SIGNATURE DRINK» Taking Care of Gin-ness

HERE’S A SHOUT-OUT TO REMI HUYGHE FOR CREATING ANOTHER GREAT MOTOWN FAVORITE.

Taking Care of Gin-ness is his new signature cocktail featured on the drink menu in the urban contemporary Volt Lounge, located in the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center.

Huyghe’s creation was the winner in the 2018 Detroit Marriott’s Master of Your Craft beverage competition. He has worked at Volt for six years and has been a bartender in metro Detroit for more than 20 years. He’s also been instrumental in building Volt’s craft cocktail portfolio, making his own infused bitters and tonic syrup.

“I just wanted to craft an old-school cocktail with a modern flair,” Huyghe says of his winning signature drink. Taking Care of Gin-ness features the Ferndale-based Valentine Distilling Co.’s Old Tom Liberator Gin, which is aged in American oak barrels for two years. Old Tom Liberator Gin, presenting an aroma of juniper and pine mixed with hints of oak, woody spices and citrus peel, won the title of Best Cask Gin in the World from the World Gin Awards and also received a gold medal from the International Craft Spirit Awards. It’s a perfect pick, says Huyghe.

Both the Volt Lounge and Valentine Distilling host special events and parties.

TECH» A POCKET-SIZED PRESENTATION TOOL

Fasetto’s new product makes for seamless meetings while engaging attendees.

When it comes to meetings and events, tech issues are universal. Fasetto, an innovative Wisconsin-based tech company, aims to change that with the November launch of its new gadget Forum.

“Forum is a safety net,” Fasetto CEO Coy Christmas explains. “You can sleep in 15 minutes later because you will be confident that setting-up will go according to plan.” Designed as an integrated presentation solution, Forum creates a wireless network for participants to join—allowing them to view presentations on their own device and interact with the presenter—independent of Wi-Fi connection or the challenges that come with presenting in unfamiliar spaces.

“While Forum knocks down logistical presentation hurdles, it was ultimately designed to make engaging with the audience easier,” says Christmas.

Presenters using Forum can conduct live polls, respond to questions, and share files and contact information with their audience, all in one convenient place. Fasetto also plans to work continuously to provide users with new Forum features that will be released through software updates. holdaforum.com; 715.718.2464 —Jenna Barbari
