What is the Cocktail of Summer 2019!!?

Summer certainly isn’t over in any regard…however it’s never to early to crown the most creative and delicious cocktail of the season! A recent article by Caroline Pardilla reveals the cocktail of the summer to be the “Cabana Club” cocktail. As explained in the article, this drink was invented by Yael Vangroff in a Hollywood hotel lounge and gaming parlour. Vangroff states “My goal is how do I make something so incredibly simple but next-level mind-blowing also?”. In words of writer Pardilla “It compels its drinker through a journey of creamy coconut, rounding it out with the nuttiness of amontillado sherry, holding attention with herbaceous absinthe and then bringing it home with cinnamon spice.

A Rum and Coke Will Never Be the Same!

Coca-Cola strengthened their relationship with bartenders yesterday as they launched a brand new line of Coca-Cola beverages starting in Western Europe called “Coca-Cola Signature Mixers”. Four different taste profiles were created with the “help of leading bartenders”, each harbouring the classic Coca-Cola flavour- however, each with a refined taste to pair with certain spirits.  No.1 is a “Smoky”- great with Bourbon and Aged Rum. No 2. Spicy- wonderful when paired with Scotch Whisky or Tequila Reposado & Anejo. No 3. Herbal Notes- excellent with Cognac and Scotch Whisky. Lastly, No 4. Woody Notes- fantastic when paired with Bourbon, straight Rye Whiskey and Spiced Rum. There is much to be explored when using these new “Dark Mixers for Dark Spirits”. Let BartenderOne be your guide for pairing these new signature mixers! Enrol in a Get Into the Spirit Workshop and learn about what a “Cube Libre” really is and how to create perfectly balanced and delicious cocktails with our classic “Coca-Cola”!

Japanese Whisky had America Scared… Here’s Why…

He states: “The ongoing joke is that Japan is swimming in whisky; it’s just that none of it is ready to drink yet.” Not only does Japanese Whisky have a fascinating story, Whisk(e)y itself is a rich subject matter.
