At-Home Bartenders

E

very week we’re seeing more restrictions lifted, and more bars and restaurants reopen. It’s such a great feeling to see so many of our friends going back to work, and so many of our favorite bars hanging the “Welcome” sign! At the same time, we still know that so many of our colleagues in the hospitality industry are in need of financial aid, and through our Bartenders’ Foundation – a non-profit we created years ago with the goal of “Taking Care of our Own” – we continue to proudly support those in our community.

As business begins to rebound, it’s also been gratifying to see over this past year that so many people have developed an interest in making cocktails at home, and we applaud liquor retailers who aren’t just selling bottles but are actively working to educate their customers about mixology and promote cocktails at home. Starting with this issue, we’re broadening our editorial coverage to bring you stories from the off-premise side of the industry, in addition of course to our regular features about bars, bartenders, recipes, and trends. We’re also increasing our subscriber base to distribute BARTENDER® Magazine to more people in beer, wine, and spirits retail.

So, please join us in raising a glass to our colleagues who have worked hard through the pandemic to keep our liquor cabinets full at home, and who have been helping people sharpen their home bartending skills – those are exactly the consumers we need, enthusiastic cocktail lovers who will be first to take a seat at our bars when we fully reopen!

‘BOB’S YOUR UNCLE’…

THAT WOULD BE A GOOD NAME FOR A BAR

BY GREG COHEN

8

BARTENDER® Magazine

SPRING 2021

ave you ever said something particularly witty or uttered a phrase among friends and thought “you know, that would be a good name for a bar?”….

That’s exactly how Danielle Savin came upon the brilliant name for the New York and Miami bars she co-owns, “Bob’s Your Uncle.”

It’s a British expression, and though the origins of it are somewhat murky, the phrase is generally voiced to conclude a set of easy instructions, similar to what we may say on this side of the Pond, “piece of cake.” In any case, it’s a clever and catchy name for a bar, and no doubt has contributed to the enormous success that Savin and her team have achieved, despite recent pandemic challenges.

Bob’s Your Uncle opened in 2015 at 105th Street and Columbus on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and then expanded to a second location in the historic district of Normandy Isle in North Miami Beach in 2019. Both locations feature a wall adorned with framed photos of famous “Bobs,” those like Marley, Barker, Segar, Ross, Newhart, and of course Sponge. Savin hasn’t counted how many Bobs are on the wall, but she says people suggest new candidates all the time. Her bar is a comfortable and inviting neighborhood place that prides itself on its eclectic clientele, warm hospitality, laidback atmosphere, and affordable craft cocktails (many named, you can probably guess, after certain fellas named Bob).

Savin says she has always loved the ambiance of neighborhood bars, and that’s why her goal from the beginning was to find a location (now two locations) that would cater to locals. These days though, she’s glad to see a lot of new people, in addition to her regulars, at her Miami Beach outpost as more people escape to the relative openness of Florida. She’s also very proud that the bar, after only one year from when she opened her doors, was named “Best Bar in Miami Beach” by the Miami New Times.

As is the case for everyone, lockdown hasn’t been easy for Bob’s, but Savin has a positive outlook. “It’s been super stressful, but now we’re in the swing of things and I know we’ll be fine,” she says. “Ultimately you become the company you keep, and I’m just so thankful to our regulars, and to our amazing staff. It’s old-school hospitality. We’re family.”

Don’t Overlook

High-End Rum As the Total Rum Category Struggles, Top-Tier Brands Thrive

T

he tequila and mezcal categories are on fire, consumer interest in bourbon isn’t likely to wane anytime soon, and no doubt we’ll soon catch up to the rest of the world in realizing a gin renaissance on our shores. But often overlooked is what’s happening with rum.

To be fair, the total rum category in this country has been declining (according to figures from IWSR Drinks Market Analysis, total rum volume in the U.S. was down -4.6% 2014-2019), however, when you look at rums priced $30 or more, that volume has grown a whopping +85.5% during the same period, 2014-2019. By 2024, IWSR forecasts that superpremium-and-above rum will grow +47.7% – that’s a faster growth rate than even that of super-premium+ whisky.

