The Art of Mixology with Tural
<p>What does it take to craft a cocktail that tells a story? In this episode of Indulge, Tural Hasanov, the Beverage Director at the Tampa EDITION Hotel, shares his inspiring journey to becoming a mixology expert shaping Tampa’s cocktail scene.The conversation explores the artistry behind cocktail creation, the cultural influences that shape beverage preferences, and the unique experiences offered at the Punch Room. Tural breaks down why quality ingredients matter, the fascinating history and evolution of punch, and the creative twists that keep classics like the martini and espresso martini alive. He also highlights the power of branding in the alcohol industry and how community collaboration can transform local cocktail culture.Listeners will hear how global traditions influence drink-making, what truly defines a “classic” cocktail, and why innovation and storytelling are just as important as technique.
