“Take us to your leader … for drinks.”

‘Area 51’ has fascinated thousands and most likely millions of minds over the years. You’re probably wondering in what way could Bud Light beer be used in the same sentence as Area 51?  A recent publicized Facebook event called “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop Us All”. got the attention of around 3 million people who said they were “interested”. The company behind Bud Light- Anheuser-Busch, first backed away with the idea of ‘invading’ Nevada Air Force base. However, a recent Twitter feed indicated that they would like to “offer free Bud Light to any alien that makes it out  of the planned raid. Stay tuned for more information about this “raid”. In the meantime, why not learn how to bartend? You might just be able to serve one of these aliens one day! 😀 Enrol in a BartederOne Workshop here and learn the art of creating a classic cocktail!

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!

Coffee Capsules for Bartenders?!

Maxwell Calonna-Dashwood founder of Colonna coffee and “three time UK Barista Champion” teamed up with world renowned mixologist and author Tristan Stephenson to create “the Bartender Series, a range of espresso capsules designed specifically for use in cocktails.”.  A recent article describes the three flavour profile capsules available which include: Earth, Sweet and Fruit. Each capsule is created with a specific spirit pairing in mind. For instance, the Earth is “herbal and sweet with mild spice” residing well with tequila, mezcal and agave based cocktails. Calonna-Dashwood and Stephenson’s belief is that “this approach to implementing coffee in a cocktail bar environment has the potential to revolutionise the manufacture of drinks like the espresso martini as well as myriad other coffee based drinks.”
