Going For the Wynn
from The Speakeasy
How do you scale a molecular mixology program up from one property to several dozen? The first step is to love being busy and fortunately Mariena Mercer-Boarini fits that bill. The master mixologist for Wynn Resorts North America talks through her thought process for running beverage programs from Boston to Macao, the intense infrastructure she’s built in her hometown of Las Vegas to keep all her locations humming, and an upcoming street festival featuring a number of Speakeasy alumni. She also gets into her side projects highlighting buzz buttons, a naturally occurring compound that does a number on your taste buds. We can not fully endorse trying it while on air. Plus, it’s Curbside Dining Week! Or at least… it was. Greg and Sother process their feelings about this relic of the pandemic and how sometimes even if you love something, you have to let it go.