Clearly consumers are excited about high-end rum, and smart producers are taking note.

“There are some very good rums in the U.S., but few are truly standouts,” says Luis Fernandez, Founder and President at Yotomo Imports in Houston, the company behind ultrapremium Ron Inmortal Colombian rum that has generated considerable industry attention of late. “There’s huge potential at the super-premium level in this category, particularly for rums like Ron Inmortal. I’m from Colombia, some of the finest rums in the world are produced there, yet the number of Colombian rums available in the U.S. is extremely limited.

With Ron Inmortal, we have a real opportunity to educate people about the quality and sophistication of top-shelf rum, especially Colombian rum.”

Ron Inmortal was introduced in the U.S. just a few months ago and has already found a loyal following among consumers and bartenders. It’s produced in the port city of Barranquilla, where the region’s tropical climate creates the ideal conditions for rum production. The rum is aged in American white oak barrels for 12 years to impart a naturally rich aroma and flavor notes of vanilla, peach and citrus.

By 2024, IWSR forecasts that superpremium-and-above rum will grow +47.7% Another top-tier rum brand that has earned its share of praise and consumer interest is Don Papa from the Philippines.

Globally, the brand does almost 200,000 cases (up +19% in 2020), and in the U.S., where it’s now distributed nationally thanks to a recent supplier partnership with Zamora Company USA, Don Papa posted +131% volume growth last year.

“Even people who don’t typically drink rum, they’ve discovered how much they enjoy the taste profile of Don Papa,” says Matt Appleby, Director of Marketing at Zamora Company USA. “Brands like Don Papa are important growth drivers for the rum category, bringing more people in, especially whiskey drinkers.”

Led by Don Papa 7-year-old and Don Papa 10-year-old, Don Papa is one of the fastest-growing super-premium rum brands in the world. It’s produced on the sugarcane-rich island of Negros Occidental in the Philippines, known colloquially as “Sugarlandia,” and aged in bourbon barrels. The highly versatile rum is characterized by its sweeter signature style, and the distinctive Don Papa label is inspired by the animals and plants of the island. Later this year, Don Papa is introducing in the U.S. a limited-production rum finished in sherry casks.

As the high-end of the rum category continues to grow, no doubt expect to see more interesting and innovative brands and products make their way to the top shelves of the bar.

MILAGRO VINEYARDS NEW MEXICO FUN FACTS:

M

ilagro Vineyards and Winery is located in the picturesque Village of Corrales, New Mexico by the Rio Grande river a short distance Northwest from Albuquerque and is owned

by Mitzi and Rick Hobson (vigneron).

Milagro Vineyards creates Estate wines in Northern New Mexico from around 16 small plot vineyards located in the historic and picturesque Village of Corrales. Milagro has produced wines from Vinifera grapes since the vineyards were first planted in 1985. Convinced that wine is made mostly in the vineyard, they meticulously and now organically raise all the grapes used to make their wines. Wines are handmade in an Old-World style, aged in fine French Oak and in bottle to reflect the place or terroir that they come from.

Semillon is mostly thought of as the grape of the sweet wine of Sauternes and the famous, highly prized and priced, Chateau d’ Yquem in particular. Dry wines of Semillon are few and produced mostly in the Hunter Valley, Australia. The predominant style is that of a higher alcohol, oak flavored, buttery wine blended with about 20% Sauvignon Blanc to thin the oily like texture.

In 2019 they began raising grapes organically so all their wines beginning in 2019 and forward will be made from

organically raised grapes. The 2019 Semillon is the first release from 2019 Vintage. The vision was to create a lower alcohol, (yes, you can drink more of a low alcohol wine), early harvested, crisp and fruit forward wine. To that end, the vineyards are picked by hand and fermented separately, at different times, whole cluster pressed, barrel fermented in neutral French oak and aged on the lees.

