<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Looking for a way to take your drink-making skills to the next level ? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are many good ways to bring flame into your party and impress your friends. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's start with the basics ... why drinking a flaming shot ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em><strong>- For the flavour</strong></em> <strong><em>:</em></strong> Indeed, burning alcohol will condense the flavours to make the drink's taste richer and deeper. For example for a Flaming Doctor Pepper shot, the burning caramelises the taste of the amaretto, and gives the drink its signature flavour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>- <em>The Warmth :</em></strong> Setting things on fire makes them warmer, right? It's winter time, and we've already seen how to make a mulled wine with Anne So, flaming shot is a funny way to warm your body .</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>- <em>The Show :</em> </strong>Obviously<strong> </strong>the big one. The lighting of the drink is pure showmanship: fire is exciting and can really start the party. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, let's try with the classic flaming shot : <strong>Flaming Doctor Pepper</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>Ingredients:</u><br />Beer<br /> Amaretto<br /> Overproof rum<br /> Pint glass<br /> Shot glass</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fill a pint glass 1/2-3/4 full of beer;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fill a shot glass ¾ full with amaretto;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Float ¼ rum over the top of the amaretto;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Light rum, allow it to burn for several seconds;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Drop flaming shot into the beer, chug contents;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can also blow the shot out prior to dropping in the beer.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By following the steps outlined above, you too can <strong>master the flaming drink</strong> ! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, don't forget that you are drinking something that is <strong>burning</strong> ...this man below will certainly remember the flaming shot experience...</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Thanks to last week’s post you are a
really talented bartender and you are now literally able to juggle
with rum, vodka and whisky without any risk! Right?!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Well if you don’t feel yet that
confident, you should watch this amazing video! It will encourage you
a lot to get trained to reach the level of this guy! He is absolutely
INCREDIBLE! He really deserves a cocktail award…

He may have been training for tons of
hours to be skilful as he is now. Hard to pretend we are capable to
do the same in the blink of an eye. So let’s start with simple
movements <b>to make delicious cocktails</b>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
To be back to our wine cocktails, here
is a very interesting one with Cognac! As you may know, Cognac is a
spirit, more precisely an eau-de-vie which is made with grape juice.
The strong alcohol degree is produced thanks to the distillation
which takes off water from the juice. <b>The more you distil, the less
you have water so you obtain a higher level of alcohol. </b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>

To drink Cognac you don’t need to be
a fifty year old man smoking a big Montecristo near the chimney!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
A
friend of mine coming from the Cognac area uses to mix Cognac with a
bit of Schweppes Agrum… sounds weird? But actually it’s nice!
<b>Just to change from the boring Coke-Vodka or the too sweet Mojito</b>.

But there is even a better way to drink
Cognac! Easy-to-prepare and above all: easy-to-drink! You just have
to make a cocktail with your Cognac: it is easy, trendy, chic, tasty…
<b>WHAT ELSE?</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Here is the video of a young bartender
who’s making a very good looking cocktail with Hennessy Fine de
Cognac. “it is simple & elegant…” This is quite original
because he is mixing Cognac with tea…

What to do you think about the idea?
Personally I think this is tremendous, and that it can definitelly change your vision of afternoon tea! </div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: large; line-height: 107%;">A classic and famous one. Invented by <i>Gaspare Campari</i> in
Italy in 1860, this cocktail is made of Vermouth (the soft one, it is made
with white wine), Campari and gaz water , you can add some orange or lemon, as
your convenience. Nice color isn’t it ??<o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you don’t like the bitter taste, you will mostly prefer
the next cocktails ! I’ve particularly enjoyed this cocktail, especially
that the bartender let me taste the Vermouth before drinking the cocktail.</div>

Another famous italian cocktail . After a wonderful evening
spent in a wine bar, tasting some amazing italian wines, we wanted to finish
the night with a soft, tasty and refreshing drink . The <i>Prosecco</i> wine was the
perfect choice ! Guided by the owner of the bar, my friends decided to
taste a <i>Prosecco </i>with a strawberry liqueur, I choose another sparkling wine a
<i>Franciacorta Saten</i> from <i>Camossi</i>, without adding something in it...<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This
is Sunday morning, 11 o’clock, the sun is shining, birds are
singing and joggers are running ! Me?... I’m violently getting
awaken after a short night. I stretch out my arm with difficulty to
grab my phone in order to check out the latest pictures. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB" style="color: #eeeeee;">Then… I
realise I’m starving and that I need to DRINK!... I have to quickly
prepare my thirst-quenching and refreshing beverage: a HUGE glass of
hand squeezed lemon juice with water! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">After a long sip I start to
live again; the acidity of lemon destroys little by little the traces
of the previous drinks and I rehydrate myself. The taste is natural
and fresh, all what I need. I strongly encourage the KISS attitude:
</span><span style="color: white;">KEEP IT SIMPLE & … SOFT</span>! </span>

