POV, the famed rooftop of the W Washington DC hotel, which for the past hundred years has stood watch over the White House and the National Mall, is officially back after the hotel’s floor to rooftop $50 million renovation. Consistently named one of the top rooftop bars in the country, POV returns with a completely new look and new menu, while still offering the best views of the city - hands down. Upon first opening in 2009, the rooftop swiftly became the ultimate destination for notable names passing through the city. It was where Leonardo DiCaprio had tea with Martin Scorsese, where John Legend got on the piano and serenaded Chrissy Teigen, where Jaime Foxx grabbed the mic and had everyone on their feet. Now, the entire outstide will be floor-to-ceiling retractable glass, making it a year-round attraction. Cocktail legend Sasha Petraske helped usher in a new era for DC nightlife when the rooftop first opened. Today, POV’s cocktail program is being led by Amsterdam-based Cocktail Professor, known for their innovative and insanely delicious creations, offering some of the best craft cocktails to accompany the unmatched view. From local barrel aged beers to personal bartenders for VIP bottle service, POV’s service and amenities are unlike any other in the city. Just prior to renovation, POV was the highest revenue generating bar in Marriott’s North America Portfolio. If you’re in the area, stop in! 8

As the first and oldest established champagne house founded in 1729, Ruinart is the symbol of a “savoirfaire” and an “art de vivre” famed all over the world. Each of its cuvées bears the distinctive signature of Chardonnay, the House’s emblematic grape variety. Elegance, refinement, purity, light and distinctive taste make Ruinart a true timeless and modern icon. Its wines derive their strength from three centuries of history. The Chalk Cellars of Ruinart, Les Crayeres, are an official UNESCO World Heritage Site. The balance between its roots and the audacity of its commitments is the key to its success, making it a Maison that is forever contemporary. Chardonnay is the very soul of Ruinart. The grape is mainly harvested from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims terroirs, whose soils contain a high chalk content, offering ideal conditions for the vines to flourish. Chardonnay’s aromatic freshness makes it the golden thread that runs through the Ruinart Taste. This emblematic grape variety’s freshness is the essence of every Ruinart cuvée. With its subtle refinement, Chardonnay is a grape variety that forms part of all Ruinart cuvées. This process has led to only twenty-three vintages being produced since the first Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs vintage appeared in 1959. Official Champagne for all Frieze art fairs including Frieze NYC, Maison Ruinart laid the first stone of the history of Champagne on September the 1st, 1729 as the first established Champagne house. Since then, it has never ceased to perfect the excellence of its wines. Its oenological choice, determined by the pre-dominance of Chardonnay in its cuvées, is the signature of its authentic and recognized expertise. Maison Ruinart expresses its commitment to art by commissioning well-known artists, which it has done since 1896 when Alphonse Mucha was invited to create an artwork that would make an immense impact at the time. In 2019, the internationally renowned Brazilian artist Vik Muniz received carte blanche to pay tribute to the terroir and the savoir-faire that Maison Ruinart is rooted in. Vik Muniz created a series of works inspired by the idea of artisans and vines facing climate adversity. His photographs represent vine stock with pieces of blackened wood and charcoal. He also brought new life to a leaf from the chardonnay vine - an emblematic grape in the Ruinart taste - based on organic elements from the historical vineyard of the Maison. Through all his creations for the Maison, the artist captured the deep relationships between humans and nature, craftsmen and vines, Ruinart and its terroir, highlighting the creative tension and excellence born from facing the adversity. 10

Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
14
Launched in San Diego in July 2018 by husband and wife duo, Steven Yeng and Brittany Merrill Yeng, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey gained quick notoriety with locals. After the couple experimented making unmistakable peanut butter whiskey cocktails for family and friends, it was a hit and only made sense to brand and bottle the idea. The Yengs began experimenting to come up with the perfect peanut butter flavor, using only vegan-friendly premium ingredients. The first-of-itskind peanut butter flavored whiskey actually tastes like peanut butter and can be enjoyed standalone or as part of a premium cocktail, several of which can be found on the company’s website. Since entering the market, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey has been presented with several awards, including a Double Gold Medal for Best Flavored Whiskey in the 2018 New York World Wine & Spirits Competition. With interest growing, the Yengs made the decision to work with a trusted partner and renowned leader in the spirits industry, Infinium Spirits, to maintain a high level of quality and reach their consumer demands. “Partnering with Infinium Spirits was a natural fit, as they are also a family-owned business and understand the hurdles you have to overcome to survive in this industry,” said Brittany Merrill Yeng, co-founder of Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey. “We were immediately impressed with the legacy they’ve built and seeing their passion for Skrewball was exciting and humbling at the same time.”

“We are absolutely honored to have Steve and Brittany put their trust in Infinium Spirits to build this new, but already highly acclaimed, brand across the country,” said Dan Walker, President of Infinium Spirits. “I am so impressed with what Skrewball has already accomplished; not only is the liquid incredible and highly versatile, but the brand itself is drawing attention from an extremely wide audience of consumers.” “We’re thrilled to be joining the Infinium Spirits team and are confident they are going to aid in the overall success of Skrewball throughout the nation,” added Steven Yeng, co-founder of Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey.