It presents enticing aromas of lime, pear and hints of mineral, flavors of pear, lemon and mango, soft round texture, playful crisp acidity with a long finish. Perfect for that pick me up, Spring longing or pairing with white meats and fish, salads with citrus dressing, rich flavored soft and hard cheeses and mild spiced and herbed dishes along with roasted Silver Leaf vegetables. 50 cases, 12.2% Alc., $25.04 ($27 w/tax)/bottle

NEW MEXICO WINE New Mexico carries the proud distinction of being the origin of American viticulture with the arrival of Spanish monks and first plantings in 1629. For over 390 years grape growers have been experimenting with vitis vinifera and French hybrids in search of the perfect

Before Prohibition, Corrales had hundreds of wineries supported by the fact that streets have been named after folks who went to prison.

In the 90’s Milagro Vineyards and Winery became a potbellied pig retirement home of sorts and accumulated 9 pigs. All but Wilbur and Jezebel lived in a house we had built for them where they enjoyed classical music and living next to a vineyard. The pigs gave way to Boston Terriers and Milagro is the home to New Mexico Boston Terrier ( and any other breed) Rescue. Rick and Mitzi rescue and rehome about 60 dogs each year.

marriage of climate, soil and terrain to produce high quality wine. This trial and error process and the freedom to experiment has led to a diverse array of non-traditional varietals planted in high-desert elevations ranging from 3,300 to 6,000 feet above sea level.

Elevation lends itself to high intensity sunlight that ensures the grapes reach maturity and the resulting wines live up to full expression of these varietals.

Your Home Bar Building

BY DAN STERN

B

artenders definitely tend to have the best home bars!

And why shouldn’t we, we have a front row seat to discovering every interesting spirit category and brand, not to mention barware, bitters, and equipment. But for those who aren’t bartenders, or new to the hospitality community, I always tell people that the first step when building your home bar is to start with what you love. Maybe the first bottle you purchase is the spirit that’s in the cocktail at your favorite spot, created by a friend behind the bar.

I also always suggest to new bartenders to buy a few cocktail books or look up your favorite cocktails online. I started with a Dale DeGroff cocktail book that a friend lent me. Dale is like the godfather of modern mixology to me as a fellow New York actor turned bartender. For my home bar, I like to be able to make all my favorite classics like a Vesper Martini, Hemingway Daiquiri, Vieuix Carre, Paloma, and Caipirinhas. The bottles I have accumulated at my bar reflect those cocktails, so you will rarely find my home without Benedictine, all the Vermouths, Lillet Blanc, Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, Chartreuse, and some Amaro to round things out. Of course, I also have my favorite vodka, gin (Plymouth), differently aged rums, tequilas (Siete Leguas), mezcals (Illegal or Del Maguey), bourbon, rye and Scotch whiskeys. I would suggest having one of each of those spirits to start, to enjoy all types of cocktails at home.

It has taken me years to collect, fueled by curiosity and jobs perks, so take your time and enjoy it.

Cocktails are a great way to branch out to spirits you may think you’d never like. For instance, I have found that many classic gin cocktails not only go great when vodka is substituted (found a lot in the late 1980s-2000s) but also work using mezcal!

I like to say to some of my customers, this is a cocktail that has the “same vibe, different taste.” There is something about the natural botanicals of the gin and the earthy, smokey tones of mezcal that play delightfully using the same ingredients. A great example of this is the Mezcal Negroni, replacing the gin with mezcal to go with the Sweet Vermouth and Campari.

12

BARTENDER® Magazine

SPRING 2021

IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT EVEN FURTHER, MAY I SUGGEST THIS VARIATION:

James Banderas 11/4 oz. Mezcal ¾ oz. Reposado Tequila ¾ oz. Montenegro Amaro 1 dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters 1 dash Orange Bitters 1 dash Peychaud’s Bitters Stir all ingredients with Ice, pour into a chilled coupe, garnish with a grapefruit twist.

