All things drink. The bartenders blog.

There may well be better Bartending/Drink/Cocktail/DrinksIndustry blogs out there. However this one is published by a rank and file cocktail bartender still on the wrong side of the bar. I have a passion for my industry and I hope I can share it with anyone who cares to check it out.

This blog is for anyone who's interested. Bartenders or drinkers, educate yourselves and remember that drinking is an art, not a sport. Better a few quality drinks, than many shitty ones. I hope this blog will help to broaden some drinking and tending horizons in every good bartenders quest to create adventurous drinkers.

Video with 1 note

This video is all about Havanna Club. Their Barrel Proof (now renamed ‘Seleccion de Maestros’) just arrived at the bar and I’ve barely taken my nose out of the bottle. One of my favourite rums and the absolute perfect choice for a ‘Cuban Old fashioned’. Try it with Angostura or Angostura Orange Bitters. It takes a little while to make right, but it’s more than worth the wait. I noticed that everything (especially the old fashioned) tastes better when you drink straight from the glass as opposed to through even the shortest straw. Get your nose in the drink to truly get the impact of a rum as complex as this.
