Boulud Palm Beach. Jason’s recipe for Poached Oysters with

Pernod Mixing
Magic Cocktail Contest
Chefs aren’t the only restaurant professionals
inspired by Pernod. This fall, StarChefs invited all mixologists,
bartenders and bar chefs to participate in the Mixing Magic Cocktail
Contest and create an original Pernod cocktail.
The competition was fierce, and the use of Pernod
was certainly creative. The first round of judging took place at
the Flatiron Lounge in New York City, where master
bar chef Julie Reiner tested the recipes of 30
original Pernod cocktails. Our judging panel narrowed the field
down to 5 finalists:
