End your week with an award-winning cocktail, tonight only 09.09.11
Have you ever had an award-winning cocktail? How about one with cumin, carrots, egg whites and gin? One of the bartending industry’s most prestigious cocktail competitions took place on August 23 with a state-wide search for “The Most Inspired Bartender” competition. The winner was Milagro Cantina and Hector’s own Mark Sexauer with his inspired cocktail, The Forager.
The fun doesn’t end there. Mark is taking The Forager to Las Vegas this weekend to compete against 46 other bartenders from around the country for the national title of “The Most Inspired Bartender.” The winner doesn’t just walk away with the title, but will also walk away with the cover of an upcoming GQ magazine (after all, it’s their competition along with the United States Bartenders Guild) and fly to London for the international competition.
How you can join the fun? Mark will be shaking up The Forager TONIGHT ONLY at Milagro Cantina. Taste how creative and balanced a cocktail can be and, as 425 Magazine puts it, “support your local bartender!” And why not? It’s a gorgeous day for a Forager.
Check out the recipe that Mark shared with Seattle Met. Thirsty yet? We’ll see you soon!

The winner for Best New Restaurant – Milagro Cantina! 07.01.11
This has been a year of many, many, MANY new restaurants gracing the greater Seattle area. From Redmond to West Seattle, Woodinville to Kent, there has been a new restaurant cropping up every week – or so it seems! The competition is tough, but we believe that competition breeds excellence . . .
We are very pleased to announce that our client, Milagro Cantina, has been voted Best New Restaurant by the readers of 425 Magazine. Open a mere six months, the crew at Milagro started with a bang and has only been getting better and better, putting their best foot forward and creating wonderful impression upon memorable impression for the guests that walk through their steel doors.
The July issue of 425 Magazine, out on newsstands today, also includes a four page spread on Milagro Cantina and Chef Chris Peterson. That gives you at least two reasons to pick up the magazine – and the editors give you many, many more reasons to grab your own Best Of issue or read online.
A big thanks to all that voted for Milagro. If you haven’t been yet then the outdoor patio, a plate of tacos and a Prickly Pear Lemonade should give you reason enough to check out Milagro Cantina this summer and decide for yourself!
