·      At the 2015 Hotel Experience Show at the Javitz convention center in Manhattan we got a chance to speak with 2 very interesting people:

o   Greg Elliott of the Chill Rite 32 company

o   Vanessa De Caria from Bevinco

·      The Chill Rite company makes draft beer systems that deliver beer to the tap at 32 degrees (or whatever temp you like), regardless of the temperature of the keg. This system promises zero waste.  We talk to Greg about a lot of issues regarding draft beer. They also make the Frost Rail.  The frost rail is a frozen rail built into the bar surface, which the guest sits their drink on and it keeps it cold!

·      We also speak with Vanessa from Bevinco - a company that has a system for liquor inventory for bars & restaurants that is very fast and accurate.  We’ll learn a lot about doing inventory, (which is such a dreadful task!) 

·      Book of the Week:  Cuban Cocktails 100 Classic and Modern Drinks.  This is a great book from the Manhattan bar Cienfuegos. There are classic cocktails from Cuba, plus lots of modern original recipes.  It’s a really fun book with beautiful photos from Cuba. 

·      Cocktail of the Week is the El Presidente

o   ¾ oz Aged Rum

o   ¾ oz Silver Rum

o   ¾ oz Dry Vermouth

o   ¼ oz Orange Curacao, (I used Grand Marnier)

o   1 Barspoon Grenadine, (I used Jack Rudy)

o   Stir with ice, strain into chilled couple. Lemon twist.

·      Toast of the Week:
“Here’s to the nights we’ll never remember, with the friends we’ll never forget”.
