Robert Hess - Bio
Robert Hess, a Director at Microsoft, traces his interest in cocktail to a childhood fascination of bartenders who effortlessly transformed the contents of the bottles around them into gleaming jewels of refreshment. Eventually he took action on these early memories, absorbing all he could about the classic art of mixology. Using his culinary training as a canvas, he views cocktails as a cuisine with the same artistic flavor potentials as that of any French chef. He has since become a ceaseless evangelist of quality cocktails, working with restaurants, bartenders, and consumers as well as creating the informative and widely recognized website DrinkBoy.com to increase recognition and respect for this undervalued art. He has also been working with other notable mixologists across the country to found The Museum of the American Cocktail with an exhibit in New Orleans (temporarily closed for obvious reasons), and soon to open up in New York and Las Vegas.
“with the same artistic flavor potentials as that of any French chef” LOL! Great bio Robert.
