SUMMER 2020

Letter from the Publisher We Stand Together For more than 40 years, BARTENDER® Magazine has proudly served YOU, our friends and colleagues in the bartender and hospitality industry. And now, more than any time in our four decades of providing informative and up-to-date news, recipes, trends, and humor, we remain fiercely committed and steadfast in our mission to support the work you do.

Early in this coronavirus pandemic, the outpouring of help and relief, from every corner of our industry, has been truly inspiring.

We’ve seen multi-million dollar donations from bighearted brands large and small, and we’ve witnessed incredible compassion and generosity among so many people impacted by this unprecedented disaster – the bartender community truly comes together in times of need.

For our part, at the offset of this crisis, we were honored to join with several other caring companies, brands and associations to donate funds to benefit the organizations listed below that are providing immediate financial aid to those in our community. If you haven’t already, please consider contacting these or other groups to inquire if you might be eligible for assistance:

•USBG Bartender Emergency Assistance Fund •James Beard Foundation Relief Fund •World’s Biggest Tip Jar •The Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation Emergency Relief Fund •Clover Club & Leyenda Staff Relief Fund

(Our donation was funded from the Bartenders’ Foundation, a non-profit we created in 1999 to help pay for educational expenses for bartenders and their families. As the organization’s goal has always been to “Take Care of our Own,” we made the decision to shift a portion of those funds – and all new donations we raised – to help support the immediate needs of our community.)

And while we’re hopeful that coronavirus will be under control soon, a much longer crisis has gripped our communities for far too many decades. We stand together in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S., and around the world, in condemnation of violence and discrimination. The bartender and hospitality industry thrives because of its diversity and inclusion, and at BARTENDER Magazine we commit to continuing to do our part every day to help support, promote, and champion the contributions of our friends in the Black community, and all people who have suffered at the hands of racism and discrimination.

Please join with us in considering a donation to organizations such as these that are at the forefront of combating and eliminating racial injustice: •NAACP

•American Civil Liberties Union

•Southern Poverty Law Center

•Black Visions Collective Over the past several months, we’ve all endured so many personal, financial and professional challenges but this is a resilient and solid industry, and we’re confident that together we’ll come out of this a stronger and more prosperous united community.

Benefits of Batching Cocktails Though the Covid-19 crisis has created enormous challenges for bars and restaurants, fortunately many states and local communities have passed ordinances to allow to-go cocktails (as of early July, takeout cocktails are permitted in 30 states, plus DC, and cocktail delivery from bars and restaurants is permitted in 19 states and DC.)

With thanks to Eric Ribeiro, a beverage consultant and the lead mixologist at Diageo in NY, below are some tips and ideas for batching cocktails to help maximize opportunities for to-go drinks.

Batching benefits

More time to engage with guests More time to focus on garnishes/final presentation Increase speed of service Eric Ribeiro - Beverage Consultant & Lead Mixologist - Diageo, NY Makes consistent drinks Drinks are served ice cold (if dilution is added to the batch and the batch is kept in the fridge) Sustainable (only if adding a specific volume of water to the batch, and not needing ice and bar tools. Zero waste when preventing the need to rinse bar tools and discarding ice)

Pro tips when batching

No egg or egg whites: Alcohol or citrus will cause the eggs to glomerate No carbonation: Add carbonation at the last minute. Carbonation will be lost if it stays for a longtime No bitters or pungent liqueurs: Add bitters and liqueurs at the last minute. These tend to intensify over time when added to a batch No mixers i.e. lemon juice, grapefruit juice, lime juice etc. (except if you are serving the batch on the same day or immediately) Modify the recipe to a ratio that is easy to multiply by the number of guests (2 – 1 – 1/2 parts or cups instead of .75 oz., 25 oz. teaspoons etc.)

