The Dark Ages of Mixology, 1967-1988

The years between the death of Tiki and the revival of the cocktail that began when Dale DeGroff donned his red jacket and stepped behind the bar at the Rainbow Room in New York are widely considered to be the Dark Ages of mixology, when second-rate ingredients were mixed according to unbalanced, unappealing formulas and given dumb names. At the same time, the period saw an impressive burst of creativity behind the bar. Dozens of new drinks achieved national and even global popularity. For the first time in generations, whole new categories of drinks were invented and populated. Unfortunately, most of those drinks, well, sucked. But behind all those smutty-named shooters and sickly-sweet disco drinks lay a spirit of inventiveness that laid the foundation for the renaissance that was to come. Join acclaimed cocktail historians David Wondrich and Jeff Berry as--with their customary welter of offbeat anecdotes, skewed axioms and deep (if perhaps misguided) commitment to historical accuracy--they trace a path through this culinary minefield. Will there be drinks? Yes. Will they suck? Not all of them.

The Pineapple: A Symbol of Hospitality

The pineapple has a long and rich history, in fact somewhere along the line it even found it’s way to becoming the unofficial symbol of hospitality. But how much do we actually know about pineapples?

Join your hosts Dean Callan and Charlotte Voisey as we dive head first into the wonderful, wild, colorful and tasty world of the not so humble Pineapple. From it’s historical rise to the top of the social food chain, to it’s cultural demise at the hands of the canned food industry, we will taste our way through some of the most broadly influential drinks ever created as well as some gems that need to be shared more often.

Whether you are a Bartender, Chef, Consumer, Blogger, Cocktalian, Chef de Bar, Brandtender, Mixologist, Drinksnobologist, beverage dispensologist or plain old boozer we guarantee you will never look at a pineapple in the same way again.

7 Habits of the World's Best Bars

In a world where great cocktails are a given, how do the truly great bars stand out from the crowd? What are the characteristics common to the world’s best bars, and what lessons can we learn from them? In a globalized world, where ideas spread like wildfire, how does a great bar stay ahead and keep improving? What design elements are common to the best bars in the world (hint: it’s not the toilets) and how would top bartenders design their spaces differently, given a chance? What are the secrets of recruiting and training the world’s best bar team, writing the most effective menus and promoting your work in the most effective way? And the biggest challenge of all, how do the best bars avoid resting on their laurels?

Although each of the best bars in the world is unique in its own way, all share similar values about how to create a unique experience for guests, how to create a great bar team (and keep them) and how to stay in business and on top of their game.

Join Jacob Briars, who has sat in front of the best bars, Ian McLaren, who has trained many of the world’s best bartenders, and celebrated bar owners Jim Meehan (PDT – NYC) and Benjamin Padron Novoa (Limontaur – Mexico City) who run two of the world’s best bars, for a session no aspiring bar owner or bartender should miss.

Sugar, the Good, Bad and the Ugly

‘Is a spoonful of sugar really as bad for you as puff of a cigarette? New research would have you believe that Mary Poppins wasn’t trying to make housework fun, but subliminally advertising one of the most highly addictive substances in the world. Forget cocaine or heroin, sugar is being touted as the stealth killer invading our bodies, clogging up our arteries, and generally being evil.

But are we overacting? Isn’t sugar an important part of a balanced diet and most importantly, a balanced drink? Will the Piña Colada have to come with a government health warning or will we have to adapt recipes to respect future ‘responsible sweetening’ regulations?

Crucially, if our cocktails are put on diets, will they also become a lot less fun to hang out with?
Join Claire Smith-Warner, as we dive into the great big sugar debate with expert panelists Jeffrey Kluger (Science editor, Times Magazine ), Nick van Tiel and health & wellness expert Georgia van Tiel to reveal the bittersweet future of cocktails, with examples of the good, the bad and ugly side of alternative sugars.

Let Gin Open Your Mind

For the attention of odd ladies & fine fellows:

Most of us have sat at a bar and enjoyed a craft cocktail, in Mexico City or beyond, but have we really made the most of that moment. Have we let the rhythm rock us, the motion guide us, the aromas tickle our nose and the music move us? Have we seen things that generally go unseen? Do the rewarding moments of an after work cocktail at dusk impact us in the same way as a magical midnight martini might? Do our co pleasure seekers in the bar release their hopes and dreams into our glass? Is the bartender conducting a symphony of experience right in front us just without philharmonics?

These quandaries and much more will be answered by the stewards of Hendrick’s Gin, Mexico’s own Joseph Mortera, the eagle Jim Ryan and globetrotting Ambassador to the planet David Piper.

Join us to learn more about gin, the cocktails that still give gin butterflies, bar technique, small talk, botanicals and bar flies, copper pot stills, historical chit chat and the art of being a more inspired bartender.

If you prefer a hum drum path through life, this may not be the seminar for you.

New Techniques in the Bar, How to Use Them in your Bar Program

New cocktail techniques are driven by the desire to have complete control over the flavor, texture, temperature, and dilution of the drinks we make. The key to using these techniques well is to understand when and why to use them, how they work, and how they fit into a traditional bar program. We will look at several techniques through the lens of Olmeca Altos, and see how they let us highlight the spirit and the other ingredients to best advantage:

Acid Correction –how to adjust the acidity of juices so they can be used in a cocktail the same way as lime and lemon juice. WE will make acid adjusted OJ and Grapefruit juice.
Milk Washing –how to remove astringency and soften flavors while producing a fantastic texture. We will show how to make a cocktail with hibiscus in a new way.
Carbonation –how to clarify juices and carbonate to get the best possible results.
Justino –Blending fruits and spirits in a blender then spinning them in a centrifuge creates a marriage of flavors possible no other way, allowing you to deliver flavors that are unique to your bar program.
Liquid Nitrogen –Why to use it, and what to stay away from.
Nitro Muddling –How to make the brightest, freshest, and most vibrant herb cocktails.
