MEET THE TEAM
glimpse into what we think you should be drinking in winter 2018. It’s always challenging to taste and consider bold winter flavours whilst in the midst of summer, but we wanted to make sure that you had all the information, trends and flavours to make winter 2018 a success in your outlet. We think that serves will continue to be important — the ‘I want one of those’ generation drink with their eyes as much as their palates, and so making drinks ‘insta-friendly’ is important. Taste remains crucial thoughout. Make a good looking bad tasting drink and you only get one sale. Get the taste and the look right, and you could just have created a modern classic.
Remember food as well — we are all used to matching food and wine, but rarely consider a cocktail during a meal. This could all be about to change as we have partnered with some flavour super brains to explore how to match up cocktail flavours and dishes. Have a look on page 4 for more info. We also have articles on using tea as a modifier in cocktails (page 7). Drop me a line at daniel.ianson@pernod-ricard.com if you have comments or questions. Cheers!

MATCHING FOOD & COCKTAILS FOOD PAIRINGS USING OUR NEWLY REVEALED SCIENTIFIC DATA
shall start with oysters and a chilled flute of Champagne, then I’ll have a yummy glass of Sauternes with a slice of fois gras, followed by a classic dry red from Bordeaux (or Bergerac) with duck confit & sarladaise potatoes (potatoes cooked in duck fat with onions and lardons, my favourites!) … or just good old fish & chips and a pint of Weissbier perhaps. Salivating yet? I am personally partial to a Cognac Sazerac on the side of my cheese board to finish with … to me, this is what makes life worth living! C’est la vie, quoi. What do we know about food & drink matching apart from the fact that we all love it? Well, not much is the answer that few of us care to admit. Yes, it is about food enhancing the drinks and vice versa. How does one go about it though? What is the secret power of sommeliers, capable of recommending the perfect beverage according to your choice of food? Here are a few simple principles traditionally used by our wine experts to get us started: Sweetness/Umami in food: • Increases the perception of bitterness, astringency, acidity and the warming effect of alcohol in the wine. • Decreases the perception of body, sweetness and fruitiness in the wine. Acidity in the food: • Increases the perception of body, sweetness and fruitiness in the wine. • Decreases the perception of acidity in the wine. Salt in food: • Increases the perception of body in the wine. • Decreases the perception of bitterness, astringency and acidity in the wine.
4
Bitterness in food: • Increases the perception of bitterness in the wine. Chilli heat in food: • Increases the perception of bitterness, astringency, acidity and the burning effect of alcohol in the wine. • Decreases the perception of body, richness, sweetness and fruitiness in the wine. Our fellow beer lovers on the other side would tell you that flavour begins with aroma. Harmonising aromatics between the drink and the food is one of the guiding principles of matching. The nose will often guide you in the right direction. Wine and food pairing (as well as beer and food) is prolific and long seen as a science. It is all about creating a taste interaction between the different structural components (salt, sweetness, acidity, etc.). Simple as that! What about cocktails and spirits then? Considering our newly gained basic knowledge, we could look at matching sweet libations with sweet foods, sour foods with acidity in a drink, bitter cocktails with salty or sweet foods, or maybe contrast sweet concoctions with salty foods, and use acid or astringency to cut through fat. Generally, matching body in food with body in drinks is important — richer foods with high ABV drinks; lighter foods with sparkling cocktails; as well as flavour intensity in both. The cooking method has its own role to play too if you wish to take it further: dishes prepared with gentle cooking methods should be paired with light and acidic cocktails, while dishes that involved barbecuing/roasting/stewing/ grilling should be served with more full -bodied drinks.
Now, guess what? There is no such thing as an objectively perfect pairing, though we at Pernod Ricard have taken a very exciting new step towards it. In collaboration with food scientist Dr Rachel Edwards-Stuart, we have chemically analysed some of our products to reveal their compounds and the flavours and aromas attached to them. Furthermore, we have been working with drinks pioneers The Drink Factory to develop a generic “how to” match spirits and food (using various flavour wheels) as well as a unique series of cocktail and food pairings using our newly revealed scientific data — see below for one of our favourites. Why one could say: “Taste, that’s why?” and that’s all that matters! Santé et bon appetit! The Cocktail: Rum and Maple Old Fashioned — Havana 7 years old rum stirred down with caramelized maple syrup and Angostura bitters. Garnished with a long orange twist (recipe by the Drink Factory). The food pairing: Parmesan — Parmesan savoury ice cream sandwiched between parmesan biscuits (creation by Rob Roy Cameron, Head Chef at Untitled).

