Turning Japanese: Spirit It class tomorrow features Sake, Sochu cocktails
Remember when mixologlist Bob Louison was an innocent French youth in a big Chinese city? That was like two years ago. Well, he’s come a long way, cheri, and tomorrow will host his thirtieth cocktail class in Beijing. This one has a Japanese theme–the cocktails have a Sochu or Sake base–and will be held at Zazou on the third floor of Sanlitun Village, 7 PM to 9 PM. The fee is RMB160 and includes the ingredients to make four cocktails. RSVP with Bob at bobspirit.it@gmail.com / 15010-352-077.
No commentsTuesday at Tryst: Maple syrup, caramelized berries, Scottish invasion
Superb night last Tuesday at Tryst with bartender Pat deciding to get out the maple syrup and make Knob Creek-based Old-Fashioneds and Manhattans. He also whipped up Breakfast Martinis and caramelized berries to go with some shots. Eight customers makes not only for a tight fit in this tiny place, but also for a good vibe, and all in all it was a fun night. But what’s with that Bourbon shelf? It used to be 100-percent Maker’s Mark, Woodford Reserve, and Knob Creek–with some Jack Daniels thrown in. Now, the Jagermeister, Jing Jiu, and–worst of all–Glenfiddich has crept in. The next thing you know, we’ll be seeing Sang Thip up there.
