Todd Maul's Hunter Cocktail for Travel + Leisure

Todd Maul has been creating some truly amazing beverages at Ken Oringer's Clio restaurant ever since he took over the reigns at the bar a few years back, and has been gaining more and more notoriety as well. Travel + Leisure contacted him wanting some images of his fall inspired Hunter Cocktail. This is probably the 10^th cocktail I have photographed for Mr. Maul as we move towards creating a book but the first to hopefully fall on the pages of Travel + Leisure.

It is also a superb concoction. Todd describes the drink as an image of fall with autumn fruit and waning green undertones of the season.

He starts off with a burnt brown oak and cinnamon smoked glass.

Then what is to be mixed: sage "flash" infused white rum, clarified cider, sparkling cider and a lemon honey bourbon syrup. Garnished with mace, flowers and sage

Stunning and spectacular. You can see more of his libations on my facebook cocktail gallery.
