The Life of Bart...

Many says that dogs is man's best friend... well its true.. But imagine if dogs does not exist???
For people who loves to drink bartenders are their best friend.. Imagine the life of a bar or clubs without those talented bartenders that mix their favorite drinks...
Inside the bar, music pulsates and sweaty bodies rub against one another. The drinks flows as the dancing grows wilder and the patron get rowdier. But while bar goers pound drinks after another they often forget how those drinks get into their hands. Bar tenderes often stands for conuntless hours, shaking, mixing and pouring drinks to keep customers happily drunk but the job can sometimes be both dirty and thankless...
Keeping the drinks flowing and the customers happy on busy nights is a vital part of the bartending experience. Memorization is key to this job as the fast paced occupation offers little opportunity to spend time taking and remembering orders.

Bartending 101

The Person behind your favorite drinks

Drinking is not about getting drunk, it is about enjoying it. This philosophy works behind the relatively lesser thought to the profession of Bar and Beverage management.

How many of you know the difference between Scotch Whisky and Bourbon Whisky? Or, for that matter, the different styles of drinking? As a bartender you would know all this and much more about making others enjoy their drink.

Bartending is an interesting career option, with no demands on you except perhaps a dash of passion, stirred in fun and then served on a rich bed of currency.

"One could choose bartending as a long-term career or just take it up as a part time job. All you need is interest in the job. The rest will be taken care of. Today, the beverage industry has undergone a drastic change over the past five years. This change has not just been in the field of beverage marketing but also in bars and pubs mushrooming and consumer concept changing to a great extent.

History of the Vanilla

History of the Vanilla...

ABSOLUT have a new member to their family and it's delicious. Absolut Vanilla, a different kind of vanilla.Since the launch of Absolut Citron back in 1988, the flavoured vodka segment has grow substantially. In a response to public demand, Bengt Baron, president of The Absolut Company has announced the international launch of Absolut Vanilia."

Absolut flavours are exceptional in terms of their depth and complexity, and they work equally well enjoyed very simply, such as with soda, or as a base for more sophisticated cocktails", said Lara Neville, Brand Manager of Australia.It took a whole year of careful blending to develop the taste and, as with all Absolut flavours, it is made from all natural ingredients and contains no sugar. Absolut Vanilia has a rich, complex taste of vanilla with notes of butterscotch and hints of dark chocolate."For this project we initially had three important criteria that needed to be fulfilled: the flavour should be a good compliment to the rest of the Absolut family, it should be a flavour that is well known to the consumer, and it should have a long lifespan. The focus landed on vanilla quite early in the process since it had all of these qualities: it is a flavour that most people already have a relationship with.

However, Absolut Vanilia is a different kind of vanilla - more adult and robust than what people might expect", explains Eva Kempe-Forsberg, VP Marketing.The personality of an Absolut flavour can always be identified in its bottle and its name. For Absolut Vanilia the packaging is all white. "The white bottle is inspired by the purity of the vanilla flavour and reflects a taste that has not been mixed with other flavours or spices," says Kempe-Forsberg and continues: "The name of the product always plays an important part of the puzzle when creating a new product. It's like naming a person. With Absolut Vanilia the flavour is very straightforward but it still has a depth with its rich and distinct character dominated by vanilla."Suitable to drink on the rocks and works perfect as a mixer.

Try it with Ginger Ale and a dash of fresh limejuice. Or simply with Cola as the rich vanilla taste of Absolut Vanilia makes it perfect to mix for a refreshing long drink.Other Absolut flavours are: Absolut Citron (1988), Absolut Kurant (1992), Absolut Mandrin (1999).Coinciding with the launch of Absolut Vanilia in Australia this October, a selection of leading bars in key capital cities have developed a special series of cocktails which will be available throughout the month and beyond.

Absolut Ruby Red

Absolut Ruby Red...

When faced with sweltering heat — as Calgarians have been as of late — the after-work cocktail is more important than ever. And the best way to help quench that thirst that’s been building since those mexi-fries you had for lunch is to add some citrus. Enter the latest offering from the makers of Absolut vodka: Absolut Ruby Red, Alberta’s only grapefruit-flavoured vodka. • • • • •

THE TASTE Flavoured vodka is nothing new. In fact, looking at the mountain of fused spirits on the shelves of the local liquor store can be quite intimidating. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Manufacturers would not be continuing to make them if they weren’t popular, so adding some zip can be good. • • • • • WHAT TO EXPECT: Easy to mix, smooth, fruity and delicious — the distinct character of ripe grapefruits will provide a unique foundation for new signature cocktails. Ruby Red will add a unique twist to any classic cocktail and will give classic grapefruit drinks like Sea Breeze and Greyhound a full-bodied flair.
