Name:<\/strong> Jordan Robertson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: <\/strong>Mixologist at Kai<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instagram:<\/strong> @Jordan_indie93<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find me mixing drinks at\u2026<\/strong> Kai at Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite drink to make is\u2026\u00a0<\/strong>Flight of Butterfly, our Patr\u00f3n Tequila cocktail flight that includes three distinct cocktails: Caterpillar, Cocoon, and Butterfly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d most like to mix a drink for\u2026<\/strong> Elon Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I could have one superpower while working, it\u2019d be\u2026<\/strong> to clone myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were a flavor, I\u2019d be\u2026<\/strong> jalape\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My biggest bartending fail\u2026<\/strong> My first martini I used sweet vermouth instead of dry vermouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My top drink and food recommendation to guests is\u2026<\/strong> Start with the escargot, wild mushrooms and caramel goat cheese for food and order the Sko\u2019ok for a cocktail, which is our take on a spicy margarita made with jalape\u00f1o infused Patron Silver, lime, pineapple, cilantro and agave nectar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m not working, I enjoy sipping on\u2026<\/strong> Aviations or tequila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite place in town for drinks is\u2026<\/strong> my home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meet Jordan Robertson, mixologist at Kai, Arizona’s only AAA Five Diamond Award and
