Born in Mexico City, Miguel Aranda moved to New York City when he was 14 years old. During his high school years, he worked at Patron Restaurant in the city as a dish water. Then Aranda took a job as a bar back in a local nightclub where he fell in love with the craft of mixology. Meanwhile he attended college and trained to be a cadet in the Police Academy. Aranda then became a police officer for two years, yet he soon realized that he wasn't meant to be a policeman. Aranda then went back to his passion and went to a bartending school while working for Geoffrey Zakarian at Town Restaurant as a bartender. Inspired by the famed European mixologist, Albert Trummar, Aranda learned to approach cocktails from a culinary perspective and develop his own style with a multi-cultural approach. Today Aranda has his own company, Bar-Chef Group that consults with a number of successful chefs and restaurants including MASA, Daniel, Thor, Wallse, Town and many others to come. Aranda hopes to travel the world to find the local fresh exotic fruits and exchange ideas with other mixologists, while he works on his first cocktail book. Please join Miguel Aranda at The Plaza Hotel Bar, located right across from Central Park in Manhattan.
