L'orario scelto non è un caso. Il claim di Fever-Tree recita infatti: “Se ¾ del tuo drink sono il mixer, assicurati di usare quello migliore”. Ed è per questo che il Brand invita gli italiani a festeggiare la ricorrenza con una serie di cocktail a base gin, miscelati con le proprie referenze di acque toniche.L'evento, su scala nazionale, potrà essere seguito in diretta sulla pagina Instagram di Fever-Tree grazie all'hashtag #WorldGinDay e al tag @fevertree_it che gli utenti potranno utilizzare al momento della condivisione dei contenuti sui social.Ambasciatore dell'iniziativa è Dry Milano, premiata pizzeria e cocktail bar in Via Solferino 33, a Milano. Sabato prossimo, eccezionalmente a partire dalle ore 18, il locale meneghino propone per l'occasione un'esclusiva drink list firmata dal bar manager Edris Al Malat. Tre i cocktail speciali in carta, al prezzo di 14 euro l'uno, realizzati con tre differenti gin e altrettante referenze della gamma Fever-Tree: Green Light (Hendrick's e cordiale al basilico e cetriolo mixati con la Refreshingly Light Tonic Water, fresca e leggera, a basso contenuto calorico); Mediterraneo (Portofino e Chartreuse Gialla miscelati con la Mediterranean Tonic Water, dai sapori mediterranei e aromatici); Turbo Paloma (Engine e sciroppo di salvia Verjus in combinazione con la Pink Grapefruit Soda, realizzata con vero succo di pompelmi rosa della Florida).

Il prossimo 10 giugno si celebra il World Gin Day, una festa dedicata a tutti gli appassionati del distillato che ogni anno viene ricordato il secondo sabato di giugno. Nato nel 2009 dallo scozzese Neil Houston, che aveva riunito i suoi amici per celebrare gin bevendolo assieme, l'evento è poi diventato di portata mondiale anche grazie alla collaborazione di Emma Stokes conosciuta online anche come Gin Monkey.Per celebrare al meglio il World Gin Day vi proponiamo alcuni cocktail proposti da Sabatini e Pallini per valorizzare i loro prodotti

In celebration of all things spirits and World Gin Day on June 10th, we have a special guest this week. We are joined by Alexander Stein, Founder of Monkey 47, to talk about a different type of distilled spirit; Gin.  While gin may be a bit outside of our typical coverage, Scott's first introduction to the spirits world was really through his discovery of this juniper-based spirit.  Stream this episode on your favorite podcast app and be sure to drop us a review while you're there.  We are thankful for everyone who has supported us.

Cheers,Scott and JakeBourbon Lens   About Alexander Stein: Alexander Stein is the creator of German gin brand Monkey 47.  Born into a family of distillers (Alex's father and grandfather were brandy producers) it seemed inevitable that he would find himself drawn to the spirits industry in one form or another. Not before however he tried his hand in the more corporate world of telecommunications, where he rose to a senior level at Nokia. It was while he was living and working in Detroit that his life path changed. He remembers a phone call in 2006 from a friend of his who recounted a story involving Max the egret monkey, Monty the RAF Wing Commander and a long lost gin recipe. It proved to be an exciting turning point. About Monkey 47 Gin: Through masterly distillation and maturing in traditional earthenware containers, the goodness of all 47 hand-picked ingredients is brought fully to bear. Admittedly, it appears somewhat eccentric to claim that a recipe for Gin has the power to unite great British traditions, with the spices of India, and the rich landscape of the Black Forest. And yet it is precisely this eccentricity that defines the enigmatic venturesome character of Montgomery Collins, from whom our Schwarzwald Dry Gin originates. Aficionados, bartenders and connoisseurs the world over have come to appreciate the incredible complexity and harmony of a gin, which has consistently been voted the No.1 Top Trending Gin brand in the World's Best Bars.  Monkey 47 is a batch distilled and handcrafted gin that fuses British traditions, the exoticism of India, and the purity and originality of the Black Forest with masterly craftmanship. A genuine Black Forest dry gin. Indeed, a good third of the ingredients for this special gin originate from the Black Forest, such as the spruce tips, lingonberries, elderflower, sloes and blackberry leaves, to name but a few. In total, 47 handpicked plant ingredients prepared in extremely soft spring water from the Black Forest lend Monkey 47 unrivaled complexity and quality. The pièce de résistance is a real Black Forest “secret weapon,” fresh lingonberries. Through masterly distillation and maturing in traditional earthenware containers, the goodness of all these ingredients is brought fully to bear. From the tranquil Black Forest valley, Monkey 47 has now embarked on its round-the-world trip and is currently available in over 100 countries on four continents. Aficionados, bartenders and connoisseurs the world over have come to appreciate the incredible complexity and harmony of a gin that has been invented as long as 60 years ago – mainly out of nothing more than a nostalgic yearning for England.  

