THREE YEARS AND THOUSANDS of miles have passed since the last time we visited the cocktail and spirit world with you. Our move to the UK, in 2007, has given us a new perspective on the bartending world and the people that inhabit it. Ever since the profession was born, mixologists and drinks writers have travelled the globe in search of new experiences, different ingredients, and inspiring combinations. Weve looked at the industry in America. Now its time to look at the world beyond the United States to see how cocktails developed in Europe. In this volume, the third, of Mixologist: The Journal of the European Cocktail, our intrepid travelling cocktailians take us on a tour of the path of the bartender as seen through the eyes of drinks guru Gary Regan. Sue Leckie details why the legendary master Peter Dorelli is such an inspired spirit. Albert Montserrat pays tribute to is mentor and her father, Maria Dolores and Miguel Boadas. A charmer in his own right, Phil Duff discloses the essential secrets of cultivating bartender-right charm. Brief histories of two highly-regarded guilds, the UKBG and the IBA, are presented by Lynn Byron and Domenico Constanzo, respectively. Master Salvatore Calabrese sets the record straight about the crystal-clear, potent Dukes Martini. Sue Leckie returns to prove that not all of Britains best bars and bartenders reside in London. A century of German bar culture is eloquently presented by Stefan Gabny. And as a finale, a century of Spanish cocktails is presented with all the passion and ecstasy of a true aficionado by Alberto Gomez Font. Naturally, we had to put in our two pence. This time, we uncover a few surprises in the origins and bloodline of the worlds favourite morning pick-me-up, the Bloody Mary. We take you through the halls and the history of Exposition Universelle des Vins et Spiritueux, a place that is very near and dear to our hearts. Hope you enjoy your grand tour of Europe and its cocktails.

Cocktails of the South Pacific and Beyond - Advanced Mixology (Paperback): Greg Easter Cocktails of the South Pacific and Beyond - Advanced Mixology (Paperback)
Greg Easter
R658 Discovery Miles 6 580 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book belongs on the shelf of every single serious cocktail enthusiast. The author reveals long forgotten methods of producing cocktails from over a century of his family's business in the liquor trade (before, during and after Prohibition) and extensive experiences traveling around the world spanning from Polynesia to Eastern Europe. Nearly a hundred recipes that have never before been published, including secrets from some of the most expensive and exclusive bars in the world (past and present) personally collected over decades - yet this is not simply a recipe book. What makes this most worthwhile is the detailed and thoughtful explanation behind several original methods of producing extraordinary flavors. The section on complexing agents alone is worth the price of this book. As a bonus, there is an appendix with dozens of authentic 1928 recipes for the manufacture of interesting and obsolete cordials and spirits.

The Absinthe Encyclopedia (Paperback): David Nathan-Maister The Absinthe Encyclopedia (Paperback)
David Nathan-Maister
R4,019 Discovery Miles 40 190 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Written by David Nathan-Maister, the book surveys the history of absinthe from earliest days right up to the present, with a particular focus on its glittering heyday in Belle Epoque France. Hundreds of full colour illustrations document every aspect of the drink - its distillation and production, the grande marques that distributed it, the bars and cafes that served it, the patrons - men and women, rich and poor, soldiers and politicians, poets, artists, lovers and boulevardiers - who drank it. Special sections describe the various drinking rituals in exhaustive detail, others deal with absinthes popularity and spread in the USA, its alleged "secondary effects" and the disputed syndrome of absinthism, the hard fought and ultimately successful campaign to ban it in France, Switzerland and elsewhere, and 80 years later, its modern renaissance at the dawn of the 21st century.

R787 Discovery Miles 7 870 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

PREFACE. Im following work has been undertaken, not so much in the hope of adding anything new to what h already known of the culture of the vine, as with a view to colIect the scattered information which exists on the subject in periodicals and kindred works as well as amongst practical men, and to throw it into such a shape as may prove useful to the amateur and the vinedresser. This being our object, we have endeavored to modify and adapt the practice and principles of others to our own climate and wants, and to simplify and explain the processes of the profeessional gardener so that he who reads may practice. To this end we have in general avoided theoretical discussions, and have depended chiefly upon the practice of ourselves and others for the directions here laid down. For although we know that well established principles are the only sure foundation of all right practice, this is not the place for discussing the theoretical grounds upon which these principles rest. A practical work should deal with facts and be a guide to action. As the garden culture of the vine, at least in the northern States, differs from that in the vineyard only in the more thorough preparation of the ground and the larger size of the plants, we have not formally divided the o r iknt o sections corresponding to these two classes, as the principles which govern both are precisely alike. Where, however, some peculiar details of management apply to either we have inserted them in the section to which t. hey properly belong-as under the subject of VINE BORDERS and CARE OF OLD VINES. A full account of the Ohio vineyards is given in the Appendix, amongst other examples of American practice, and the peculiarprinciples which regulate the management of grapes devoted to the production of wine will be found in their appropriate place, riz., in the second part of this work, which is specially devoted to that subject. The varieties of the vine have multiplied so rapidly of late, thnt it would be impossible to give a coinplete list even of those which have been brought out. Seeing then that at best our work must be incomplete in this respect, we have described those only which have been thoroughly proved and rmom mended by some well known society or cultivator. Of the two or three hundred varieties of American grapes of which names are to be found, probably not more than one in ten ham . been tested in 1ocalit iw diEering greatly from the place of their origin. In the execution of our work, we believe that where we have had occasion to make use of the labors of others, due credit has always been given and we have also added a list of tliose books which we have most freely consulted, so that those who desire to make the culture of the grape . a specialty may be directed to original wurce. s of information. That the culture of the grape will ere long attain a position of which its present condition atiords little idea, we have no doubt...