Garnishes: Prepare nice garnish trays ready to serve Give a good stir to the batch before serving: Sugar is heavier than spirits and juices, and will sink to the bottom of the batch With or Without Dilution: Adding water to a batch’s total volume - - For spirit forward/stirred cocktails only. Typically, I use 30% water dilution. If you decide to add the water, you need to keep the batch inside of the refrigerator for at least 12 to 24 hours depending on the volume. Make sure to serve the cocktail into a chilled glass. If you choose to not add water, you will need to stir the cocktail in order to get the cocktail cold and diluted. Shaken cocktails will still need to be shaken for aeration, and also adds texture to the cocktail. For home consumers or punch you can add 30% water, give a good stir and add the mixture to a punch bowl filled with ice.

To have a precise dilution for pre-batched cocktails you can calculate by weighing the drink before and after dilution.

By Cole Benoit

As

Plants and botanicals might not be the first ingredients that many people think of when it comes to cocktails, but nearly everything used in them comes from a plant, in one way or another.

Spirits are all distilled from some form fermented plant material, whether it’s barley, agave or grapes. Most sweeteners come from sugar cane or sugar beets and the juices we use all come from the fruit of a plant, not to mention nearly all the liqueurs are based off some sort of botanical or fruit. Then we have vermouth, amaro and bitters, all of which were originally created for medicinal purposes based off the various botanicals used in them.

Whether or not they pay attention to it, most people are probably aware they are using a form of plant in common cocktail ingredients such as citrus juice, vermouth or orange curacao, but they might not think of some of the more interesting ways to utilize plants in cocktails. Fruit and vegetable juices aside, the main components botanicals can generally provide are bitterness, aroma and flavor.

In regards to bitterness, many of the old world plants used in products like amaro, vermouth and bitters, derive their bitterness from ingredients that were originally added for medicinal reasons. Cinchona, found in tonic, contains quinine, which was originally used as a cure for malaria. Vermouth likely even gets its name from the German word for wormwood, wermut, which is a key ingredient in vermouth. Nowadays, we use these products to provide bitterness to balance the other ingredients in a cocktail, especially sweet ingredients, but we can also use fresh or dried botanicals to add bitterness to a cocktail.

Making a syrup with hops, barberry root or woodruff, muddling bitter greens, lime leaf or wormwood into a cocktail, or infusing a spirit with green walnuts, cherry bark or rhubarb are all ways that you could add bitterness to a cocktail.

The aroma of a cocktail can really elevate the entire drinking experience and using botanicals here is a simple and excellent 14

BARTENDER® MAGAZINE

bartender.com

way to do something interesting with your cocktails. Expressing a citrus peel over a drink or using fresh herbs such as mint are the most common examples of this, but you can really experiment with botanicals here. Try using aromatic parts of the plant such as fresh cherry blossoms, eucalyptus leaves, spruce tips or lemon verbena. Another wonderful way of utilizing botanicals for aroma is to soak them in high proof alcohol to make a tincture, which can then be placed in an atomizer. Some examples that make excellent aromatic mists are bee forest mosses, charred cedar wood, bay leaves, lavender or peppercorns.

Flavor is the most obvious element that we can use botanicals for but it can also be the trickiest, especially when playing with more unfamiliar ingredients. Many of the stronger flavored ingredients work better as an accent, rather than the dominant flavor, but feel free to experiment. The simplest way to extract flavor from botanicals is to steep them in hot water and then add sugar to make a flavored syrup. A few suggested botanicals that taste wonderful are kola nut, coriander, banana blossom, calendula, birch bark, shiso or even seaweed. You can also infuse spirits or vermouth with anything that you enjoy the taste but make sure to taste the infusion regularly to avoid over extraction.

Ultimately, don’t be afraid to think outside the box and experiment with different botanicals, as long as they are safe to consume. Explore local markets, apothecary shops or botanical gardens and let your intuition guide you into the wonderful world of botanicals.

Cole Benoit is the founder and head bitters maker at The Apothecary Bitters Company, where they specialize in small batch bitters made from all natural botanicals.

Constantly experimenting and creating, he’s also active in cocktail and spirit consulting, designing cocktail programs and products such as amaro, absinthe and liqueurs. His knowledge in these fields has led him into teaching others about these products, through articles, seminars and events.

