Like the dining menu, which changes
daily according to available fresh ingredients, the cocktail menu changes, too.
For example, if the kitchen gets elements
like blood oranges, the chef, pastry chef
and the bar may all use that on their
menus. "There are only five cocktails on
the menu," Fradeneck says. "Others are
always rotating based on seasonal items."
Two mainstays on the cocktail menu
are the house version of a Manhattan and
the Hazel Park and Parcel. "Those two
are probably our best sellers," says Fradeneck. "People come here specifically
seeking them out."
Paul Fradeneck has been in the
restaurant industry for nearly 25 years,
starting when he was only 14. He has
peeled potatoes, bussed tables and waited tables, working his way up to the bar.
He readily admits that in the early days
of bartending, he only thought he knew
what he was doing. The burgeoning craft
cocktail movement sparked his creativity and illuminated his realization of how
much he had yet to learn.

So he began learning-from books, from
online resources, and from the people who
were a step ahead of him, especially at local
bars like Sugar House and The Oakland. "I

Now, Fradeneck applies that knowledge
and creativity at Mabel Gray. He enjoys the
routine of bartending; making the same
drinks while also improving his technique;
being creative in melding flavors and techniques; and being of service to the customers at his bar.
"I enjoy the challenge of working at Mabel Gray. James is very demanding; the environment is demanding; the ever-changing
menu-I appreciate that. I like the intimacy
of what we do here ... We get to interact on a
more personal, close, intimate level ... It's a
fun environment."

The Boys of Summer
"When I was a kid my dad used to take me to 'The
Old Ballpark' (Tiger Stadium)" Fradeneck recalls,
"and we would have to park far and walk. I always