If there is one place you
need to go in Bordeaux if you really fancy cocktails, it is at the
Grand Hotel bar, the only 5* palace hotel in Bordeaux. On Thursday we
went there to discover more about wine cocktail and who better than
the Bar manager, Sebastien Grosse, to talk to us about it.</div>

Our very
friendly host took us through the extensive cocktail list, the
largest in Bordeaux, and explained us how wine was playing its part
in this list. Like in most cocktail bars, Champagne and brandy were
by far the most represented grape based alcohol. Apart from large
champagne cocktail list there was also a 240€ cocktail with Louis
XIII cognac and a Margarita Sauternes (tequila aged in Sauternes
barrel). As there were no still wine cocktails on the list, Sebastien
invited us to taste 3 cocktails he personally created, 3 cocktails
for white, rosé and red wine. And here they are:</div>

Not for the faint hearted!
Dry martini are amongst the strongest cocktails, using the
traditional recipe, Sebastien replaced the vermouth by a Sauternes
and served it with a lemon twist.
</div>
<div lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
For those who like
martinis it is an excellent alternative, the Sauternes adds body and
honey aromas while the lemon gives a touch of acidity.</div>

This was the hardest
tasks, the red wine cocktail. And the result is most pleasantly
surprising!
</div>
<div lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The tannins and austerity
of red wine is cut by the cranberry juice and raspberry purée, the
red fruit character in the wine is enhanced and the almonds notes are
revealed at the end.
</div>
<div lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This is the first red wine
cocktail we have seen so it rightfully deserves the prize of
innovation and creativity!</div>

you don’t have the time to do a really good cocktail. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

cool experience and i 've learned a lot of things. But after i began to worked
in the <b>Sky garden</b> (it’s a cocktail bar in Biarritz where everybody goes). And i
learned to make cocktails, in this bar we make a lot of thing such as margarita, pina
colada, sex on the beach….<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I don’t have
a favourite bar, for me the bartender is really important. He has to know how
to do a cocktail with your tastes. So for me my favourite bartender is Kiko
(you can find kiko during the summer at the arena café in Biarritz, for julien
this guys is a magician in cocktail)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s really
important to know all the flavours of differences products, to know how to put together
all the ingredients. You have to be really objective when you are making a cocktail, in
fact your drink have to be accessible for everybody and not only for you.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s a
Venezuelan guy who arrived in Biarritz for the summer 2013. He is a real
seasonal worker and he has seen a lot of different bars in different places.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And now JP works
in the café café in Biarritz a trendy bar in the city.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I worked in a
lot of places but if I had to choose some of them, I think I will tell you about La
folie douce in Val d’isère and le café café in Biarritz, we did a lot of
cocktails in those bars. But I learn a lot in the Market in Perpignan because I
didn’t have a really hospitality diploma and they took the time to teach me all
the important things. I was really interested and motivated; it’s why now I can
do what I do!!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unquestionably
the market I learn all my actual knowledges in this place. It’s amazing. Take

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I owed to give some tips to begin with cocktails, I think I will tell that you have to
love mixing. You need to be really rigorous, and have precision. You need a lot
of dexterity so in consequences be really dextrous.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To conclude
you have to thing one cocktail it’s not just a taste it’s like a beautiful
picture. The appearance is as important as the taste. Your cocktail need to be
beautiful and have a good tasting. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

here, bringing with it cold and snow. We exchange lightweight clothes for fur
coats, water fights for snowballs fight, and fruity light cocktails… for <b>Mulled Wine</b>!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Where does
it come from? It is nothing of new or modern, it has its roots in the Roman
Empire: they used to drink wine spiced and heated. While they conquered Europe
they spread their culture, and locals kept the best features: mulled wine is
one of those! Then each place made it in their own way, and little by little this
beverage has been consecrated as a specific<b> Christmas drink</b>, particularly in
northern and eastern European countries, where they actually do not drink ONLY
beer!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sick of hard drinks and big
hangover ? Well cocktailsting has the solution :two wine cocktails
for you!
</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Ice Tropez. Easy
recognizable with its modern style bottle, it is a sparkling wine
cocktail mainly based upon a rosé wine and mixed up with a flavour
of peach and carbonated water. Easy to drink, less expensive than an
other "classic" cocktail or an hard drink, it is the first
revelation tested and approuved by our team.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB"> Thursday night was the annual launch of the <b><i>Beaujolais nouveau</i></b>.
Alright, it's good fun to be drinking a bottle as cheap as a bus ticket with a
label that looks like a painting made by your 5 years old nephew. But by the
next day it's very likely that the beverage will have killed 50% of all your
taste buds and brain cells (No offence to Beaujolais lovers, there are some
very nice bottles and crus, but too many Beaujolais nouveau taste like lightly
flavoured water).</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

fermented grapes could offer us and we headed to the <u>Marikita cocktail
bar</u></i></b> near Place de la Bourse in Bordeaux for a well-deserved
“hair of the dog” cocktail. And we were nicely surprised by the selection of
cocktails, well decorated room and friendliness of the bartender. <b><i>By

red (not an easy one), white, rosé, sparkling and distilled grapes.</i></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
