New York's 'mad scientist of drinks' experiments on the Tokyo scene

by Nicholas Coldicott

When Dave Arnold turned up in Tokyo this week for some guest bartending at the Park Hyatt, he brought his tools with him.

Not his shaker, spoons or mixing glass -- his hosts have all that. Arnold packed two carbonation rigs, a tachometer, a bag of enzymes, firing agents and a 500-watt iron poker.

Arnold, 40, is New York City?s mad scientist of drinks. His usual home is Manhattan?s Booker and Dax bar, where he?s known for distilling his own drinks, pouring liquid nitrogen, clarifying juices and sticking that red-hot poker of his into beverages.

From May 30 through Saturday, though, he?ll be serving his potable science at the Park Hyatt?s New York Bar in Tokyo.
