Media Release Angostura Bitters in World's Most
MEDIA RELEASE ANGOSTURA BITTERS IN WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE COCKTAIL Port of Spain, Trinidad. 11 th October, 2012. World-renowned bartender Salvatore Calabrese, has broken the Guinness World Record for producing the most expensive cocktail with a Cognac-based drink, priced at 5,500 pounds sterling a glass. Product from a 1900 bottle of Angostura aromatic bitters, was used in the creation. Trinidadians should be proud. “Salvatore’s Legacy”, was concocted by Calabrese in front of an audience of London’s top bartenders at The Playboy Club in Mayfair yesterday. It is also the world’s oldest cocktail, containing a liqueur from 1770 and Cognac from 1788, around the time of the American Revolution and Captain Cook’s claiming of Australia. The cocktail, composed of 40ml of 1788 Clos de Griffier Vieux Cognac, 20ml of 1770 Kummel Liqueur, 20ml of 1860 Dubb Orange Curaçao and two dashes of Angostura Bitters from the 1900s, was bought by a friend and long term client of Calabrese. The successful attempt, to coincide with London Cocktail Week, was overseen by a Guinness World Records adjudicator. The previous record for the world’s most expensive cocktail was held by The Skyview Bar at the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, with a £3,766.52 a glass tipple. Calabrese, who has previously worked at Dukes Hotel in St James’s and The Lanesborough in Knightsbridge, is a vintage Cognac specialist. He has built a collection of fine and rare Cognacs worth over £1 million, dating back to the late 18 th century, many of which are displayed behind glass at Salvatore’s Bar at The Playboy Club. -

Just Amaro Or What Else? Herb Based Amari Stand in the Breach Again
Just amaro or what else? Herb based amari stand in the breach again Herb based liqueurs and bitters date back to the age of the early conventual pharmacies. Some of them, with time, have become world famous classics. And now they come back to fashion in bars. By Erhard Ruthner After a good meal a “drop” is compulsory: an ancient wisdom of our grandfathers that still finds its followers, even if the digestive effect of alcohol is not proved in medicine, but rather it is part of everlasting legends. What on the contrary is universally known is the relaxing effect that herbs have on the gastrointestinal part; it’s no wonder, therefore, that herb based liqueurs and amari have an ancient history. It is the case of the hospital of Salerno, the forerunner of the first pharmaceutical shops. But also the Benedictine monks of Montecassino had known the secrets of the processing of herbs to produce tinctures and liqueurs since the origins. Many liqueurs produced and requested still today really have their roots in the pharmacies of the monasteries: from France the Bénédectine and the Chartreuse, from Italy Averna and from Germany the elixirs of the distillery of Andechs. But even later it was the pharmacists that opened the way – in particularly in Northern Italy at the beginning of the nineteenth century – to the golden age of herbs among drink makers: names as Ausano Ramazzotti, Gaspare Campari, Maria Branca, Francesco Peloni (Bràulio) or even Benedetto Carpano, who was the creator of vermouth with his idea of flavoring wine. Also Johann Becher and József Max Zwack started to commercialize the recipes of their families in Austria-Hungary, and still today Becherovka and Unicum are considered typical national drinks in the Check Republic and Hungary. -

Aperitifs, Cordials, and Liqueurs
Chapter 6 Aperitifs, Cordials, and Liqueurs In This Chapter ▶ Serving up some tasty before-dinner drinks ▶ Examining the vast world of cordials and liqueurs his chapter is a catchall for a handful of different liquor Tcategories. Aperitifs were developed specifically as pre-meal beverages. Cordials and liqueurs have a variety of purposes. Some are great mixers, others are good after-dinner drinks, and a few make good aperitifs as well. Go figure. Whetting Your Appetite with Aperitifs Aperitif comes from the Latin word aperire, meaning “to open.” An aperitif is usually any type of drink you’d have before a meal. Most aperitifs are usually low in alcohol and mild-tasting. You can drink many of the cordials and liqueurs listed later in this chapter as aperitifs as well. I don’t have much more to say about aperitifs other than to list the individual products that are available, such as the following: ✓ Amer Picon (French): A blend of African oranges, gen- tian root, quinine bark, and some alcohol. Usually served with club soda or seltzer water with lemon. ✓ Campari (Italian): A unique combination of fruits, spices, herbs, and roots. 54 Part II: Distilling the High Points of Various Spirits ✓ Cynar (Italian): A bittersweet aperitif that’s made from artichokes. Best when served over ice with a twist of lemon or orange. ✓ Dubonnet (American): Produced in California and avail- able in blond and red. Serve chilled. ✓ Fernet-Branca (Italian): A bitter, aromatic blend of approximately 40 herbs and spices (including myrrh, rhubarb, camomile, cardamom, and saffron) in a base of grape alcohol. -
