COOLE SWAN LAUNCH

Mixo-logic worked with Scion Spirits Company on the launch of their new brand, Coole Swan Liquer which is a premium cream liquer. We advised on the 'Perfect serve' and Paul Lambert also created a signature cocktail for the launch party held in The National Art Gallery on Tues 7th March.(Recipe to follow)

When asked what he thought of the brand Paul had this to say, " It is an elegant drink, pure unadulterated bliss. It's almost a shame to make cocktails with it!!!! But it is very versatile and works well in numerous cocktails. With the finest ingredients used to produce it, I hope it will soon be a must have in every bar."

Coole Swan is being distributed by Richmond Marketing. 01-6233222

SABA WINS BAR AWARD

SABA Restaurant won Best Bar Team at the Theme Magazine Bar Awards, Irish Final, 2007 in Belfast yesterday. Representing SABA on the day was Bar Manager Paul Lambert. " I am delighted, especially for the guys behind the bar. They have put in a lot of hard work since we opened last September." SABA now heads to the bar show BAR '07 in London in June for the UK Final.

FALSE ADVERTISING

It has been brought to my attention that a certain 'demonstration bartender' has been advertising that they are 'affeliated' to MIXO-LOGIC. I would just like to say that no bartender is affiliated to MIXO-LOGIC, we pride ourselves on hiring the best bartenders to work at our events and that this individual is not one of them.

I would just like say that if you hire this bartender you do so at your own risk and it is of no responsibility to us.

Thank you for your attention.

GUINESS WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT

Finlandia Vodka tried to set the world record for the largest man made snow picture. Gathering all the competitors from the Finlandia International Cup,media,judges and staff together, we set out to draw the Finlandia logo in snow. It was great fun in extreme conditions. I learnt that you cant walk backwards in snow shoes!!! The hard way!! Anyway we should find out in a couple of weeks if our attempt was successful. Will keep you posted.