JAPANESE HI-BALLS 200 YEARS IN THE MAKING MIZUNARA OAK uly 2017 … I’m sitting at a very stylish but small bar in the Ginza District of Tokyo. The temperature outside is 100°F and I need a cool refreshing drink. My Japanese colleague suggests a Japanese Highball with the Chivas Mizunara … perfect I thought. I was actually expecting a drink within 30 seconds … I’m thinking it’s just a whisky and soda after all. However 5 minutes has passed and I’m now paying close attention to the bartender. Everything is so precise, the hand movements, the position of the bottles, the glass. I noticed the glass was chilled, two long rectangular ice cubes were carefully placed in the glass. The Chivas Mizunara was carefully poured in. The ice was stirred, then stirred again and again. Then a small amount of soda water was poured in, more stirring, then more stirring. More soda, then yes, you’ve guessed it. At this point I have to admit the thought of ‘get a bloody move on mate, it’s a spirit and mixer’ did cross my mind. I’m not the most patient of people especially when I’m thirsty! Eventually, I got to taste my first real Japanese Highball and immediately felt like an idiot (not a first time) for being so impatient. This drink was incredible!! It was refreshing, effervescent, simple but complex. The soda water still carried the flavours of the whisky and suddenly I had discovered a new favourite drink. I literally then drank it everywhere, late night, with lunch, with dinner, mid morning, mid afternoon and especially with my favourite ramen dishes. It really was a life changing drinking moment. Where did this drink come from? Why is it so popular? I decided to investigate … Apparently this drink became popular in the 50s to 70s with Japanese businessmen before fading with the introduction of the Mizuwari (the canned RTD version). However, in the 2000s, with the explosion of cocktail culture and some clever marketing, the Highball returned. It makes sense logically. Why would you want to mask the taste of Japanese or Scotch Whisky? The Japanese will mainly consume this drink with food, usually after work. Many I’ve seen with lemon wedges but I prefer without. It’s also incredibly refreshing and Japanese summers are HOT!
I think what I find most interesting about this, is the fact that despite just being whisky/soda water & ice, there really is a lot of skill and art behind it. Many different theories and preferences to the type of glass, how chilled is the glass, the whisky used, the number and shape of ice cubes, the water used, the soda water used, the garnishes, whisky/ soda ratio, how many times do you stir the drink for dilution. It seemed every bar was different but every Japanese Highball was fantastic to drink with many various subtleties. In conclusion it’s the control over each element which really makes this a thing of beauty. The Chivas Mizunara is a great whisky for the Highball. Yes yes I know I’m completely biased, but hear me out. Japanese Mizunara oak was first used for aging whisky during WW2. The Japanese couldn’t get hold of any European or American barrels, so switched to the only option they had — Japanese oak. At first this was a complete disaster! The demand though for whisky from the vast Japanese army was huge so they had to do something. Mizunara up to that point was mainly used to make expensive furniture & the Japanese coopers noticed many problems. … The Japanese oak had a much higher moisture content, the tree doesn’t grow straight and needs to be at least 200 years old before you can make it into a cask. The casks then were prone to leaking. It also imparted many intense woody flavours into the whisky. It was only after much trial and error that the Japanese learned how to use this oak. Essentially the oak cask needs to be 20 years old before it imparts the right flavours into the whisky. Then these beautiful flavours of sandalwood, incense and coconut come through. Chivas Mizunara is a special blend which is finished off in these casks. The Mizunara oak is very rare and very expensive and as you can imagine difficult to source. Today an American Oak cask will set you back $150, a rarer Spanish Sherry Butt $1,000 whilst a Japanese Mizunara cask is $5,000! Try making a Highball with the Chivas Mizunara, there is a wonderful sweet aromatic spice that comes through into the drink. Kanpai!