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: Today Scott is touching on the subjects of affordability and COVID, often going hand-in-hand. As the cost of living continues to rise, new data from Food Banks Canada shows hunger and food insecurity have risen to unprecedented levels in our country. Has Hamilton Foodshare noticed any significant changes as part of the recent increasing food shortages/supply chain problems? Joanne Santucci, CEO of Hamilton Food Share, fills Scott in. In COVID news, there was a one two punch. First: Moderna announced it is coming out with an updated COVID-19 shot that it says boosts protection against the Omicron variant. Additionally, Ontario is staying course with removing the mask mandate on public transit and in hospitals. With those in mind, we look at what could/should be done moving forward regarding the updates, boosters and the policies around them with Dr. Ahmad Firas Khalid. Gas prices crossed $2.12 per litre in the Hammer the other day, and Canadians are feeling the weight on their monthly budgets. Amidst all this Canada is getting comparatively less for every barrel despite the oil prices rising worldwide. What gives? Scott asks Dan McTeague of Canadians for Affordable Energy. Scott also highlights the Something Else festival, World Gin Day, and Stranger Things season 4 launching Kate Bush back onto the charts! It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast.

And of course all the latest gin news. 

World Gin Day is the second Saturday of June each year. We will take this opportunity to dedicate an entire episode to Gin! It's the Bartender Journey Podcast No. 215!  Listen with the audio player on this page, or subscribe on iTunes,Android or Stitcher Radio. Use the hashtag #worldginday to tell the world what you are doing to celebrate Gin. This week on the podcast we talk with Tristan Stephenson, Bartender, Bar Owner & Author from England. He wrote among others, The Curious Bartender’s Gin Palace, which is an amazing resource for gin knowledge. Also, later in the show we’ll talk to the Frey’s who are producing wonderful Estate Grown Gins in Nevada. This is delishous stuff and so interesting that they are producing they are doing a grain to glass gin. Its rare for a gin maker to grow their own grain and distill and bottle it onsite. The Cocktail of the Week has to be the Martini since we are talking all about Gin! Martini’s are of course classically made with gin. Many consumers these drink vodka Martinis, in fact as a Bartender you can not assume one way or the other. Its best to determine first Gin or Vodka and then ask if there is a brand preference. Vermouth? If its good quality and fresh vermouth, its wonderful. On the other hand, if its not good quality and its been sitting in the well for 6 months, you can’t blame someone for requesting an extra-extra dry Martini, because it tastes terrible. Ganish? Olives are the default, but a lemon twist is awesome! An orange twist is great too, and is traditional. Bitters? Orange bitters are in the classic Martini recipe. Glasswear? Of course the glass should be chilled, but what shape glass? The giant “Steakhouse Martini Glass” has become what many consumers expect these days, but do we really want to give our guests so much alcohol all at once? The martini glasses are difficult for servers to transport when full, and are no good for guests at a stand up cocktail party. Plus the drink gets warm. Here’s how I made mine. 2 oz Frey Ranch Gin 1 oz Imbue Bittersweet Vermouth (from Oregon) 2 dashes Regan’s Orange Bitters No. 6 Stir with ice Stain into a chilled cocktail coup Express oils from a lemon twist into drink. Rub lemon twist on rim of glass. Drop twist into drink. Every time I get somebody trying to be clever at the bar and brings up “shaken not stirred” I always say “the reason James Bond ordered it ‘shaken not stirred’ is because that’s the EXCEPTION to the rule. It should really be stirred”. I was once served a Mantini in an airport bar that looked like a slurpy from 7-11. This guy shook that drink within an inch of its life! There was so much ice in the drink that it had more in common with a pina coloda than a martini. Some people will say shaking “brueses” the gin…I don’t know what the heck that means, BUT there should be no shards of ice in your Martini. Another point of interest with a Martini – are we stirring this drink with ice just to make it cold, or is there something else going on here? Well do an experiment…mix up a batch of Martinis with what ever proportions you like – with no ice. Put half in the freezer to chill for IDK lets say 2 hours. Save the other half…keep it covered at room temperature.   After the one in the freezer is super cold, take the room temperature one and stir it with ice in a mixing cup for a good 20 seconds or so. Now taste the 2 side by side. The one from the freezer is going to be cold, but HOT from alchol…its too strong! The stirred one should be velvetly and pleasant to drink. Its been chilled, but also diluted from the melting ice…you are adding water to the drink. It’s an interesting experiment, and I hope you’ll give it a try. It helped me understand the Martini a lot better. Speaking of experiments, we got lots of great feedback on last week’s lime juice experiment! Also on the sustainability in bars angle…and we thank David Eden-Sangwell from the Bartender HQ podcast for being our guest on that show and for bringing up the sustainability issue on his show. This is important stuff…to try to reduce waste behind the bar and lesson our environmental impact. David and his co-host Sam did an entire episode about it recently and are already planning another. I’ve been inspired by those guys to talk about it more and put it into practice at my bar. I even heard from a listener who is working on a brand new bar program and he told me that he now plans to look into efforts to incorporate sustainability into the new bar he is working on! Please help support the Bartender Journey Podcast by contributing to our Tip Cup Page! Next week on the Podcast we will keep the Gin conversation going! We’ll talk to the proprietor of Frey Ranch Gin.

