Ben Scorah
The Big Apple is home is to many creative bartenders, who craft cocktails with everything from flowers to bacon. But only one can hold the title of Bombay Sapphire/GQ Magazine's most inspired bartender. This year Ben Scorah, of the international Bar & Books chain took home the title for NYC. Ben created a sophisticated cocktail that impressed the judges and won a trip to Las Vegas for the finals, where he scored into the top 10 in the country.
Ben created the Sapphire Vienna cocktail, which is:
SAPPHIRE VIENNA COCKTAIL
- 1½ oz Bombay Sapphire gin, ½ oz Blood Orange, ¾ oz Aperol, ½ oz Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth , and ½ oz Simple Syrup
Shake with ice & serve up in a chilled cocktail glass; garnished with an orange twist
