Orson Salicetti is a Venezuelan mixologist based in New York City. In this video (produced and directed by ChezJJP during the StarChefs days), Orson uses the professional bar blender from Vita-Mix to make a pretty cool cocktail in several stages using mezcal and watermelon. It's quite an interesting application of a blender—which you never see in proper cocktail bars—in a pretty contemporary drink recipe. Read more about Orson here.
