The only place up here where the term "mixologist" gets used is at the Red Robin hamburger chain, and their cocktails have never impressed me. Murray is a pretty down-to-earth guy. One review I found online noted that, after a night of great drinks, the writer told Murray he'd done amazing, special stuff. Murray looks surprised and said, "...did I do something unusual?" He's also the only tender I've found who, when ordering an oddball cocktail, has told me, "I don't make that as well as Erik (other tender), he'll make you a great one." Murray and Erik are bartenders you'll want to get a rapport with. I'll pass him the recipe for the basic Mai Tai, and I'll look up the Jet/Test Pilot. Thanks for the recipe and advice!