Today we’ll be talking to Craig Schiedlo. He’s a Bartender and good friend from our USBG NY chapter. Next time on the Bartender Journey Podcast a lot more about the United States Bartender’s Guild James Menite, who is the vice president of our local USBG NY chapter. We’ll talk about some of the great benefits of joining and also about his job – bartending at the the iconic Plaza Hotel. Cocktail of the Week - from our guest on the show this week – Craig SchiedloThe Wind Tunnel: 2oz Cedar Ridge Rye 1/2 oz Marie Brizzard Anissete 3/4 oz Lemon Juice 3/4 oz Simple Syrup Orange Flower Water.Strain over a Collins glass garnished with a lemon wheel anise star and a spray of orange flower water. Book of the Week:The World of Spirits and Cocktails: The Ultimate Bar Book 2011by André Dominé Amazon Review:“This book thought me more than I imagined it would. It got me through some of those Customer interactions that I knew we're coming my way. It filled my brain up with facts and information that I would not have found elsewhere. Unfortunately, this book is out of print and its about $85 on Amazon! But maybe try The Bar Book, or The Complete Cocktail Manual: 285 Tips, Tricks, and Recipes Bar Institue: One Fair Wage Campaign According to com:“The restaurant industry is America’s fastest growing economic sector; it's also among it’s lowest paying. Tipped workers are paid a separate, lower minimum wage that starts at $2.13 an hour at the federal level — a rate that hasn’t changed since 1991.” “Although employers are legally required to “top off” a tipped worker’s pay when tips don’t add up to at least the minimum wage, enforcement is so lax and disorganized that wage theft has reached epidemic levels.”   One point that was brought up at Bar Institute was that many consumers are now interested in where their food (and beverage) was grown - was it organic, local, even how were the farm workers treated & paid enough? Maybe the conversation about “how are the restaurant workers treated and are they paid enough?” will open up. There is a well known shortage of good bartenders, so just please make sure you are getting paid what you are worth…obviously being a real asset to the establishment puts you in a good spot.
