He grew up in a family where food and drink were the heart of the household. To develop his passion for food, he began his career training as a chef, but missed the personal interaction with customers. We will hear Ryan Chetiyarwardana tell about opening his first bar, White Lyan, in London in 2013 as the first cocktail bar in the world to use no perishables, like fruit and even no ice, and how this led him to the center stage of the cocktail world.

You asked for it, and you got it - all of you kind people who filled out my survey asked for more interviews with more legends. Our guest is the world's most-awarded bartender & bar owner. If Mr Lyan isn't a legend, I don't know who is.If you call yourself a cocktail connoisseur, then you will have come upon the name Mr Lyan in your travels. Ryan Chetiyawardana, aka Mr Lyan opened White Lyan in London in 2013. It was a moment that will go down in cocktail history as the first cocktail bar in the world to use no perishables, no fruit, and even no ice, an innovative approach to sustainability, with much lower waste and a use of pre-made cocktails and never before seen ingredients. This focus on a ground-breaking approach remains in the evolution of White Lyan, Super Lyan, Dandelyan, Cub, Lyaness, Silver Lyan, and Seed Library.Ryan's with me to discuss his new book, Mr Lyan's Cocktails at Home: Good Things to Drink with Friends, but we go into so much more - How his relationship to flavor evolved, how his studying Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins as well as Biology at Edinburgh University spurred him on to get behind the bar, and why the need to write a book at all.You have no idea how excited I am to finally have Ryan on the show!Before we begin, you can always watch this episode on Youtube, plus all the other Lush Life episodes as well as a whole lot more; just head to youtube.com/@lushlifemanualThe cocktail of the week is Ryan's Barlay Champagne!INGREDIENTS 4 shots (100ml/4oz) water6 shots (150ml/6oz) lemon barley water cordial8 shots (200ml/8oz) fino sherry or dry vermouth12 shots (300ml/12oz) London dry gin10 dashes TabascoRosemary sprigs, to garnishMETHODAdd the water, cordial, sherry or vermouth, and gin to a jug, then add the Tabasco Stir and then decant into a clean wine bottle and chill wellTo serve, add a shot and a half (40ml/1.5oz) of the chilled mixture to a flute, then top with bubbles. Add a sprig of rosemary and serveThe Magic is that “you can make lemon barley cordial at home (it's a very old-fashioned British cordial of pearl barley and lemon), but this recipe works great with any store-bought cordial that brings sweetness and acidity. Elderflower, blackcurrant, or even more regional ones such as redcurrant or gooseberry also work-although there's a richness to the barley addition that works wonderfully. Tabasco adds a background heat, but try adding other accent spices such as gochujang or sriracha - just sieve it after mixing to remove any particulates, as they will interfere with the fizz. Plus, you just want a hint of fruity warmth. else you'll throw the balance of the drink.”You'll find this recipe, more Champagne cocktail recipes, and all the cocktails of the week at alushlifemanual.com, where you'll find some of the ingredients in our shop.Full Episode Details: https://alushlifemanual.com/cocktails-at-home-with-ryan-chetiyawardana-----Become a supporter of A Lush Life Manual for as little as $5 - all you have to do is go to patreon.com/lushlifeLush Life Merchandise is here - we're talking t-shirts, mugs, iPhone covers, duvet covers, iPad covers, and more covers for everything!

Ryan Chetiyawardana, also known as Mr. Lyan, is one of the bar world's true visionaries. He opened his first bar, White Lyan, in 2013 and the venue immediately achieved its intended purpose. Beyond being an award-winning bar and one of London's best places to grab a drink, White Lyan started a much-needed conversation about sustainability in the industry. Dandelyan, Lyaness, Super Lyan, Cub, and Silver Lyan would follow shortly after, making an even bigger splash not only in London but also Amsterdam and Washington, DC. All Mr. Lyan venues, while showcasing incredible innovation, accomplish something just as important: each bar is a place people to want to spend their time and money, and where professionals want to work. During this fantastic conversation, Ryan shares insights into the menu programming processes at each venue; discusses seasonality; provides a look into hiring and engaging each team; the reissue of his book and his foray into the RTD cocktail space; and much more.

