BACARDI LEGACY COCKTAIL COMPETITION 2009

Congratulations to John O Rielly from the Apartment Bar in Belfast on winning the Bacardi Legacy Cocktail Competition 2009. John will now go on to represent Ireland at the Final in London on Feb 4th 2010.

Mixo-logic's Paul Lambert was one of the judges travelling around the country judging the 10 finalists along with Alan Kavanagh. The finalists had to make a classic daiquiri and their own creation, explaining their inspiration behind the recipe.

'Johns recipe was delicious. His whole thought process behind it was first class, taking in Don Facundo's origins in Spain to his Cuban heritage and producing a really outstanding drink which is simple for you or me to make. This for me is what makes a great cocktail. Simplicity!!!' :-

MIXO-LOGIC IN D.I.T.

Mixo-logic's Paul Lambert spent a few hours with the bar students at Dublin Institute of Technology last Monday talking to them about the evolution of the rum cocktail and the impact that Bacardi had on rum cocktails and how they were made.

' Its always great when you get to talk to bar students. I personally feel that these guys/gals are the future of bartending and to be able to give them the advantage of learning about different products/cocktails, before they get in behind a bar full time, is something I didnt have an opportunity to take part in when I was training and I am proud to be given the opportunity to chat to these students.':-

COCKTAIL RECIPE

CROUCHING TIGER

This fresh zingy drink is one we make a lot in SABA. The herbal notes of the vodka are complemented by the sweetness of the kiwi and the sharpness of the lemon. I don't recommend pressed apple juice here as I think it is too sharp for this drink. Just use the pure apple juice.

35mls Zubrowka Bison grass vodka

1 kiwi

17.5mls fresh lemon juice

17.5mls sugar syrup

100mls Apple juice

Method:- Cut both the ends off the kiwi. Then peel the rest of the skin away from the flesh. Put the peeled kiwi into a boston glass and muddle. Add the Zubrowka,lemon and sugar, add some ice and shake hard. Pour the contents of the shaker into a tall glass and top with the apple juice. Garnish with an apple slice.(pic taken in SABA)

Bacardi Distillery Visit, Puerto Rico

In June, Mixo-logic's Paul Lambert was invited by Bacardi out to their distillery in Puerto Rico to learn how the rum is made and spend time with the Maestros de Ron. Several other top mixologists from around the world were also taken out there.

'It has been a fantastic trip, being able to see first hand how much dedication and passion goes into the production of Bacardi is amazing. They are as passionate about their rum today as Don Facundo Bacardi was in 1862.

I have met some fantastic people, from the other brand ambassadors around the world to those who produce the rum, like Jose Sanchez and Jose Gomez, and being able to share thoughts with these people is a rare and fantastic opportunity. I would like to thank Enrique Comas, David Cordoba and Jose Sanchez for their tireless work ethic and for spending the time with us to explain everything about Bacardi to us'

OXEGEN FESTIVAL 2009
