check out the reviews and take a chance to win some prizes posted by jimmyp at 10 20 am 0 comments tuesday march 10 2009 101 cocktails and the iphone there s a wide world of cocktails out there websites and books that list thousands and thousands of recipes the question i have when looking at these kitchen sink recipe collections is always do i really need 14 000 cocktail recipes my answer is always no working in a bar as a professional bartender you probably need 50 drink recipes on the fly when you re entertaining at home you probably need to have about ten or twenty go to favorites that you can whip up and impress your guests how do you get from the thousands and thousands of recipes available to the recipes you really need i wanted to take a shot at my own list i was shooting for 101 recipes i decided to list the 101 best and most important cocktails i could think of what do you put in and what do you leave out that was the hard part after i came up with my list i wanted to be able to use it out in the field a sort of field guide to my favorite cocktails so i turned it into an iphone application i could take with me anywhere through the magic of the iphone appstore i ve made it available to anyone with an iphone you can learn more about my 101 cocktails app here or purchase it here i ll be going through some of the recipes here at the cocktail hour as individual posts are you still here go buy it labels iphone recipes posted by jimmyp at 11 10 am 5 comments monday february 16 2009 whiskey for the people it s mixology monday again this time we re looking at hard drinks for hard times matt rowley is our host and along with lots and lots and lots of other people out there matt s been cut loose he s been made redundant from his advertising job in an effort limit his bar budget he has curtailed new purchases and is using zen like cellar management he s using all the bottles he already has on hand finishing up bottles or breaking open those bottles he s been hoarding i appreciate both matt s situation and his approach i ve got a different idea i want you to get more for less at the local shop think of it as a small stimulus package if my budget were really tight i d like a cocktail for 1 25 whiskey for the people there are whiskies out there that are such great values it s hard to believe i m not talking about nasty rotgut the kinda stuff you wouldn t ever want to touch i m talking about excellent high quality whiskies at rock bottom prices pikesville rye is widely distributed and is usually available for around 11 99 some parts of the country get it for 9 99 let s call it 12 this is good rye at a bargain price if you have a bottle of bitters on hand you re all set if you lost your bitters bottle or left it at work you ll need a bottle of that but it s an investment that will probably see you through for some time you may still have bitters in the bottle after the economy turns around let s call it 6 for 4 oz for your consideration i present the 1 25 old fashioned 2 oz pikesville rye whiskey 1 20 1 2 packets of sugar taken from the condiment racks free 1 small splash water free 2 dashes aromatic bitters 05 serve over ice in a rocks glass there are lots of values to be had if you know where to look and you know what you like dave wondrich recently had a posting in esquire that looked at some value options and i ll be looking for more ideas form this month s mixology monday wrap up ok 06 but the 1 25 cocktail sounds a lot better than the 1 26 cocktail 50 dashes ounce 1 50 per ounce posted by jimmyp at 9 09 pm 4 comments friday december 19 2008 help a bartender in need if you re going to be in san francisco on january 5th i urge you to join the san francisco bartending community for an important event

summit website posted by jimmyp at 4 43 pm 2 comments am i bar smart yet on tuesday i spent the day at barsmarts in san francisco barsmarts is an advanced bartending course put together by b a r and pernod ricard the program involves four units of book and video training and culminates in an all day event featuring lectures classwork written tests and a practical hands on test of bartending skills steve olson teaching doug frost the hang loose sign the lectures were interesting and a great opportunity to hear from industry luminaries f paul pacult steve olson andy seymour dave wondrich dale degroff and doug frost the written test was comprehensive and somewhat tricky i tried to make a deal with camper where he could take my written test and i d do his practical we couldn t come to an agreement though and he probably did better on the practical than i did he practiced the before the event i was confident about the practical test until i entered the room and was told i d be making my drinks for dave wondrich i broke into a cold sweat i felt i knew a bit about dave s taste in cocktails simply from reading everything he s ever written about cocktails i thought i d try to throw an old school twist to each of the cocktails i was asked to make dave wondrich watches a daquiri being shaken during the practical tests dave told me to make a martini and old fashioned and a daquiri great i know all these recipes and make them all the time on monday i had even watched this video of dave making an old fashioned on tv i thought my old fashioned was going well until i went for the pyro instead of this which is normally what happens the orange just kinda fizzled and blew out my match dave tasted the drink and said it was strong but good which was similar to the response in the video so i felt it was ok making martinis for dave is different from making martinis at work at work the martinis are dry a lot of people order a martini and are really looking for a cold glass of vodka i tried to go a little old school and askd dave if he d like a 4 1 gin martini he mentioned maybe he d like it a bit wetter than that 3 to 1 ummm can you make me a 2 1 martini ok so that s a little wetter than even i was thinking i think the martini turned out ok too dave did give me the recipe after all for the daiquiri i thought i d go for a little secret ingredient deviate from the recipe they gave us in the book i asked dave if i could add a little something special to the standard recipe and he agreed i planned to use maraschino as part of the sweetener in the drink i added the rum lime and maraschino to the tin and started to look for the simple syrup i couldn t find it and dave had to tell me where it was then i proceeded to stir the daquiri i don t know why but for the daquiri i usually stir it i think it gives it a nice texture and looks nice and clean but for the test i think this is the wrong answer obviously they wanted me to build a drink stir a drink and shake a drink there is a general rule of thumb for this too if the drink has fruit juice in it shake it simple knowing the rules and breaking them when you want to is one thing but i think for a test you should probably try to do the basics to show you actually know the rules i think i got too caught up in trying to be fancy when i should have tried to stick to the basics i won t know the results of the written and practical tests for a few weeks i was impressed with the program and pleased to have taken part in it i have to hand it to pernod ricard for going out of their way to raise the bar for bartenders and build a community at the same time well done more information about barsmarts is available on the barsmarts website there are plans to move the program into several markets in the future and also offer a barsmarts wired program for on line bartender education when i find out the results of my barsmarts tests i ll post them here pass or fail at least i can say i made cocktails for dave wondrich and he spit them all out posted by jimmyp at 10 05 am 3 comments tuesday october 07 2008 whiskyfest top ten list jeffrey morgenthaler is a great blogger he could post his to do list