Miami Cocktail Company Premiumizes RTD Category

By Greg Cohen For the third consecutive year, in 2019 ready-to-drink products were the fastest-growing beverage alcohol category in the world, up almost 20% in volume according to IWSR Drinks Market Analysis, one of the top data and intelligence firms in the industry. In the U.S., RTDs posted a whopping 43% increase in volume, spurred no doubt by consumers’ increasing appetite for convenience and better-for-you drink options.

But it’s not only hard seltzers that have catapulted this category – pre-mix cocktails have also seen growing interest, especially among high-end brands that offer a premium and innovative product.

“Instead of making something that tastes like a mojito, why not just make a mojito,” says Ross Graham, CEO and founder of Miami Cocktail Company, one of the top players to emerge in the ultra-premium RTD category. “People want something real and authentic, with no additives or preservatives.”

Graham, who has spent his career in the hospitality industry, including behind the bar, launched his line of Miami Cocktail Company products in 2016 at Whole Foods stores (in Florida, as the name implies) and has since expanded distribution (so far) to more than a dozen U.S. states and the UK. Built on the premise that consumers aren’t just interested in sugary sweet canned concoctions, the company offers a line of small batch true-toform original 750ml bottled cocktails and single serve “spritz” craft drinks – all lower in calories, all-natural and certified organic – that put taste and quality first.

“Historically, people have looked at bottled cocktails and RTDs as ‘entry level’ but our goal was to turn that around, to create interesting and high-quality drinks that don’t sacrifice on taste,” Graham explains. “We aren’t a hard seltzer company, we’re a cocktail company.”

SUMMER 2020

Because they’re convenient, practical, and accessibly-priced, Miami Cocktail Company products aren’t only designed for at-home consumption, they’ve also become a proven solution for hotel minibars, on-premise outlets that cater to pool/beach customers, and country club/golf venues that are looking for consistent and properly made handcrafted cocktails to serve those high-volume individual needs. Also, as Graham points out, for accounts that are only licensed for beer and wine, Miami Cocktail Company’s wined-based offerings afford them the crucial ability to offer a legitimate full-blown cocktail program.

The company’s “Small Batch Originals” line includes a Blood Orange Mimosa made with blood orange, tangerine and local grapefruit juices; the Sunset Margarita, crafted with pineapple, mango, orange, and lime juice; and an innovative Copper Pot Margarita that combines organic blue agave wine, lime juice, and Valencia orange juice. Their lineup of “spritz” canned cocktails feature a Margarita, Mimosa, Sangria, Bellini, and Paloma all of which are 4.2% alcohol by volume and 110 calories, with no added sugar per 250ml can. The company has several other products in development as well.

Graham reports that year-to-date sales have already doubled those of last year.

The secret to their success is really no secret at all. “More than ever, people want to enjoy a great tasting cocktail, made with pure ingredients, and that’s exactly what we deliver,” Graham says.

From Gin to Whiskey, Champagne Pairs Beautifully in Cocktails

By Justin Murray

What is it about champagne that everyone loves so much? The bubbles, sure, but also people are just happy when they’re drinking it (spoiler alert, champagne isn’t only for special occasions!)

Now that summer is here, it’s the perfect time to enjoy champagne cocktails. A high-quality champagne pairs beautifully with a wide variety of spirits – there’s the venerable French 75 (gin), the Seelbach (whiskey), the Air Mail (rum), the Sbagliato (Campari), and of course the Kir Royale (Chambord). The most important consideration when crafting a champagne cocktail is to choose a zero-dosage champagne, which means no sugar has been added. For example, Beau Joie is a crisp and clean Brut Champagne that achieves a perfect level of sweetness naturally derived from the grapes. (Also, Beau Joie bottles are fully encased in a copper suit of armor, which is not only eye-catching when pouring it, but could prove to be of real benefit too as recent reports say that copper neutralizes viruses more quickly.)

