Join us for a journey to the forefront of modern mixology with Craig Schoettler, the acclaimed Executive Director of Beverage for MGM Resorts International. We trace his remarkable path from pioneering the culinary cocktails at Chicago's famed Alinea and The Aviary to now shaping the global beverage vision for a Las Vegas hospitality empire. Schoettler pulls back the curtain on his most ambitious project yet: The Vault, a hidden bar inside Bellagio Las Vegas where guests can "drink history" from a menu of rare vintage spirits and historically reimagined cocktails. He reveals how his unique background allows him to merge precise culinary technique with deep spirits knowledge, creating a luxury experience that is as intellectually engaging as it is delicious. This conversation explores the evolution of cocktail culture and how pushing creative boundaries can redefine an entire industry's standards.
