This cocktail is collaboration between Bruno Jamais, of Bruno Jamais Restaurant and Club in New York, and Mixologist Agenor Macaluso. Bruno wanted a signature cocktail using his favorite liquor, Patron Platinum Tequila. He wanted something strong, yet smooth. Bruno liked the way orange flavor in Cointreau or triple sec is often used to complement tequila and refine the taste. Agenor suggested that they use fresh orange instead.  The peach schnapps was then added, blending with the orange while adding a hint of sweetness. Initially, this drink was to be served in a rocks glass over crushed ice following the tradition of the caipirinha. In keeping with New York style, though, they decided serve it up, thus creating the Platinum Bruno's Martini.

Agenor has been in New York working for Bruno Jamais for one year. Before that he worked seven year in Paris and then in Miami. He started as a barback at the Hotel Concord La Fayette where he was quickly promoted to bartender. He then moved to the famous Buddha Bar and later to the Latina Cafe on the Champs-Elysees, where he served as the bar manager. Before heading to the US, Agenor studied the art of "flair" bartending, an acrobatic skill that provides his patrons with a unique and attractive show to complement their beverage.
