This just might be one of the best cocktails I have ever had – hands down. Trust me, after the first sip you will know why they named the drink Jesus H Christ. The mixture of Pear, cardamom and habañero is the perfect balance of sweet, fresh and spicy. If you can’t make it to Maurepas Foods in New Orleans, here’s the recipe to try at home.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