Today I'm talking to Ryan Chetiyawardana. You may have heard of him. The London-based bartender and creative is behind the Mr Lyan group of venues, which began in 2013 with White Lyan in Hoxton — he closed that in 2017 to launch two venues in its place: Cub, and Super Lyan. In 2014 he launched Dandelyan in London — before killing that venue in 2019 to relaunch as Lyaness, one of my favourite bars in the world. He moved Super Lyan to Amsterdam in 2019, and launched Silver Lyan in the US in Washington DC in 2020 just before the pandemic arrived.He's known for his creativity and an approach to bars and drinks that asks, why do we do it this way? And many of the trends we see around the world in bars today have taken at least some inspiration from his experiments with White Lyan and Dandelyan some years ago.

The bar was ranked #2 by the World’s 50 Best Bars, in 2016.   In February 2017 he decided it was time to get out of his comfort zone and take the journey across the world to Korea, joining the Four Seasons Hotel & Resorts in Seoul with a special focus in Charles H., the destination bar within the property, inspired by globetrotter Charles H. Baker Jr.   During his tenancy at Charles H. has been ranked #14 in Asia 50 Best Bars and #64 in World’s Best Bars 2018.   On February 2019, Lorenzo was appointed Beverage Ambassador for Four Seasons Hotel and Resorts APAC and Beverage Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, where he overlooks the beverage program for the property, with a major focus on Caprice Bar, newly nominated #34 Asia 50 Best Bars 2020.   Enjoy!   Contact info & Resources: Insta: lorenzoantinori_ Handpicked article in Luxe Living Asia       *****   Before we get started I wanted to talk first about Patreon and how you can be a part of the podcast.    Patreon is a platform where you can support the podcast with a small monthly donation.

In recent weeks we’ve had the opportunity to sit down with some exciting guests for special events and interviews, and this week is no different. First, we’re finally giving some much-deserved attention to the world of shochu this week. Better yet, we were able to round up an amazing group of bartenders, mixologists and all-around beverage specialists that have been resetting the standards for quality and innovation in some of the world’s most recognized and lauded drinking and dining establishments across New York, London and Sydney. For those following the cocktail scene, everyone on the show this week likely needs little-to-no introduction.   We’re joined by Thomas Waugh, bartender and director of bar operations for Major Food Group in New York, overseeing establishments such as Dirty French, ZZ’s Clam Bar, The Pool Lounge, and others; as well as heading up the bar operations at Karasu, the izakaya-style Japanese restaurant and cocktail bar. We also welcome Mike Enright, owner and bartender at Sydney’s famous gin bar, The Barber Shop, often popping up on many Most Influential Bar and Bartender lists, both in Australia, as well is internationally. He’s even taken his mastery of gin to a new level with a line of gin-infused/inspired grooming products – a rather perfect pairing for a Barber Shop. Then we have Ryan Chetiyawardana, likely better known to everyone as Mr. Lyan. He’s the man responsible for White Lyan in London, the cocktail bar that shook up the industry when it opened in 2013, as well as Dandelyan, voted World’s Best Bar 2018, Cub, and Super Lyan. He might very well be one of the busiest men in the business. And last but certainly not least, we have Matthew Hunter, head bartender at the renowned Eleven Madison Park, ranked best restaurant in the world at 2017’s World’s 50 Best Restaurant awards.   A huge thanks to these gentlemen who were kind enough to join us for a quick chat, and a shochu tasting, following a whirlwind week-long journey throughout Kyushu, Japan’s southern island and motherland of shochu.   And, to top things off, for the second segment we travel to France to get our sake fix! Or shall a say, France comes to us! Right after successfully wrapping up another Salon Du Sake in Paris, Sake Samurai and organizer of France’s largest celebration of all-things-sake, Mr. Sylvain Huet, popped in to chat with us during his recent visit to Japan, where he was also organizing the first annual CMB-hosted Sake Selection awards in Mie Prefecture. We catch with Sylvain on what he’s been up to, the evolution of Salon du Sake, and what he’s excited about with regards to sake in Paris.   Sebastien and Justin guide you on this densely packed episode that traverses the globe, as well as bridges the worlds of sake and shochu.