I ALSO LIKE DOING A MEZCAL VARIATION ON AN EASTSIDE (GIN, LIME, CUCUMBER, MINT, SUGAR):

Strawberryside 2 oz. mezcal 1 oz. lime juice 3/4 oz. agave syrup 1 sprigs of fresh mint 2 strawberries (sliced in half, 1 to muddle, 1 to garnish) Lightly muddle the mint and strawberries, add juice syrup then mezcal, shake vigorously with ice, double strain with a tea strainer over ice. Add soda or sparkling white wine if desired.

Garnish with a strawberry or a grapefruit twist and enjoy!

Personally, the most fun aspect of spirits and cocktails is that it is like a bridge between science and art. They say baking is science and cooking is art. Cocktail making, or mixology, is right smack in the middle. Cocktails are like a balance equation of flavor, sweet to sour, savory to tart, alcohol forward to dilution, that’s the science part.

A simpler way to express your personality and style onto your home bar is through your equipment. As all bartenders know, tools are a very important part of making cocktails and there

BARTENDER.COM | MIXOLOGIST.COM

feature

are a few I would recommend having at your home bar. Personally, I think the most important bar tool any bartender could have is the Jigger, a measuring tool that fits between 2 fingers and can measure ½, ¾, 1 and 2 oz. pours. I have tried just about every type and style out there and I particularly like the Wadasuke Nick and Nora Glass Stainless Steel Jigger 2 oz./1 oz. It has graduated lines to measure less than full and is the most durable I have ever worked with. Most cocktails won’t call for more than 2 oz. in a single serving. Having an accurate measure of your ingredients is essential to making balanced cocktails and will give you a better sense of how flavors interact with one another so you can customize the cocktail to how you want it.

Next is the shaker/strainer. Maybe you like a 3-piece shaker for your Stanley Tucci inspired shaken Negroni, so you don’t need an extra piece to strain into your glass. I personally like a 2-piece Boston Shaker along with Hawthorne Strainer and Tea strainer because having both guarantees that you won’t have those little shards of ice or anything you muddled end up in your drink. If you are looking to make a cocktail with citrus, you will want to shake it so you can have a cold, frothy, refreshing cocktail. A Julip strainer is also a great option for stirred drinks, and that brings us to our next and final set of tools, the bar spoon and mixing/pint glass.

Stirred cocktails are usually alcohol forward and don’t include any citrus so no need to aerate your cocktail. To get a smooth dilution rate for your stirred drinks you will need a bar spoon and either a pint or mixing glass. The comfort of your stirring spoon between your fingers is very important, a smooth stir will develop from comfort. A pint glass is a classic tool to stir in and fits perfectly with a Julip strainer but there are so many beautiful Cocktail Mixing Glasses being made that you might want to consider splurging on one if you like stirred cocktails. I love using a Weck Jar because you can fit 3 or 4 cocktails in 1 stir. There are so many great options for each of these tools so happy diving!

A Juicer is also great to have, or you can get by like me with a blender and some cheese cloth to “press” your own juice. This is not only great for cocktails but also fresh juices in the morning.

Just make sure you have the containers and refrigerator space for all your juices. Much like in the film Meet the Parents, “if you can make it liquid, you can make a cocktail out of it!” Fresh ingredients are always best, and you can even use what’s left over to minimize waste. So, if I juice some ginger root, I’ll take what is discarded from the juice, spread it on a baking sheet to dry then blend with salt to make a ginger flavored salt rim on my next margarita.

The number one source and authority on bartending, on premise & beyond.

