When is a cocktail a painting in a glass? When it’s created by Robert Porter, a masterful artist and mainstay behind one of Phoenix’s most venerable resort bars, the Thirsty Camel Lounge at The Phoenician.

Phoenix filmmaker Andrew Gooi's Food Talkies series shares the stories behind local dishes, as told by the tastemakers who've crafted them. In this video, bartender Robert Porter describes the ingredients and creative process behind his cocktail, the Cinnamon Samurai, and how that craft is mirrored in his personal artwork. The Cinnamon Samurai advanced Porter to a subsequent round of the 2016 Devour Phoenix Bartending Competition, where he took top prize. His drinks are available at the Thirsty Camel, a casual lounge inside the luxury Phoenician resort at the base of Camelback Mountain.