BARTENDER® Magazine is proud to present Doug Schulman as our feature Bartender
DOUG SCHULMAN aii
, Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, Haw
hi Lounge Head Bartender, Ulu Ocean Grill & Sus
As the Great Mark Twain so eloquently said, “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” That couldn’t be more true for Doug. He’s been in the service industry for 42 years, and bartending for about a quarter of a century. Every day is like a fresh start on his career. Whether it be teaching Mixology classes to guests of the Resort, welcoming back friends, or learning modern and exciting aspects of the industry, he is always excited to see what wonderful new experiences can be created from a new day! Doug received his B.A. degree in Psychology from UCLA, and who would have thought at that time his studies would be so beneficial in his profession. Doug moved to Hawaii when he was 26 years old from Southern California, and has never looked back. He joined Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at its inception as a banquet bartender, where he was able to hone his speed and technique. He then opened the Lava Lounge Martini and Piano Bar, but it was when he was given the honor to debut the hotel’s flagship outlet ‘Ulu Ocean Grill + Sushi Lounge, that he was able to truly use his talents as both a host and mixologist. Making flavorful, balanced, and unique beverages will always be his passion, but almost as important are the relationships he has with his guests. Remembering their names and the cocktails they enjoy, sharing their lives with his, seeing their faces light up as they sit down to take in the breathtaking beauty of his bar are but a few of the reasons Doug is the luckiest bartender in the world. This aspect, welcoming people to his “office” is what truly makes a great experience for his guests. “I have crafted drinks for three generations of one family, and nothing brightens my day more than to receive a text from a guest checking to see 16

if I’m working tonight! (Although most of them know my schedule by heart)” The ever expanding beverage industry is what makes each day fresh. New spirits are constantly being introduced, challenging him to create flavor profiles that had never been imagined. “I feel as though I have two families, my beautiful wife and two children, and the many friends I’ve made over the years, who I truly consider my family. This is the reason that when I come to my job, I don’t feel as though I’m working a day of my life.”
PANIOLO PAU HANA DOUG’S SIGNATURE COCKTAIL
Patron Barrel Select Reposado (single barrel, exclusively Four Seasons Resort Hualalai) House-made lime sour fresh muddled cucumber and jalapeno mango puree garnished with local lime and hawaiian chili pepper Cocktail Notes: This cocktail pays homage to the original paniolo (hawaiian cowboys) that still exist where I live in Waimea. Pau Hana (after work) is a term many locals use to grab a drink after a long hard day and this cocktail embodies that spirit! Using local ingredients and our very own single-barrel aged Patron Tequila makes this cocktail only available at ‘Ulu Ocean Grill & Sushi Lounge’ here on the island of Hawaii.

Data Breaches: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Bar and Your Customers by Brad Korkow Data Breaches: The Case for Securing Sensitive Information
When it comes to data breaches, it would seem like the bigger the business, the bigger the bullseye for a potential threat. Shockingly, the opposite is true. Skimming and exposing credit card information from the small corner bar may not be as lucrative as hacking a big box retailer, but small businesses, like bars and taverns, are an opportunity for thieves to dip their toes in the water of cyber breaching. By “starting small,” thieves test and perfect their methods before diving in to bigger opportunities. In fact, 90 percent of data breaches affect small businesses , putting almost every business at risk. That being said, it’s more important than ever to protect your bar’s—and your customers’—valuable data to ensure it doesn’t end up in the wrong hands. A data breach can be especially devastating for small businesses, causing financial strain and irreparable harm. Fortunately, breaches can be mitigated. Below are common myths surrounding data breaches and tips to minimize the risk.
Data Breach Myths and Security Tips Myth: It won’t happen to my bar.
Fact: A data breach is a true threat to everyone. Most people associate a breach as the result of a hacked network or malware disruption. However, simple theft, such as stealing a laptop, zip drive or traditional file folder, are legitimate ways that information can be stolen and exposed. Consider these simple actions to keep data safe: •Maintain payment card industry (PCI) compliance •Shred all customer documents (e.g., receipts) that are not necessary to store •Monitor internal systems on a regular basis for suspicious activity •Update computer systems to eliminate known vulnerabilities •Educate employees on data risk and exposure
Myth: If a breach happens, the bank will handle it.
Fact: In most cases, a business is responsible for paying damages associated with a data breach. Payment processors often have contracts with businesses that give them the right to recoup certain costs for a breach. For example, one major credit card merchant typically charges $2.50 per card that is exposed in a breach. That seems minimal at first, but if 5,000 cards were exposed, that costs a business $12,500 in bank fees alone. Other associated costs can include internal investigations, regulatory noncompliance, crisis management and class action lawsuits, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars in fines and expenses. When that much money is on the line, it doesn’t pay to take a half-hearted approach to data security. Investing in cyber liability insurance is a must.
Myth: A strong password is enough to keep data safe.
Fact: You know that going beyond a basic password is smart—think uppercase and lowercase letters, special characters and nonsensical letter combinations—but bars need to double down on their approach. Two-factor authentication and data monitoring are also needed for optimal data security. Two-factor authentication requires two out of a possible three options to verify a user: something you know (e.g., password), something you have (e.g., cell phone) and something you are (e.g., fingerprint). This security feature is available for a variety of programs and better secures the data that you’re trying to access.
Myth: It’s possible to be 100 percent secure.
Fact: Unfortunately, a business is never completely safe against a data breach. The best way to mitigate the risk is through ongoing threat education (including the latest ways cyber criminals are breaching data), security awareness training and routine system maintenance. Cyber Liability Coverage: Small Details That Can Make a Big Difference To keep your bar’s reputation intact, going without cyber liability coverage is not an option. Unfortunately, many insurance policies do not adequately cover the various costs involved in a privacy breach. When evaluating policies, look for these important protections: •IT forensic costs •Regulatory fines and penalties •Printing and mailing costs to notify customers/clients, whether or not it is required by law to do so •Cyber extortion expenses and monies paid for a cyber extortion threat •Legal liability—victims will seek to recover their costs, perhaps as part of a class action suit •Electronic and non-electronic acts or accidents that result in the exposure of sensitive information Ongoing diligence and preparation are priceless, but as more information is stored and shared online, there is greater risk of data theft. Society Insurance offers one of the most comprehensive cyber liability programs available, covering both first-party losses and third-party liability claims if the unthinkable happens. When it comes to the safety of your business, there’s no time like the present to assess and upgrade your current data security measures and activate a policy with breach recovery services. Small changes will make a big difference—for both your bar and your customers.