But why stick to only the classic champagne cocktails? Here are three easy-to-prepare unique recipes combining spirits and the king of sparkling wine:

BEAU JOIE APPLE BUBBLY 4 oz. BEAU JOIE Champagne 1 oz. apple brandy 1 oz. fresh apple cider Garnish with a thin slice of apple.

BOURBON & BEAU 3 oz. BEAU JOIE Champagne 1 oz. bourbon .75 oz. lemon juice .5 oz. pomegranate puree .25 oz. simple syrup Garnish with a lemon twist Combine all ingredients except BEAU JOIE in a shaker with ice. Shake to combine and chill. Strain into a flute and top with BEAU JOIE. Garnish with lemon twist.

BEAU ROYALE 3 oz. BEAU JOIE Champagne 1 oz. gin .5 oz. simple syrup .5 oz. lemon juice 2 barspoons of cranberry preserves 1 dash of angostura bitters Garnish with sprig of rosemary Combine all ingredients except champagne in a shaker with ice. Shake to combine and chill. Strain into a coupe and top with champagne. Garnish with rosemary.

After graduating, Mendenhall took a job in sales and marketing for a moving company in Denver, CO, while also bartending a few nights a week at Pappadeaux in Denver.

Quickly realizing that the corporate world was not for him, Mendenhall decided that bartending was what he wanted to do full time. After taking up the advice of a close family friend, he moved to Washington, D.C. in 2009 to pursue his bartending career. His career in D.C. began as a part-time bartender at Westend Bistro and The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C.’s Lobby Lounge.

Soon thereafter, Mendenhall began bartending full time at Westend Bistro, which is where he really started honing his craft. With the aid of Westend Bistro’s esteemed culinary and beverage team, he began developing his culinarian approach to crafting cocktails and soon took helm over the esteemed restaurant’s cocktail menu.

Over five years later, the opportunity to be a part of Quadrant presented itself, and Mendenhall immediately knew that he wanted to be a part of it. As lead mixologist, Mendenhall not only introduces a cutting-edge cocktail menu, but also an unrivaled experience that encourages guests to learn and enjoy cocktails in a stylish and refined setting.

SMOKED OLD FASHION CHRISTOPHER’S SIGNATURE COCKTAIL

2.5 oz. Knob Creek Single Barrel 1 oz. of our smoked old fashioned syrup. The house made syrup features smoked oranges that we juice, brandies, cherries and sugar.

2 dashes cherry bitters.

Cocktail Notes: What’s unique about this cocktail is the cooking techniques used to achieve a syrup that takes a total of 5 hours to make.

The syrup is a combination of smoking the fruit for several hours, then juicing it and finally simmering all of the ingredients together to balance it out.

Giorgio Bargiani - Head Mixologist The Connaught Bar, London

During Giorgio’s time at The Connaught, the bar received these accolades: Best Bar, GQ 2015, Classiest Bar in London , Timeout 2016, International Hotel Bar 2016 , Tales of the Cocktail, World Best Cocktail Bar 2016, Tales of the Cocktails, Mixology Bar Award 2017, Best European Cocktail Bar, Imbibe UK 2016 , Best Classic Menu, Heering Legend of the List 2018, World’s 50 Best Bars - made the list for nine years on the spin, and Best Bar in Europe and #2 in the world at World’s 50 Best Bars 2019.

Giorgio’s personal recognitions: 30 Under 30 list 2019 - CODE Hospitality, and #2 Best Italian Bartender Abroad at Bargiornale Awards 2019.

These days, you will find Giorgio mostly at the bar, entertaining his guests with his distinctive showmanship and passionate storytelling skills.

Determined to make each drinking experience highly memorable, Giorgio never misses a chance to inspire the people around him, be these bar guests, colleagues or attendees to the numerous masterclasses and events he hosts all over the world. Having built an international reputation as a talented mixologist and host, Giorgio has recently reinforced some strong collaborations with great brands such as Martini and continuously travels the world to attend the industry’s top outlets and shows.

