Chandelier Bar Brings New Orleans Cocktails to Four Seasons Hotel Chicago for One Night Only

Chandelier Bar of Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans will bring the Crescent City to Adorn, the restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, for a special pop-up event. On Friday, September 20, 2024 from 5:00 to 10:00 pm, guests will be transported to New Orleans with cocktails crafted by Beverage Director Hadi Ktiri and Head Bartender Casey Miller. 

Beverage Director Hadi Ktiri will showcase takes on New Orleans’ cocktails. Originally from Los Angeles, Ktiri followed his passion for hospitality to New Orleans. For the last 13 years he’s been running some of the city’s cocktail bars and hotel beverage programs including French 75 Bar, where he worked alongside barman Chris Hannah; The Roosevelt Hotel; and The Ritz-Carlton. 

This evening will offer four signature cocktails:

• Roffignac – Named for the 1820s New Orleans mayor responsible for the city’s streetlamps and cobblestone streets – made here with Siete Misterios mezcal, raspberry citrus shrub, and seltzer.
• Cocktail Orléans – A tribute to the city’s classic dark and stirred cocktails, blending aged American whiskeys from Michter’s, Italian liqueurs and bitters.
• Sazerac – The creation of Creole apothecary Antoine Peychaud in the 1830s, possibly the first true cocktail, featuring Michter’s rye, pastis, cane sugar, and Peychaud’s bitters.
• World's Fair Fizz – A floral take on a sour cocktail, made with Farmer’s organic gin, lemon, wildflower honey, egg whites, butterfly pea flower tea, and Champagne.

Guests will also be provided the sounds of High Hat Second Line, and light bites from Adorn’s Chef Richie Farina. Adorn’s culinary team has curated a selection of bites that highlight Chicago while paying homage to New Orleans' flavors and spirit.
