The High-Tech Highball
At the Aviary, in Chicago, bartenders experiment with cocktails that evolve as you sip them
By WAYNE CURTIS
CRAIG SCHOETTLER, THE cocktail chef at the Aviary in Chicago, looks like a scientific researcher at a mid-size university. He wears interesting rectangular glasses and, though soft-spoken, enters a room with authority. Before signing on as a barman with the chef and restaurateur Grant Achatz, Schoettler, a culinary-school graduate, had limited experience with how cocktail ingredients might work together to form new and interesting combinations. But like any scientist, he was intrigued by the question.
