Tonight @SuntoryWhiskey launched its latest release - Toki - a light whiskey with a gorgeous blend of chita, hakushu, and yamazaki whiskies. For less that $40 the price is right: it mixes well and is mighty fine neat.

Barbacks: the Unsung Heroes of the Cocktail Movement

You may not know their names or see their faces in magazines, but barbacks are essential members of any bar's team—and their job is far from easy.

'Fermented drinks are alive. They pass from youth to old age. When they reach maturity, they can destroy the Spirit of Inhibition, the Spirit of Loneliness the Spirit of Fear, the Spirit of Anxiety. But if you drink too much of them, they rebel and usher in the Spirit of Defeat and Aggression. It's all a matter of knowing when to stop.'  We drink and celebrate.

Brandy Alexander

I’m surprised I missed this sweet classic out. Maybe because I’m not a big fan of creamy cocktails. But definitely one of the best recipes ever made. A good reason why it’s in the classic list! Brandy Alexander is one of our best sellers here in our resort that’s how I’ve learned about it. It only consist 3 ingredients and it’s easy to make, quick! grab your favorite shaker and let’s make it!

behind the bar

Chill your coupe/martini glass first. In a shaker pour in 90 ml cognac or brandy, I prefer Hennessy V.S then pour in 45 ml de kuyper creme de cacao and 45 ml fresh cream. This cocktail needs a really really really good shaking. So if you or your bartender doesn’t have enough monkey grease to pull that off, forget it! Might as well order a pint of beer or a dram of whiskey on the rocks.

Alright, so empty your chilled glass and pour the mixture. Grind a piece of nutmeg or a cinnamon stick for garnish. There you go! You have yourself a Brandy Alexander, salute;)
