Danielle Pizzutillo found out pretty quickly that Thailand doesn't have a flourishing cocktail scene. So the Embeya beverage director had to improvise and create a cocktail program that would mesh with the flavors chef Thai Dang is creating on his menu for the forthcoming West Loop restaurant. What resulted is an innovative drink list involving cordials, eclectic ingredients, gelatins and jellies and cocktails like the Jackfruit Cultivar (cachaca, allspice, jackfruit cordial and lemon). "I'm trying to bridge the gap between ingredients and spirit techniques." [Grub Street] (photo)
