The quintet in Meet the Mixologists shows Omni Hotels commitment to the art of the cocktail.
Each of the 5 cocktail masters ( 'mixologist' sounds a bit cold to me) represents different geographic sensibilities and tastes.
Omni Hotels almost achieves parity by including 2 women in their star team.
Kim Haasarud's influence can be found in Omni's Texas locations. She is the author of 101 Mojitos and other Muddled Drinks (Wiley, 2011) and the rest of the 101 series. She also founded Liquid Architecture…
As for Christy Pope she has her fingers all over the map of cocktail scene in past decade. Her creations are featured in Omni's from New Hampshire to D.C.
Sante!
