KIM HAASARUD is the founder of Liquid Architecture (www.liquid-architecture.com), a beverage consulting firm that creates specialty cocktails for clients such as the Four Seasons, Omni Hotels, and TGI Fridays.

Kim's liquid cuisine has stirred up a huge following, and her cocktails have appeared in publications ranging from the Wall Street Journal to the Wine Enthusiast to Cosmopolitan. She is also the author of 101 Martinis and 101 Margaritas.
