Fun Mojito Vid

Thought this was a pretty cool YouTube video. It’s funny how everybody has their own tale when it comes to how something is created – during my research, I never really came across tales of Cuban slaves coming up with the drink. I did however, hear that the drink came from the African word ‘Mojo’ Here [...]

What in the cocktail glass?! The Mojito

Everyone has heard of them. They are featured in movies, drank by celebrities, they have songs written about them, but most people actually don’t know what’s in a lot of classic drinks. A prime example – In my first few weeks as a bartender, I had a tiny little Asian girl order a Martini. I [...]

Beer on tap

Why Draught? It’s true that Australia’s love their draught beer, but do you really know what the difference is between bottled and tap beer? Light – light can affect the flavour of bottled beer, whilst draught beer is quite protected by any damage that UV rays can do to the brew. Cleanliness – Bottled beer [...]
