World's Top Hotel Bartenders Spill Their Secret Recipes

We just got a little schooling from the world's hottest bartenders and our heads are spinning (and not just from the booze). It's clear these mixologists know how to shake and rattle, and at times it was hard to keep up! But nevertheless, we couldn't wait for them to reveal their secrets -- so we could then share them with you. We chatted with six amazing hotel bartenders to get the dish on which cocktails they like to whip up the most. So next time you saddle up to one of these hotel bars, be sure to ask for the bartender's favorite. You'll even be able to tell them how to make it!

      Top with fresh lime foam, made with one cup of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and one sheet of gelatin. These measurements can be adjusted based on desired sweetness and thickness of foam. In order to make the foam, combine the lime juice and sugar in a pot and bring to a boil. After boiling, drop the gelatin in until it disappears, stirring constantly; then let it cool. The gelatin must be prepared with cold water before dropping it into the pot.
