The Bastion Collection<\/a> \u2014 an international hospitality group that has collectively been awarded 10 Michelin stars since 2019 and is behind Michelin-starred Le Jardinier at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston \u2014 and Caf\u00e9 Natalie, a Houston leader in luxury events and catering.<\/p>\nSince opening, Bar Moon has become a popular spot for cocktails in the Post Oak area, whether you\u2019re stopping by after dinner or making it part of your weekend plans.<\/p>\n
And now, you can get a taste of Bar Moon at home. Joao Diniz, director of hospitality, is shaking up two of the lounge\u2019s cocktails on \u201cHouston Life.\u201d Originally from Brazil, Diniz has spent seven years in the hospitality industry, including six years behind the bar, and has called Houston home for more than a decade. He also speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish.<\/p>\n
The two recipes Diniz shared pair well with Bar Moon\u2019s musical programs so that you can sip along with Jazz Night or the weekend DJ sets. Watch Joao make the two cocktails: Lunar Rush and Light Side in the video. Plus, we\u2019re getting the first taste before it hits the menu on Friday, Aug. 28. Scroll for the recipes.<\/p>\n
