea, Up Spirits, The Princeton and Over the Barrel) names sound like the titles of compelling short stories and storytelling is Sigurdsson's mission.
"All my favorite drinks have a story and a history," says Ingurdsson. "Storytelling adds so much more to the drink. Now everyone doesn't want to be taught a history lesson while at the bar, but if customers want to talk, I will talk their ear off."
In addition, executive chef Caleb Taylor presented seven new dishes ranging from light appetizers to full and compelling entrées.