STRIKING GOLD
ON TRADE A FEW RAISED EYEBROWS AND AN INCLINATION TO SWIPE LEFT n January 2016, putting a £1 accumulator bet on Leicester City winning the Premier League, Britain leaving the EU and Donald Trump winning the presidential election would have netted you £4.5m — not too shabby! However, therein lies the problem with predicting the future. Therefore, when I received a Monday morning (pre-caffeine) email asking me “what’s the current trends?,” we decided to stay professional, don our Nostradamus hat and set out to find out what is going on out there and could we gather a glimpse into a future vision of our beloved drinks trade. Over the following months, we poured through dozens of “trend” reports from all over the world looking at anything from culinary predictions, international trade deals, Silicon Valley funding rounds and a delightful document on the US marijuana market. Then, in a moment akin to the scene in Russell Crowe’s A Beautiful Mind — themes, patterns and buckets started to come together! Had we struck gold? Had we been alone too long? Then we realised we hadn’t utilised the greatest resource we had — speaking to the actual experts, those in the trade. Visionaries assemble! We gathered some of the most innovative minds in the industry to compliment the 110 odd years of experience/servitude in the Pernod Ricard Brand Ambassador team to see what was hot or not (hey — it worked for Zuckerberg).

The upcoming report is the fusion of all these great investigations and observations. It will explore ingredients which can set bars apart; impacts that the modern world has, or may, thrust upon us; how technology and science can turn a drink into a work of art and create ever lasting memories and finally how we can evolve and develop the greatest asset the trade has — the bartender. Some of it may require a little suspension of disbelief, a few raised eyebrows and an inclination to swipe left. We hope it may just provoke discussion and, as a minimum, be an enjoyable read. It may, just may, be worth sticking a quid on a couple of the ideas. Look out for this trends report on the Beat Society website — thebeatsociety.com

ea! Wonderful plant with medicinal and mystical properties, beloved by all. What else is there to say about it ? Well, we think we know everything about tea but something I’ve always asked myself was “What is all that noise about green tea and black tea and red tea and white and blue …” If you know the answer to the question, congratulations! If you don’t read ahead, you’ll be surprised. First off, what is tea? Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the Camellia Sinensis, a shrub native to Asia. There are many varieties of teas available on the market. Different teas have different flavour profiles: some are more astringent and slightly bitter flavour (mostly true for Chinese teas) whilst other have a more nutty, sweet or grassy flavour. Tea originated in southwest China first as a medicine then as the most popular drink during the Tang Dynasty. Tea became popular in Great Britain around the 17th Century, grown in India to bypass the Chinese monopoly over production.
So wait, are you saying that tea is only one plant? What’s the difference then? Yes you read it correctly. 99% of teas, not including herbal teas (like rosehip, chamomile) comes from the aforementioned Camellia Sinensis. The Chinese variety of the plant is used for most Chinese, Formosan and Japanese teas whereby the Assamica variety is used in Puerh and most Indian teas. Leaf size is the chief criterion for the classification of the plant. Assam leaves are bigger whilst Chinese leaves are the smallest. Now comes the interesting part. When a tea leaf is picked from the plant it soon starts to wilt and oxidise turning gradually darker. The darkening and wilting can be stopped with heat. Controlling the heat and when it is administered is key to deliver different styles of teas. It seems like a very long process and it is! Being such an old beverage tea production can reach interesting levels of complexity and it requires high knowledge and skills to be able to extract predetermined characteristics from the plant.
TEA IN COCKTAILS We all know how tea is made (although many grannies would strongly disagree!) and we’ve all had our fair share of cups of tea. What about tea in cocktails? If we look at traditional cocktail books one of the first mention of tea included in drinks goes way back in history. In his Bartender’s guide (1862) Jerry Thomas included a drink advocating the use of black tea called Ruby Punch that you can try and make at home. RUBY PUNCH Ingredients 50ml Ceylon Arrack 20ml Taylors Ruby Port 20ml fresh lemon juice 15ml sugar syrup 75ml black tea (brewed & cooled) Method Shake all ingredients with ice, strain over fresh ice.
I’m not Jerry Thomas, of course, but I’ve been around a bit and I’ve tried different cocktails containing tea. Here is my top 5 tea cocktails in London at the moment: PAGAN (69 Colebrook Row) Golden beetroot vodka, Puerh tea syrup flavoured with pagan incense. CINEMA PARADISO (The Gibson Bar) Plymouth gin, chocolate muffin espresso, Limoncello, Campari and chai tea vermouth. TOLEDO PUNCH (Punch room, Edition hotel) Absolut Elyx, manzanilla sherry, English peppermint tea, pine needle syrup and lime juice. HORIZON (Bar Swift) Havana 7 Years Old and Bajan Rum Bland, Cocchi Rosa, 30&40, Bonal, Rich hibiscus Angostura bitters and orange bitters CUBAN BUCKEYE (Mint Gun Club) Cuban rum, Manzanilla sherry, Sencha, black olives What else is there to say, time to try them all!

