Croft Pink / Cool Moments !

2010-12-20T12:41:00.000-08:00

An exciting rosé style of Port wine from the house of Croft.
Developed with new techniques, it extracts fresh, fruity flavours and delivers a subtle and delicate pink colour.
One of the original founding Port houses, Croft traces its origins back to 1588 when the company was established in England.
Croft Pink is best served chilled in a generous wine glass, or poured over ice and served in a high ball glass. It also lends itself beautifully for a range of cocktails!
Some of them developed for the latest Croft Pink Cocktail Competition, witch we can see on the video bellow, with some of the best bartenders mixing cocktails like "the runaway" or " Quinta Sangria".

Croft Pink is a summer cool breeze from the garden of Europe, Portugal.
The brand managers are developing several events world wide like the rendez-vous party in the heart of belgravia with lashings of Crofts Pink Port, an eccentric French mixologist and a sprinkling of some of the UK’s top travel journalists.

I had the pleasure of hosting (as a Bartender) an event at the ****Hotel Moliceiro in the charming city of Aveiro, sponsored by Croft Pink, the chosen cocktail for the evening was the " Pink Jasmine" , a mix of Crof Pink and Jasmine tea with a hint of fresh mint, a true cool breeze witch made a success at the party.

You can follow Croft Pink news and events through their Facebook page or through
their website at www.croftpink.com
As for me i'm gonna leave you with some cool recipes for you to mix and try. Enjoy it, enjoy it Pink !

Tales of the Cocktail 2009

2009-06-04T14:08:00.000-07:00

2009 Official Cocktail: The Creole Julep

Maksym Pazuniak, a mixologist at
Rambla and Cure, won over the judges with his balanced and well-layered julep featuring Cruzan Single Barrel Estate
Rum, Rhum Clement Creole Shrubb, Captain Morgan 100 Proof Rum, Fee Brothers Peach Bitters, Angostura Bitters, fresh
mint, and Demerara sugar.

"The Mint Julep was the drink that put American mixology on the map, the thing that foreigners pointed to when they wanted
to say something nice about the rough-and-tumble new nation on the western shore of the Atlantic. And originally, like most
American inventions, it allowed for plenty of individuality and improvisation. With this contest, the Julep is back," says
author and cocktail historian David Wondrich.

The Creole Julep
Created by Maksym Pazuniak, Rambla/Cure

2 1/4 oz. Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum

1/2 oz. Clement Creole Shrubb

1/4 oz. Captain Morgan 100 Rum

2 dashes Fee Bros. Peach bitters

2 dashes Angostura bitters

8-10 mint leaves

1 Demerara Sugar Cube

Maksym's cocktail will be served throughout Tales of the Cocktail, July 8-12 and will be featured in the summer issue of
Culinary Concierge Magazine and on CocktailTimes.com.

The second place cocktail was the Joie de Julep, created by
Corey Bunnewith of Drink. The third place cocktail was the Ginger Peach
Julep, created by Wayne Curtis, a freelance journalist.

Tales of the Cocktail has also collaborated with The Liquid Muse Virgin Mixology and Fre Alcohol Removed Wines to
offer the festival’s second annual official non-alcoholic cocktail, which is also a Julep. The Sassy Southern Belle
will be the official nonalcoholic cocktail of Tales of the Cocktail and will be served at several of their signature events.

Citadelle - Authentic French Gin.

2009-04-29T11:12:00.000-07:00

The recipe for Citadelle Gin was developed by a distillery in Dunkirk in 1771. Dunkirk was one of the first ports of call in Europe for many explorers sailing back from the Orient, whose ships were laden with exotic herbs and spices.

Citadelle Gin is made according to principles laid down in the original recipe. Although the production techniques have improved over the centuries, we still use the same 19 botanicals listed in the original recipe.

Citadelle, the only gin with 19 spices
Citadelle Gin is the only gin in the world made with 19 different botanicals, giving the gin a unique, complex, well-balanced flavour. The secret recipe is known only by the master distiller. In keeping with the traditions of the first European trading captains of the 17th century, only the finest spices are used. This unrivalled variety of spices comes from many distant and diverse places:
• Juniper France
• Coriander Morocco
• Orange peel Mexico
• Cardamom India
• Liquorice China
• Cubeb pepper Java
• Savory France
• Fennel Méditerranean
• Iris Italy
• Cinnamon Sri Lanka
• Violets France
• Almonds Spain
• Cassia Indochina
• Angélica Germany
• Grains of paradise West Africa
• Cumin Holland
• Nutmeg India
• Lemon rind Spain
• Star anise France

A "hand-crafted" gin
Citadelle gin is triple-distilled from wheat and spring water. Before being steeped in neutral alcohol, the botanicals are carefully selected and then placed in a specific bag. This infusion is then distilled to capture each separate aroma, so that the intermingled, complex flavours can develop independently.

Tasting notes
Citadelle gin offers a subtle bouquet, with aromas of juniper and citrus. It is elegant, soft, and smooth on the palate. It has a long aftertaste which expresses its aromatic complexity to the fullest. At 44° - 88 proof, Citadelle gin is perfectly balanced between intensity and finesse.
The purity and subtle flavour of Citadelle gin makes it an ideal base for many cocktails, in particular the best Gin & Tonic in the world.

Mr.Próspero and Cocktail Academy were at the Alimentaria 09-Lisboa with Citadelle Gin and the presentation was a success, the tasting surprised most of the presents with its particular smooth flavour.

The Molecular team, Mr. próspero and Chef Fábio, created a special molecular cocktail with Citadelle Gin.

A caviar of Gin, Ginger syrup, fresh Black Pepper and Apple Balsamic sauce.

A different way of tasting Gin for the surprise of the presents.

Cheers to Citadelle Gin.
