Hi y’all!

As a lead in to World Cocktail Week (May 8th - 13th), I decided to interview Melbourne’s pre-eminent Cocktail Historian and all round nice-guy, Sebastian “The Mad Scientist” Reaburn (kinda sounds like a wrestling name doesn’t it?). Sebastian is proprietor of Melbourne’s 1806, a wonderful bar dedicated to cocktails through the ages. Seb and I talked at length about various topics ranging from the academic; Molecular Mixology and Cocktail History, through to more practical matters like the dire need for stronger training in the Australian Bar industry.

Sebastian is a joy to talk to, and he’s got a lot of time for anyone who is eager to explore cocktails beyond disco-drink mistakes such as Illusion shakers and B-52s (although I imagine that some day 1806, as a bar dedicated to the history of the cocktail, may seriously explore this period. I know I’ll be there!).

Enjoy the show!

Cheers,

Kev.

Thought I should drop you all a note about what I’ve been working on lately. You may have heard me talking recently about the Tiki Bar that I work at here in Melbourne - Tiki Lounge and Bar. Well, I’ve been working on a Blog for the bar which can be found at http://tikiloungeandbar.com. Be sure to check it out if you’re in town!

Cheers,

Well we’re back! FINALLY!

This episode we’ll ease ourselves back into form with a seminar I did about the pop culture phenomenon of the Tiki Bar, and the style of Bartending associated therewith.

This is a topic especially close to my heart as I now spend my weekends working at Melbourne’s only Tiki Bar - Tiki Lounge and Bar . In future I’m sure you will hear FAR more than you ever wanted to know about Tiki drinks from me, but that’s what I’m here for!
Some links to whet your appetite for Tiki:

Mahiki Bar in London

Trailer Happiness in Notting Hill

Forbidden Island in San Francisco

Trader Vic’s WORLDWIDE!

Melbourne’s own Smorgy’s

There’s stacks more out there… get googling! I’m sure we’ll see a return to form in coming weeks. I’m planning a bit of a change in the format of the show. I hope to make it more of an exploration of the great bartending community in Melbourne and Australia in general, and to showcase some of the fantastic talent, cutting edge cocktail techniques and of course world class bars that we have down under!

Thanks to all the returning listeners, and welcome to any new listeners who have dropped by!

Hi there!

This week we bring you a fascinating interview with a special international guest from the Melbourne Bar Show (www.barshow.com.au).

This episode we were very lucky indeed to meet up with jet-setting Bartending and Cocktail expert Angus Winchester. Angus is known around the world for his benevolent work in spreading the good word of great cocktails and skilled bartending. I’ve never before met a person with such an extensive knowledge of the business who also has such a passion about the job that compels him to share his knowledge and good advice. Cheers to you Angus!

It would be remiss of me to not mention the places where you can find Angus on the web…. His website Alconomics www.alconomics.com is a wealth of knowledge, and you can sign up for his excellent newsletter there. Angus is also involved with the The Rum Club which has just opened a Llcal Melbourne Chapter that I hope to get involved with as it grows.
Please be sure to email comments to sousedweekly@gmail.com

Hope you enjoy this episode!

Cheers,
Kev.

Hi there!  This week we are back with a vengeance!

First off let allow me to point you towards the beautifully redesigned

We talk about some of the significant figures in British cocktails,
including the creations of Salvatore Calabrese (from the luxurious Converted casino
Fifty in London).

We also mention the great Angus Winchester, Cocktail enthusiast extraordinaire. You should all be sure to check out his fabulous website www.alconomics.com)

We talk about the preeminant Campari based cocktail, the Negroni from Italy.

We also drink a Der Raum twist on the classic Bellini from Harry’s
American bar in the picturesque Italian city of Venice.

Shae mixed me a most excellent classic Cognac-based cocktail, the Sidecar, originally mixed at the Ritz in Paris.