THE ROSEWOOD HOTEL ucked away in the heart of central London, The Monkey 47 Winter Lodge at the Rosewood Hotel took its inspiration from British Commander Montgomery “Monty” Collins and his Schwarzwald dry gin brand, ‘Max the Monkey’ Gin, which he named after a monkey that he sponsored in the Berlin Zoo. Having moved to the Black Forest after World War II, Monty opened a country guest house and, in an effort to retain his British roots, started to produce his own gin. The forest boasted an abundance of juniper, bramble leaves, lingon berries and many other botanicals that led to the creation of his unique Black Forest gin recipe. In this cosy winter lodge Monkey 47 evoked the feeling of Christmas spirit. Luxurious sheepskin rugs, vintage cuckoo clocks, and contemporary wood panelling transported guests to a mountain lodge nestled deep in the pine forest. The menu comprised a selection of hot and cold gin cocktails inspired by German desserts.
THE MONKEY47 WINTER LODGE
We wanted to take the chance to highlight a few of these drinks for this coming winter months to provide some inspiration for your festive lists. Enjoy, or as they say in the Black Forest, Proßt!

THE LAST STRAW he movement targeting single-use plastic straws is completely justified and not simply a millennial trend. Plastic straws are not recyclable and contribute significantly to man made waste that ends up in landfill and litters our oceans. In the United States, people use more than 500 million straws a day — that’s over 182 billion a year.
In the United Kingdom we have seen some huge hospitality players join the fight from the likes of Marriot hotel banning straws from every one of its 60 hotels, the SWA (Scotch Whiskey association) has started phasing out straws, Wetherspoon’s has recently joined the campaign and shown a lot of multi-chain businesses it can be done, Be at One has pledged to eliminate straws in all its venues, Pernod Ricard and Bacardi have also gone plastic free at their events. In the past I like many other bartenders have been looking hard into what sustainable practises are viable and practical in my place of work. Getting rid of straws is a great way to get started but doesn’t come as easy as you may think when it come to a viable replacement. I have looked at the best replacements on the market and looked at the pros and cons of each of them.
2. Bio-degradable straws otherwise known as PLA straws (Polylactic Acid) The issue with PLA straws is that people think they are buying an environmentally-friendly product. Although PLA is biodegradable, PLA straws and other PLA products become another form of plastic that will take years to break down in landfills and the ocean. 3. Straw straws are awesome and are 100% de-degradable in a lot shorter time then PLA straws but for high turn-over venues these are not a financial option, but over time I have no doubt these will come down in price. 4. Stainless steel straws are by far the best way to go environmentally. Compared to PLA, straw or paper, although the opening costs can be expensive, you won’t have to buy another straw again. They can be cleaned very easily and look great for your guests.
I recently interviewed Bertie and Phe from The Dirty Beach Club, a volunteer group who meet up to clear beaches in the North West from straws and other plastics. You can follow them on Instagram at @dirty.beach.club

Breaking down Straws. 1. Paper straws are by far the most environmentally-friendly option. Paper straws break down quickly (they start to break down within three days if they end up in our oceans), and are compostable. But it is important to do your research as some company’s spray their straws with a thin layer of plastic and other chemicals. Paper straws do have some disadvantages through. Paper straws warp at the bottom over a short period of time plus we all have friends who chew the top of their straws leaving a horrible taste and small bits of paper in their teeth!

