SOUSED Weekly #005 (MP3 - 19MB - 43 mins)
Listen Here!
Greetings to all, and welcome to the latest SOUSED episode. This episode sees us continuing our world tour of cocktails. We travel to the Carribean and look at the demon rum.
In this episode we mention www.ardentspirits.com the website of Gary Regan’s regular newsletter. Be sure to check this site out and sign up for the newsletter - Gary’s worth his weight in gold(wasser) :-D.
We also mention the recent Rum episode published by SOUSED’s mortal enemy and nemesis (not really) Mr Martini in his Behind the Bar Show.
We talk a little about the history of Rum and mention a few of the up and coming Rum appreciation clubs around the world - The Ministry of Rum and The Rum Club originating at Notting Hill’s Trailer Happiness tiki bar.
The drinks we explore are :
The Daiquiri
The Mojito
The “La Floridita Daiquiri”(also known as a “Hemingway Daiquiri” or a “Papa Doble”). Not to be confused with the La Floridita cocktail. See Drinkboy’s entry about this drink. A bartender who can make you a well balanced La Floridita Cocktail is a rare find indeed.
Also keep an eye out this episode for a Der Raum twist on the historically significant Cuba Libre!.

Hope you enjoy this episode!
Cheers,
Kev.

Hey Kev,
This is your nemesis, Mr. Martini.
I just wanted to leave a quick message saying I absolutely enjoy listening to your podcast. You keep up the great work and have a drink for me. If I could afford a trip from California to Australia I’d be there to buy you a drink.
Cheers!

Any chance we could get some photos of the Cube Libre? I get the feeling the visual impact of these molecular drinks is important. Sadly, it gets lost in the podcast format…

Hi Kev.. Luurve your podcasts.. working thru them slowly - just tuned-in 2-nite after a few months o/s . Shae put me onto your site. Bit of a budding pod-lecturer myself so keen to meet up (over a cocktail?). Did a spot of talk-back - “At the Bar with LeighBee” on 774 ABC fortnightly thru 2004 and enjoyed it… am very impressed with your VOICE and style…jazz breraks between “chapters” of dialogue work well + your solo b4 returning to interview. Bee interested to chat about (a) use of fcuk type words en podcast; recording devices on location;copywrite issues with background music, amplifying quiet-spoken barmen( Shae?)and what the hell happened to May - Sept “06 podcasts…Your pickled admirer and cult of the cocktail member..LeighBee