The glassware of your home bar can also be influenced by your favorite cocktail or however you like your spirit. Be it on the “rocks” in a lowball or rocks glass, with soda in a highball glass, or chilled without ice in a martini or coupe. The point being that your glassware changes the experience and the type of cocktail that you are enjoying at home. Personally, I truly love a Nick & Nora style glass, the elegance, the stem, the frost that can accumulate, it all feels just right to me. Not to mention that the reason for a stem on a glass is so that your natural body temperature coming off your fingers won’t affect how cold the liquid is inside the glass. I would suggest buying glassware based on your favorite styles of cocktails, 4 of each of those and then 2 of each of the other styles mentioned in case a guest would like a specific cocktail!

Finally, an often-overlooked aspect of your home bar is ice.

You would think that all ice is the same, but I have learned that different sized ice can revolutionize your drinking experience, and not just for cocktails, but in all drinks! I suggest indulging your home bar with special ice molds. 1” x 1” ice cubes are the standard at most cocktail bars and if you enjoy your spirit or cocktail on the “rocks” I highly recommend getting the larger 2” x 2” ice cube molds or even the sphere molds.

When sipping on a night cap or a neat pour of your favorite scotch or tequila, a big ice cube (2x2) is great because it won’t melt as quickly as smaller cubes. Same goes for shaking a cocktail, using a large ice cube over smaller ones as well as how many you have in your shaker will affect how frothy your cocktail will be once poured out.

Of course, “regular ice” from your freezer will work for sharing drinks and highballs but I would suggest adding a few molds to your home bar as well.

I will leave you with one last piece of home bar building advice, indulge in your curiosity. Alcohol has been around a lot longer than any of us, many trails have been forged on your behalf. Along the way have fun, stay hydrated and do what makes you happy. And of course, as always, make sure to drink responsibly.

AWARDWINNING SPIRIT BRAND

P

enelope Bourbon is a brand that was crafted in the classic entrepreneurial tradition. Mike Paladini and his wife, Kerry teamed up with his close friend and childhood next door neighbor, Danny Polise and together they embarked on creating a bourbon that everyone could enjoy and love.

Both Mike and Danny found out in 2018 that their wives were expecting.

Mike and Kerry always knew that if they had a girl, her name would be Penelope. The day they found out they were having a girl, a light bulb went off.

Mike and Kerry decided they wanted to bring together two things they both love so dearly – their soon-to-be baby girl, Penelope and straight bourbon whiskey. And so Penelope Bourbon (and soon Penelope herself ) was born.

Aom Lee, who has been at the W for almost three years, has worked and managed some of the top bars and restaurants in the Bay Area, including 25 Lusk, La Mar Cebichería Peruana, Hakkasan, and Ozone Thai (where she won “Best Mixologist” in 2011 from the city’s influential 7x7 Magazine). In 2016, she decided to move into the hotel industry and became food and beverage outlets manager at San Francisco’s iconic Hotel Nikko, before moving to the W Hotel two years later.

Aom’s professional career didn’t start in the hospitality industry though. In her native Thailand she was a TV news anchor for several years, before she decided in 2007 to move to the U.S. She began working in the service industry – and quickly established herself as a young bartender to watch – while studying for her master’s degree in International Business.

Her signature drink, The Knight Watch #1, was awarded “Best in North America” in the All Marriott hotel competition.

“What I love about this cocktail,” Aom says, “is that it’s well balanced between the smokiness from the mezcal, smoked maple wood, the touch with passion fruit, and the spices from glogg. It’s a fun, unique, and delightful drink!”

She would spend all her spare time reading books and daydreaming about journeys to unknown countries.

After finishing school her curiosity pushed her to move to Cluj city and study “Tourism Geography”, and it was during this time that she started working in the hospitality industry.

RTD

STEWART’S SPIKED SELTZER BRINGS CLASSIC AMERICAN FLAVORS TO A NEW GENERATION

BY GREG COHEN

A

s consumers thirst for hard seltzers and other ready-to-drink products continues to explode – the RTD category has now surpassed total spirits volume in the U.S. according to IWSR Drinks Market Analysis – it’s little surprise that a number of familiar brands, many of which new to beverage alcohol, have thrown their cans into the ring.

