We just got a little schooling from the world's hottest bartenders and our heads are spinning (and not just from the booze). It's clear these mixologists know how to shake and rattle, and at times it was hard to keep up! But nevertheless, we couldn't wait for them to reveal their secrets -- so we could then share them with you. We chatted with six amazing hotel bartenders to get the dish on which cocktails they like to whip up the most. So next time you saddle up to one of these hotel bars, be sure to ask for the bartender's favorite. You'll even be able to tell them how to make it!
