OBSESSIVE ADDICTIONS

“There are only six cocktails.”
This bold statement comes from the three visionaries behind the seminal craft cocktail bar Death & Co. in New York City.

And, it all makes sense. Once you understand the general concepts of the classic six cocktails, everything else will fall into place.

Voila!

ADDICTIVE OBSESSIONS

Cocktails are wonderful. They are conversation starters, conversation topics, sometimes the conversation end – and in very rare situations the beginning of something fabulously new.

I can remember pivotal moments in my life by the cocktail I had.

Now, THAT’s huge!
Cheers!

WHY IS THE RUM ALWAYS GONE?!

Rum takes you on a tour-de-force through the history of the New World!

From the taverns of the first American Colonies, to the Pirates of the Caribbean, to Hemingway’s watering-holes in Havana, to the tacky Tiki Bars of the 1950’s in America – rum is your constant in an ever-changing movie script.

It started as a sailor wash-down, turned into an inspiring mixer and has finally evolved to a noble sipper.

Hold tight, the story has just begun…

HIPSTER ON THE BLOCK

The British actor Noel Coward once said… The perfect Martini should be made by filling a glass with gin and waving it towards Italy. I wholeheartedly agree.

It takes very little to make a great cocktail when you have a fabulous gin. Botanical, tart and bitter, like life itself. – What a treat.

We are living in exiting times. Gin has matured and has become a collectable item, a sipper that is worth writing books about and a hipster spirit. Let’s embrace it!

HOME-GROWN FUSION

There is nothing quite like a Whisky Sour on a cold day. But then there’s nothing like the famed Sazerac when you are hitting Bourbon Street on a hot summer night. Or a Mint Julep at the Kentucky Derby. Or an Old Fashioned. Or a Rob Roy. Or a Godfather. Or a Manhattan.
No other spirit in the world inspires us to new creations as the “water of life” our most favorite spirit of them all: Whisky.
