Bacardi Mojito Commercial
Saturday, July 04, 2009

It's summertime and that means that it's mojito time. Now if this Bacardi video doesn't make you want a mojito then you had better check your pulse.

Just one comment about the bartender. The poor guy has to sit there and muddle all of those mint leaves to make mojitos for everyone and that just doesn't seem fair to me. Give the guy a break and order a beer every once in a while.

Bombay Sapphire Ginger Mint
Sunday, November 30, 2008

You know I've had a bottle of Bombay Sapphire in the house for a long time and never had to urge to open it, until now. I think it was a gift that someone brought over at some point. But now that I've found the Bombay Sapphire YouTube Channel, I think I'll be cracking that bottle open.

Here's a really simple drink that sounds tasty. A Bombay Sapphire Ginger Mint. You start with some mint leaves in the bottom of your glass, then pour in 1 part Bombay Sapphire and 2 parts ginger ale. Nice and easy. I like this because not every drink that you make needs to involve a blender or 9 different ingredients.

Molecular Mixology
Monday, September 08, 2008

Molecular Mixology is getting a lot of press lately but what exactly is it? Well the very simple explanation is that it's a lot like Jello shots. It's about changing the density and viscosity of drinks.

Lots of people are using liquid nitrogen to freeze alcohol while others are adding proteins, like eggs to the mix in order to get these drinks to gel.

What do you think? Is it just a fad or is the future going to be full of vodka Popsicles.

Smirnoff Vodka Commercial

This commercial is pretty cool. And it makes it's point. Smirnoff is extraordinarily purified, filtered ten times and triple distilled.

Playmate Mixologist
Saturday, August 09, 2008

Have you seen these Playboy videos yet? No, I'm not talking about the naked ones. Apparently they have a YouTube channel where the have playmates doing regular things on video. One of those regular things is making drinks.

Now how are regular people who make mixology videos ever going to get any views at all. If someone does find your video on How to Make A Margarita, the first thing they'll see is the Playboy Playmate in the related video section. Bye, bye, that viewer is gone.

It's not really fair but Playboy is pretty smart doing it.

Tiki Bar Outtakes
Monday, July 28, 2008

Tikibar has just posted their latest podcast and it's a good one. Probably not a great episode to start out with if you're not familiar with the Tikibar podcast because it's nothing but bloopers. Lot's of laughing, cursing and spit takes. Good stuff.