182 BILLION STRAWS A YEAR
THE INTERVIEW What made you start the Dirty Beach Club? Phe and I were friends for a good few months when she posted a pic of all the rubbish she had collected off Formby beach. We were both outraged and agreed to meet up and clean the beach ourselves. The first ever beach clean was just me, Phe and her Nan. We were astounded by the amount of litter we’d collected, and decided to try and get more hands on deck. This was where Dirty Beach Club started! Although we must admit that we were first named Clean Beach Club, until a friend suggested he would set up a rival sexier group called Dirty Beach Club … so we stole his name. How have you found it getting people to show up? We decided to turn to social media to promote our events and group. Dirty Beach Club has grown faster and bigger than we ever anticipated. Expanding from 3 volunteers on our first event to 117 on just our third! We have also been approached by a number of kind businesses and organisations wanting to donate their time/products for us to use, such as biodegradable bin bags.
Do you have any plans going forward with the dirty beach club? We are hoping that Dirty Beach Club will continue to grow and attract as many volunteers as possible. We are also hoping to explore new ways of removing waste from the beach with recyclable materials such as bio bags so we are completely plastic and waste free. Equally we’re hoping to change people’s attitudes and lifestyles during the event. Encouraging our volunteers to adopt a plastic free mentality. How have you found the demographic is for people who in your club? We have found that we have had a great mix of people attending the beach club. From families to surfing students, everyone has enjoyed the comradery and the satisfaction of knowing you’ve done a good job. Finally if you were to give one piece of advice to a consumer who may not yet understand the life of plastics what would it be? Our piece of advice would be to just get stuck in! Find the one thing you think you can change for the better: buying a reusable water bottle, a packed lunch, even just start refusing the straw! Every small action we all take will help to make a difference.

DON’T LET THE TRUTH GET IN THE WAY OF A GOOD STORY
IRISH COFFEE rish Coffee. The hottest cocktail in the world right now.
IRISH COFFEE INGREDIENTS: 40ml Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition 75ml Colombian dark roast filter coffee 20ml Rich Demerara syrup Float fresh double cream METHOD: Build and float, 9oz Georgian Irish Coffee Glass, Grated Nutmeg * This drink can also be prebatched to include the coffee and sugar. 2 litres of hot filter coffee to 450g of demerara sugar and 10g sea salt — stir until fully mixed together. This pre mix should be kept hot between 75-79 degrees possibly in a sous vide. Add whiskey then pre mix up to the cream line.
Where did it all start? Who really created the Irish Coffee? It’s said that in 1943 a flying boat left Foynes Airport, Country Limerick but encountered a ferocious storm over the Atlantic, and turned back. When the passengers left the plane they were greeted by cold Irish winds and rain that would pierce the skin. Thankfully Head Chef Joe Sheridan and his team were on hand to fire up the ovens, fill their bellies with warm stew and potatoes and, with a joke or two, brighten up the spirits of even the dampest of customers. On this night, after dinner was served, he served sweet dark filter coffee with lashing of strong Irish whiskey and cream to float on top. The customers loved it and one called out “hey, is this a Brazilian coffee” to which Joe replied, “no, it’s an Irish Coffee”. What made this drink on this night a worldwide phenomenon was a travel writer called Stanton ‘Stan’ Delaplane of the San Francisco Chronicle who popularised the Irish Coffee in his travel column ‘Postcards’. He convinced Jack Koeppler, owner of the Buena Vista Café to serve and perfect this drink and on 10th November 1952 they perfected the Irish Coffee, spending two hours on the method for floating the cream perfectly. It was this year that Joe Sheridan emigrated to San Francisco to spend the rest of his life working at the Buena Vista Café.
Looking closer to the current day, The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog, New York helped bring ‘the Irish Bar into the 21st Century’ and bring the Irish Coffee back to fame. When I talked to founder Sean Muldoon recently, he said that the best way to increase awareness of Irish Whiskey was to “teach bartenders how to make an Irish Coffee correctly and take pride in our national drink”. When they reimagined this drink at The Dead Rabbit they broke it down in detail — “we treated it (Irish Coffee) like a classic cocktail, looking at each element as important as each other with no exceptions” and thank God they did folks, because from that point it got the drinks world talking about this magnificent drink again. Closer to home, ex-Dead Rabbit head bartender, Bobby Hiddleston, created an Irish Coffee for his own bar, Swift, in London (using Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition); perfect on a stormy night, after a missed flight or even just because you deserve one.

