About the bartender: Emma Villarreal
Emma Villarreal
The inspiration for this cocktail began with the custom syrup, based on a wine buttercream frosting Emma has been developing for a cupcake. She wanted the cocktail to be seasonal, using a depth of fall flavors such as cinnamon, orange peel and cloves. Using that platform, her cocktail syrup came to life. Pairing that with the chosen bourbon, Old Forester Statesman, the cocktail became the, "Henderson State of Mind.” She wanted to show a bit of love to the Henderson/Water Street area, with new businesses such as Biscuits and Bourbon giving new life to the local-driven part of Las Vegas.
Emma showcases her creativity in many facets of life, combining her passion for spirits as a bartender, to developing her own Spirit-infused Ice Cream and baked goods. This talent shines through with her ability to combine ingredients and flavors into beautiful cocktails and desserts, making her the perfect choice from our team for the Old Forester Old Fashioned cocktail competition.
