For those who might think that a mixologist is some sort of Olympic athlete, it is not so. The dictionary defines a mixologist as someone who is very good a mixing alcoholic beverages or cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much more than a barkeep from the old days, a mixologist is a true master of the craft. Like all crafts, there are competitions, and in the world of making cocktails, there is a standout young Dominican lady, Yandery Crispin, who just brought home the first place prize from an international competition in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Crispin works at the Westin Puntacana Resort & Club, and her signature cocktail \u201cRemembranza\u201d took the gold in a competition that represented hotels and bars from across the Caribbean and Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 Masters of the Craft competition of Marriott International was held at the Westin Santa Fe in Mexico City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each of the three categories, contestants were given a mystery ingredient to be included in their special effort. There were three different competitions: Gastronomy, Cocktails, and Desserts. In Cocktails, the secret ingredient was Shiitake mushrooms, and in her Remembranza the inclusion of the exotic mushroom was a major success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given only seven minutes to prepare her cocktail, Crispin combined the woody overtones of Scotch whiskey, fresh pineapple juice, the bitter Italian aperitif Aperol and a unique shiitake-flavored syrup to her winning effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors to the Punta Cana area can try the drink at the Punta Cana Westin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