BOBBY HIDDLESTON TALKS HAWTHORN STRAINERS, PANDAN & RESPONSIBLE DRINKING pened in 2016 by husband and wife, Bobby Hiddleston and Mia Johansson, Swift is a unique drinking experience. Nestled in the heart of Soho, Swift offers a serene escape from the bustle outside; the upstairs bar features a small selection of cocktails, champagne and oysters for the “swift” visit, whilst downstairs offers a full whisky bar and extended cocktail list for visitors in less of a hurry. Swift’s range of cocktails draws on Bobby and Mia’s vast experience working in bars across the world, as well as wellknown London names like HIX Soho and Milk & Honey; it made perfect sense for The Glenlivet to approach them to create a bespoke drinks list. Following the mantra ‘simplicity is better — we make classics with a twist’, they’ve developed an exclusive menu for The Glenlivet. Turn to page 10 to see six of their creations. I sat down with Bobby to chat all things Swift x The Glenlivet.

SWIFT X THE GLENLIVET
SIMPLICITY IS BETTER WE MAKE CLASSICS WITH A TWIST For readers who haven’t been to Swift yet, can you explain the concept? The concept of Swift is based on the European culture of a quick, high quality drink, where one doesn’t have to dress up or plan ahead. The upstairs does not take reservations, and has a concise cocktail list, while the downstairs is a cosy lounge, with a more extensive original drink list, and a large collection of whiskies from around the world. Why the name “Swift”? This follows on from the idea of a “quick” drink, where guests may only stay for 45-90 minutes, without feeling the pressure of staying for a whole night (although we love it when they do!). Also, our business partners Edmund Weil & Rosie Stimpson own Nightjar and Oriole, so it continues on the “bird” theme. This issue is all about winter drinks. What’s your favourite winter cocktail? Irish Coffee, for sure! Winter drinking is all about warmth and cosying up — rich flavours. The Irish Coffee feels like a liquid hug. What’s your favourite cocktail ingredient at the moment? Super-fresh juices are popping up in my drinks a lot at the moment. We have a slow juicer on the bar at Swift, and we use it for everything from raspberries to pandan. How did you get started in bartending? Like a lot of people, by accident. I started working three nights a week in a student club when I was at university in Edinburgh, and it just went from there.
What do you enjoy the most about what you do? I love making people’s days. We’re not saving lives, but to be the person or part of the team to give a guest a slice of respite from the world, or to have a great fun party, or to just have a chat, makes a big difference. If you could make a drink for anyone, alive or dead, who would it be? Probably Robin Williams. I reckon he’d be a lot of fun. If you were only allowed to use one bar utensil for the rest of your bartending life (say the same person in charge of hypothetical interview questions were in charge of bar utensil availability), which would it be and why? A good Hawthorne strainer covers almost all bases. What’s your favourite expression of The Glenlivet? Big fan of the 18. What do you like about The Glenlivet? Its versatility speaks to me. It’s great for mixing, but also absolutely stands up in terms of complexity by itself. The Glenlivet’s latest campaign is all about being THE definitive whisky, celebrating George Smith’s tenacity in becoming the first licensed distiller in the Glenlivet valley. If you were to be known for being the first to do something, what would you like that to be? Most interesting “firsts” have already been done. Personally, I’m very content knowing I’m doing the best I can do, and that the people around me are happy.
How did you approach the task of coming up with the Swift x The Glenlivet cocktails? Mia and I love creating replicable cocktails that can be used in a variety of situations, so we felt the Swift style of drinks suited The Glenlivet down to the ground. We taste the liquids and compare notes, and come up with basic flavour combinations, and expand from there. My favourite cocktail (to make and drink) is the Violet Sky Martini. What was the inspiration for this drink? We looked at an excellent, but oftforgotten classic, The Arsenic & Old Lace. It’s a delicate, floral Martini-style drink, which translated perfectly to the nutty quality of the Glenlivet 15. One tip for bartenders looking to get ahead? Be humble. Always be learning. Don’t be a sheep. What trends should I be on the lookout for? Responsible drinking is huge at the moment, but I’m loathed to call it a trend as I feel it is more of a movement, and it should hold a permanent place in our minds.
