Eben Freeman is a native New Yorker and currently works with chef Sam Mason at Tailor where he has created one of the most celebrated cocktail programs in Manhattan. In 2002, Freeman joined chefs Wylie Dufresne and Sam Mason at wd-50 and it was there that Freeman’s “chef-driven” style of bartending was fully realized. He has been invited to participate in numerous esteemed seminars such as Bols Liqueurs’ molecular mixology seminar in Paris with noted molecular gastronomist, Herve This. Ever since, Freeman has been pushing the boundaries of the cocktail and has endeavored to challenge perceptions with his innovative and unexpected approach. We thank him for sharing his totally cool "Fruitcake Flip" with us.
