Bartender Ignacio Murillo makes a Bartlett Sour Cocktail at A.O.C. Restaurant

Ignacio Murillo is the bartender extraordinaire at A.O.C. Wine Bar in West Hollywood. He crafts a unique and stunning cocktail menu based entirely on seasonal availability. He shows us a favorite fall cocktail — the Bartlett Sour made with bourbon and poached pears. This drink contains a pear and white wine purée spiced with cinnamon, clove and bay leaves. Next he adds an orgeat syrup with almonds, water, and sugar. Combine that with bourbon, garnish with a beautiful dehydrated pear slice and… voilà! The Bartlett Sour!

Murillo’s cocktails are delicious, inspired concoctions that are a perfect pairing with Chef/Owner Suzanne Goin’s seasonal market menu offerings at the legendary A.O.C. Wine Bar and Restaurant.
