Spice Up Your Cocktails In days gone by drinks were bland and boring.

Enter the Bloody Mary.

Add a few drops of Tabasco sauce, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of cracked black pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon. This will bring simple tomato juice to life.

(For the real kick, try adding pepper infused vodka)

Sugar Syrup How the pro’s make it Take 1 ltr of water and simmer on the hob (not vigorously boiling), add 2kg of white sugar in small amounts to the simmering water. Stir to make sure it is dissolved before adding more.

Once all the sugar is in and dissolved, it should be a lot thicker than water.

Fine strain through a tea strainer to remove any potentially un-dissolved sugar (as this will crystallize and spread) and leave to cool down.

This will keep for a long time. Try making it with a vanilla pod in it, rose petals or lavender to create great tasting and unique sugar syrups.

A must have when stocking your cocktail cabinet. +44 (0) 78 555 61896

The difference b Flair and M

20

between Mixology

Two words associated with bartending but what do they mean? Well let us shine a light on the subject. Flair refers to how Tom Cruise performed and served as a bartender in the film Cocktail. Throwing and catching bottles while serving.

Mixology refers to a cocktail bartender skilled in the craft of making cocktails, knowledgeable in spirits, ratios and ingredients to create fantastic drinks.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all our past clients who have helped make the BFN hugely successful, taking our services all over the country, meeting lots of fantastic people and companies.

If we haven't served you in the past, then I look forward to having us serve you in the future and help make your next event the best you’ve ever had.

I’d also like to remind you that we have started up or nationwide cocktail masterclasses. In the masterclasses we take you through the skills needed to create fantastic drinks in a very hands on and interactive way, and ultimately you drink your creations. We’ve had countless happy customers coming to our masterclass and leaving with the skills to impress at their next house party. I look forward to seeing you there and freeing your inner bartender.

So this is just a quick how you doing, and a big thank you for taking an interest in BFN Productions. I look forward to seeing you at one of our events, and don't forget to sign up to hear when they are coming up at www.BFNproductions.com