BATCH COCKTAILS
Make-Ahead Pitcher Drinks for Every Occasion
By Maggie Hoffman Amazon.com $19.99 hardcover
For guests, the cocktail hour is the highlight of any dinner party, but hosts can find it stressful to keep the drinks flowing. The solution is simple: batch it! In Batch Cocktails: Make-Ahead Pitcher Drinks for Every Occasion, Maggie Hoffman offers 65 delicious, modern pitcher cocktails that don’t require a shaker or any last-minute prep. Some even keep well in your fridge for weeks! Whether you’re hosting an engagement party or July 4th barbecue, a casual dinner with friends or a New Year’s Eve extravaganza, these pitchers are a breeze to whip up, no matter what enticing recipes you choose – perhaps the Perfect Circle (fino sherry, campari, sparkling wine), the Agony and Ecstasy (mescal, elderflower liqueur, grapefruit, ginger beer), or the Birds and the Bees Punch (rum, cucumber, green tea, lemon). Non-alcoholic options, like the Turmeric Pineapple with lemon and honey, ensure that all of your guests will drink themselves happy. Organized by flavor profile – herbal, boozy, bitter, spicy, fruity and tart, and so on, Batch Cocktails makes it easy to find your new signature drink and have it ready long before the doorbell rings. Imagine that: with Batch Cocktails as your guide, you’ll enjoy cocktail hour as much as your guests.
CHEESE, BEER, WINE, CIDER A Field Guide to 75 Perfect Pairings
By Steve Jones and Adam Lindsley CountrymanPress.com $24.95 Cheese and wine are a classice combination, but many cheeses taste even better with beer or cider. Steve Jones, proprietor of the Portland - based cheese Bar and Chizu (cheese served sushi-style), has been successfully matching cheeses with alcoholic beverages for more than two decades. Here he shares his knowledge by introducing 75 different cheeses and pairing each with the beverage that brings out the best in both. Jones provides a treasure trove of delectable, often surprising pairings, as well as simple steps for successful experimentation. This guide will function as a crash course for beginners on buying, storing, and serving cheese and alcohol, while offering more seasoned aficionados page after page of cheese-and-beverage combinations to replicate at home. With gorgeous photographs, this book captures the allure, approachability, and, most importantly, the sheer joy of pairing cheese with beer, wine, or cider.

Feature Beer
Mighty hop character and just 95 calories … that can’t be possible. Oh, but it is! After a year of R&D and months of fine-tuning what seemed to be unimaginable, Slightly Mighty is here! This true indie craft beer has all the character of a world class IPA, but with only 95 calories, 3.6g carbs, 1g protein and 0g fat per 12 oz. serving. But how? Digging deep into their culinary roots, they found the answer in an ancient Chinese delicacy – monk fruit. Sweeter than sugar per ounce, monk fruit amplifies the body and complexity of the beer, yet contains no calories. Whereas most IPAs start with a formidable malt bill to balance hoppy bitterness with malty sweetness, Slightly Mighty goes about it a different way – all through the magic of monk fruit. Most light beers are watery and lack body, but with Slightly Mighty, the monk fruit essentially acts as the beer’s skeleton, on which mighty hop muscle and flavor can be built. It allows them to reduce the malt bill and avoid any unnecessary unfermentable sugars, and consequently deliver a beer that is lower in calories and carbs, and perfectly balanced. The result is a hazy gold lo-cal IPA that throws tropical notes of pineapple, coconut, mango and citrus, all while delivering an aromatic hoppiness that makes it oh-so drinkable. Brewed with ‘lo-cal’ly grown malted barley, Slightly Mighty is dynamic and crisp with a refreshing hop profile.
