This is HOW to handle ICE BLOCKS Rock'n Roll Cowboy Style... Well Done. TOTC Vancouver seems to be a cool one ...damn I miss it! Video by Mr. Padovani. Looking forward to get the Hendricks Chainsaw for Bartenders... (Victorian Look for sure!)

As in the Part I of this Article mentioned, me and Mr. Padovani had a splendid time at the very well set up first Belgium Bar Show Venuez. In our talk about the Lost Art of Bathrobe Drinking, we first talked about tomato juice Drinks and came finally up with the WHITE SNAPPER. But, as we all know, next to this pick me up drinks, a delightful Gin Fizz is one of the greatest drinks to come back to life quick in the morning, recovering from a hard hangover. So, doing my homework on Gin Fizzes, most on the Ramos Gin Fizz, I discovered two very important Details I missed till yet. Missed Detail No. 1 First of all, I discovered the most beautiful poem about the joy of enjoying a Fizz in Mr. Wondrichs Books Imbibe: Ernest P. Rawling: 1914 Rawlings Book of Mixed Drinks  "While the Cocktail is unquestionably the most popular drink on the  Pacific coast today, the next in favor is the FIZZ! The long drink par excellence.  At any time or in any place where the ton...

This year, I attended the first Belgium Barshow - Venuez Hospitality and Style .  And, to make a long story short: I enjoyed being a part of this show. It's maybe like being in a bar. The small once I always fall in love with. Xavier Padovani asks me, if I like to join him for the Stage and I was in to do a talk about Gin. After some research, we came up with the Theme: The lost Art of Bathrobe Drinking. Finally, something all true Gentleman should start at one point in life. And, most times you are in the need for a Bathrobe drink, you may just recover from the night before. So, I suggested to talk about the Red Snapper - the nowadays famous version off the Bloody Mary, made with Gin instead of vodka. But, while doing my research on the Issue, I found out, that modern bartenders are wrong in calling a Bloody Mary with Gin a Red Snapper. One of the first tomato drinks mentioned in a printed book is the non alcoholic "Tomato Cocktail" THE TOMATO COCKTAIL from „Here‘...

Dear All,   I trust you are all very well. Do excuse the group email but yet I must share with you an interesting development...   While I am still very much working on Hendrick’s gin around the globe I have been quite busy in my spare time and I am very excited to share with you the big news: I am opening a cocktail bar in London in early December!   I have teamed up with three amazing partners to do so. They are Romée, Pierre-Charles, and Olivier, the French trio behind the Experimental Cocktail Club, Curio Parlor, and the Prescription Cocktail Club, three bars that have shaken up Parisian nights and revived the City of Lights.   The bar is located in London at the number 13 ofGerrard Street in the heart of China Town and will be known as the Experimental Cocktail Club, China Town or simply the ECC China Town. The concept is simple – unpretentious service, exquisite déco, the freshest ingredients marrying the finest spirits to offer exceptional cocktails, all mixed togethe...

Rumour goes the three owners of the Paris ECC are teaming up with a new partner( Xavier Padovani) to open a bar in London...rumour goes it is located in China Town...and rumour says it may open in December...And rumours say: I WILL BE THERE AND GET A DRINK!

   Photo courtesy of Xavier Padovani A long time ago I announced, that there is a "last Gentleman Bartender" called Angus Winchester. From today - the Traveling Mixologists are proud to have a "royal" bartender as well! "SIR" Xavier Padovani prepared today the famous GIN HOT PUNCH for HRH Prince Charles. Prince Charles had his first Hendricks Gin ever and he let "SIR" Xavier know - that he likes his Gin Martini with a twist of lime. Some say , Buckingham Palace started ordering a crate of cucumbers today...
