Bar Magazine - Thinking About the Drinking 1 Bar Magazine - Thinking About the Drinking 2 Wie bist Du zum Bartending gekommen? Ich bin in einem Landgasthof in Niedersachsen aufgewachsen. Ein Wirtshaus. Meine Mutter und auch mein Vater sind/waren Wirte. Eine vielleicht simple Form des „Bartendings“. Aber es gibt viele Parallelen. Als „Wirt“, auf einer eher „volksnahen“ Stufe des Gastgeber, lernt man vieles, was man als Guter Bartender denke ich braucht. Ich bin Bartender geworden, weil es in meinen Augen die höchste Stufe des „Gast-Gebens“ ermöglicht. Im Grunde meines Herzen bin ich Gastgeber mit Hang für Gute Getränke. Genauso gerne wäre ich Kellner in einem kleinem Haus. Bartending als Handwerk ist nur ein Teil. Kannst Du bitte kurz etwas über Dich schreiben - wo Du nach der Fachschule gearbeitet hast ?/ 1994 Abitur 1995  Ausbildung zum Kellner, - 1997 Commi de Bar Havana Lounge (Privater Cigaren Club) - 1997 Barchef ATLAS Restaurant und Bar 2000 Mitinhabe...

OMAR UP TO DATE "A box of chocolates underneath a bough, An ice creme cone, some lemonade, and thou Beside me singing in the wilderness Make prohibition Paradise enow" Anonymous A few days ago, Thierry Daniel an Eric Fossard brought a fantastic selection of french oysters to Le Lion. While tasting an outstanding selection of this Oysters, they both told me about a very special book. As far a I know the first ever published drinks book only about non alcoholic drinks. Ladies and Gentleman, Bertha Stockbridge, the Jerry Thomas of the „Nonalcoholic drink“ What to drink; the blue book of beverages; recipes and directions for making and serving non-alcoholic drinks for all occasions (1920), by Bertha E.L.Stockbridge. To make a long story short:“Great Book, Great Book , Great Book ...“. Its about homemade syrups, fruit vinegars and shrubs. And it is like reading an old classic cocktail book. Exact measures, lots of eggs. cocktails, highballs, fizzes, cobblers, sour...

Sven Sudeck Sven Sudeck made his passion his new job. Deeply in love with Puro de Agave Tequila he started working at BORCO MARKENIMPORT Hamburg as the new German Brand Ambassador for Sierra 100% Agave Tequila Sierra Milenario.

Looks like Germany is following the international Brand Ambassador System. http://www.milenario.de/ Capri Lounge Cologne, Volker Seibert. To me, this is one of the most unknown, maybe most under ratted bars in germany. Volker and his Team are doing a fantastic job in Capri Lounge Cologne. As Thierry and Eric from Paris Barshow Cocktail and Spirit called me at the End of last Year to ask "Which german bar should present at Bar Show Paris this Year" my answer was "One of the coolest Underdogs in Germany: Capri Lounge". Now its official. So DO NOT MISS Cocktail ...

Ten years after Petraske opend Milk & Honey he still is one of the most creative persons in our industry - to me. Love the Bar Love the ICE Style Dutch Kills open in April 2009 in NY.
