CRAIG SCHOETTLER, THE cocktail chef at the Aviary in Chicago, looks like a scientific researcher at a mid-size university. He wears interesting rectangular glasses and, though soft-spoken, enters a room with authority. Before signing on as a barman with the chef and restaurateur Grant Achatz, Schoettler, a culinary-school graduate, had limited experience with how cocktail ingredients might work together to form new and interesting combinations. But like any scientist, he was intrigued by the question.

Behind any great cocktail bar these days is a large assortment of bitters, from orange and celery to spicy mole. While you can now buy a wide range of these artisanal products, many bartenders make their own tinctures from an array of obscure herbs and exotic spices.

Sounds like my kind of place…

At the Tippler: High-Concept Blender Drinks and Shot Pairings

By ROBERT SIMONSON

The Tippler, beneath the Chelsea Market.

Tad Carducci — one of the founders of the new Chelsea bar the Tippler and half of the cocktail consulting team called the Tippling Bros. — wants his new saloon to be a local bar that appeals to all thirsts, not another haute cocktail emporium.

“The whole menu is kind of whimsical, doesn’t take itself very seriously,” Mr. Carducci said. “We take the quality of the drinks very seriously. But we don’t want the Tippler to be a serious place.”

In these final few days of summer, it’s particularly important to make an effort to enjoy the last of the season’s ripe fruit. (There’s plenty of time this autumn and winter to sip straight whiskey and fix Manhattans.)

To help you mix up some delicious and refreshing cocktails, we asked award-winning bartender and Liquor.com contributor Charlotte Voisey to host a series of four short films for us. The first, just released, is Farm to Drink: Sweet Concoctions
