TGIF: More than Glasses Raising for Aviary Cocktail Book’s Kickstarter Campaign
Summary
Depending on when your weekend starts, whether on Thursday night or Friday afternoon or the more traditional Friday evening, you may be tempted to have cocktails every night made with guidance of The Aviary Cocktail Book after glimpsing at the extraordinary concoctions from Alinea creators and owners Grant Achatz and Nick Kokonas and California artists Allen Hemberger and Sarah Hemberger. To date over 1,688 backers have committed over $189,000 toward The Aviary Cocktail Book Kickstarter campaign, shaking up (stirring, setting afire, muddling) the original $50K goal. Grant recalls some of his formative years as a chef, when he was first learning his craft and was poring over massive, jaw-dropping tomes in search of knowledge. “By removing the middleman, we believe we can create something even more unique for our supporters,” commented Achatz and Kokonas on Kickstarter regarding the book’s production. “We’ll even explore rare products, antique selections, and clever culinary techniques that can set your drinks apart… Where we go from here largely depends on the support we receive for this book.