Established brands like Topo Chico and Zing Zang mixers have recently announced new RTDs, Snapple markets a spiked line in Canada, and speculation continues that we’ll soon see a hard seltzer from Monster Beverage Corp.

And now the latest to launch a new product for grown-ups is Stewart’s Spiked Seltzer, inspired by the popular line of all-American Stewart’s sodas.

“People trust the Stewart’s name.

It’s nostalgic, it’s iconic, and it draws immediate attention,” says Peter Strahm, CEO of Stewart’s Enterprises, Inc, which owns the license to produce alcoholic beverages under the Stewart’s name.

Stewart’s traces its history back to 1924 in Mansfield, Ohio, when Frank Stewart created one of the first and only licorice-based root beer recipes in the U.S. The Stewart’s soda line then grew to include about a dozen bottled

At 5% ABV, each 12 oz. slim can of Stewart’s Spiked Seltzer is 100 calories, gluten-free, and contains 1g of sugar and 1g of carbohydrates. and fountain craft sodas, from root beer to cream soda to cola. Fast forward to today, Strahm says Stewarts is bringing those classic American flavors to a new generation with the introduction of Stewart’s Spiked Seltzer. The launch will initially include four products, led by the brand’s famous Root Beer (the exact taste profile of the soda, Strahm promises), along with Orange Cream, Black Cherry, and Raspberry Lime.

Stewart’s Spiked began rolling out (and quickly selling out in some markets) in February in the Northeast, where Stewart’s soda is particularly strong. Additional U.S., and possibly international, markets will follow.

Strahm says that while his team has

so far focused primarily on off-premise channels, the brand has definite plans to make a push into on-premise as bars and restaurants continue to re-open.

At 5% ABV, each 12 oz. slim can of Stewart’s Spiked Seltzer is 100 calories, gluten-free, and contains 1g of sugar and 1g of carbohydrates.

“At the heart of Stewart’s is the American dream – freedom, family, fun, and opportunity,” adds Strahm, whose career in the beverage industry includes leadership roles at Red Bull, Snapple, Jones Soda Company, and PepsiCo. “Our goal with Stewart’s Spiked Seltzer is to bring back the ‘good life’ with a classic taste of Americana, made modern as a hard seltzer.”

premier East Bay brewery decorated with 45 medals awarded from top national and regional beer competitions (2015 - 2020), Gilman Brewing Company keeps its eye on the long-game with expansion plans set for spring 2021. Gilman Brewing’s flagship production brewery and taproom in West Berkeley immediately increased its footprint to 13,800 square feet (an expansion of 5,000 square feet) while the official opening of their third location in downtown Pleasanton (706 Main Street) is set for March 2021. With outdoor dining now approved in San Mateo County, the brewery’s Daly City taproom (2001 Junipero Serra Blvd) re-opens with a newly designed outdoor seating area in addition to its indoor restaurant (Gilman is the sole craft brewery to open a taproom/restaurant in Daly City).

Residing on Berkeley’s thoroughfare Gilman Street since 2015, Gilman

Brewing has carved out a niche for themselves amid the crowded Northern California beer scene with its handcrafted rustic farmhouse ales, saisons, and massively hopped IPAs being among their most awardwinning beers. Sean Wells (Owner/ Brewmaster/Builder, Gilman Brewing), added 2,000 square feet of outdoor seating as well as 3,000 square feet of additional indoor space at his West Berkeley locale to bolster health and safety protocols to better accommodate their dedicated patrons.

Heated and covered outdoor tents will be utilized with a new menu debuting in spring 2021 that features an array of artisanal fries, wings, and chicken & waffles. Larger indoor capacity offers enhanced social distancing, and a new remodeled private event space in the barrel room available for bookings in late 2021.

Gilman will further serve appetizers such as handmade pretzels, beer cheese, and other small bites. The 900 square feet outdoor patio is a signature of the Pleasanton location with its high trestles full of string lights destined for unforgettable beer and culinary experiences.