Today he covers the prestigious role of Head Mixologist at one of the world’s best bars and with master Ago Perrone has made their signature Martini pour famous globally. However, Giorgio’s passion for hospitality roots back to a very young age, starting as a family affair in his aunt’s restaurant bar in Pisa, Italy, where he first cut his teeth.

Giorgio started working as a bartender in local nightclubs while studying for his Communications degree.

He was immediately captured by the vibe, atmosphere, creativity as well as the relationship building opportunity offered by the job - the same elements that still drive his captivating enthusiasm today.

Fascinated by the calibre of the cocktail offering and service of some of London’s top hotel bars such as The American Bar, The Connaught and The Artesian, Giorgio decided to take on a new challenge and role in a luxury hotel in order to sharpen his knowledge and skill set. It was during his time at the Splendido Hotel in Portofino that he received the life changing call from The Connaught Bar - on 8th August 2014, as he still recalls. During his only day off, Giorgio flew to London and came back with a job offer.

The following month, Giorgio started as bar back and with an incredible drive and talent he gradually worked his way up to be promoted Head Mixologist in January 2019. Right arm of mixology titan Ago Perrone, today Giorgio is a key member of The Connaught Bar team as well as an ambassador of world-class cocktail-making and hospitality. In December 2018, The Connaught and Ago designed an eponymous gin to mark the 10th anniversary of the iconic bar, and Giorgio played a key role in the development of this ultra premium, in-house crafted gin, as well as in the ideation of the 2019 cocktail list Vanguard, consolidating even further his affiliation with Ago.

Anchor Brewing Company Debuts Baykeeper IPA A Collaboration IPA Brewed for Fierce Champions of the San Francisco Bay

Anchor Brewing Company debuts Baykeeper IPA, a bright and delicious IPA made in collaboration with local nonprofit San Francisco Baykeeper, who has defended the Bay from pollution for 30 years.

San Francisco born and raised, Anchor is lucky to be surrounded by the San Francisco Bay, one of the world’s most impressive waterways and one of California’s most important ecosystems. Only Baykeeper relentlessly confronts polluters and stops harmful actions from occurring in the Bay with their expertise in law, science and advocacy. To celebrate their accomplishments and 30th anniversary, Anchor is introducing a collaboration beer that’s as fierce as Baykeeper’s commitment to preserving the Bay. Baykeeper IPA is a crisp and refreshing San Francisco-style IPA, overflowing with juicy and fruit-forward hop layers. A portion of the proceeds from this brew will directly support San Francisco Baykeeper and their efforts to stop polluters so the Bay’s water is healthy for wildlife and local communities.

The recipe for Baykeeper IPA (7% ABV) was inspired by the feeling of being out on the water: salty skin, clean air and a bountiful breeze. “There’s nothing like a crisp beer to celebrate a good swim, boat ride or kayaking session,” said Brewmaster Scott Ungermann. “The San Francisco Bay is intrinsically tied to Anchor, which earned its name because of the historical maritime influence on the city. A temperate climate and cool breeze from the San Francisco Bay have affected the way Anchor has produced beer since 1896.”

Teeming with lime, orange zest and papaya aromas, Baykeeper IPA has a slightly spicy, yet slightly sweet taste that finishes with a delicate bitterness.

California watercolor artist Jenna Rainey hand-painted the label on Baykeeper IPA, which features Baykeeper’s patrol boat charging through the water underneath the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Since 1989, Baykeeper’s patrol boat has regularly monitored the San Francisco Bay, the treasure of the Bay Area, to identify and investigate pollution. From there, Baykeeper

SUMMER 2020

strategically uses advocacy, public education and legal action to secure smart solutions that stop pollution and restore water quality.

Baykeeper IPA is available now nationwide in 6-packs of 12 oz. bottles and on draught at select bars, restaurants and stores as well as at Anchor Public Taps and the Anchor Brewing Taproom. You can find a brew near you by using the Anchor Beer Finder.
