Ektoras Binikos  - Mixologist

Ektoras is the founder of ART & MIXOLOGY (www.artandspiritmixology.com) and formerly the Head Mixologist at 3 Star restaurants Aureole and Oceana in NYC.  He is a pioneer and continues to be a creative force in the new American cocktail renaissance.  His award-winning cocktails reflect the pure and natural ethos of our new American global cuisine, featuring fresh, exotic ingredients in surprising combinations.

Born in  Greece and educated in Athens and New York, Ektoras possesses a distinguished background as a multi-media artist that informs his approach to mixology.  To him, the perfect cocktail should please the eye and nose as well as the palate; it should provide a transcendent experience that amazes and excites.  To that end, he immerses himself in the process of creating beautiful and original concoctions that achieve balance between its elements.
