A Food Journalist Behind the Bar

Jarlsberg makes cocktail time delicious and extra-special, which is why is one of the sponsors at this year’s Manhattan Cocktail Classic - http://www.manhattancocktailclassic.com/

I will partner with the Burrell Group and will demonstrate how to create four cocktails—focusing on sours, sparkling and white wines as the base—and pair them with four yummy bar bites!

If you’re in NYC, we hope you’ll join us May 15th at the trendy Yotel in Times Square, to indulge! It will be a guaranteed great time, and you’ll leave with a full belly, new ideas, with some cool surprises in store, too. Tickets are on sale now for A Food Journalist Behind The Bar. Cheers!

Unique Cocktails with Greek Muscat

Samos, the Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea is historically known for its Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains grapes that are grown at 2,600 feet above sea level. Muscat of Samos comes in 3 styles: 1. Samos Doux, the vin de liqueur, made my adding alcohol immediately after the grapes have been pressed 2. Samos Vin Doux Naturel  made by stopping the fermentation later on 3. Samos Nectar, the finest of the three, made from grapes dried in the sun so they can ferment into a wine of 14% alcohol. It's aged for 3 years in cask.

Muscat of Samos is aromatic, with delicate floral and grapey notes and a delicious sweet finish, therefore is the perfect base for unique and complex cocktails.

The Anthemis Cocktail was created by Macao Trading co-owner and bartender Dushan Zaric.

2 ounces Samos Anthemis 1999
1 ounce Pisco Barsol Mosto Verde Italia
6 red seedless grapes
1 lemon wedge
Ginger Beer

Directions:

In the bottom of the mixing glass muddle the grapes into a paste, extracting all juices and tannins. Add the Pisco and Samos Anthemis 1999.
