IDEAL TO REAL: FROM BARTENDER’S CHOICE TO DRINK LIST REALITY
Saturday, May 12th, 12:00pm - 2:00pm at Raines Law Room
with Joy Richard: Bar and Beverage Manager-Franklin Restaurant Group, Chad Arnholt: Assistant Bar
and Beverage Manager-Franklin Restaurant Group, and Ted Kilpatrick: Bar Director-No 9 Park
presented by Sailor Jerry
SYNOPSIS: Ideal to Real: From Bartender's Choice to Drink List Reality
A practical and tactical guide to creating a cocktail list. Starting with the basics, this seminar is
designed to address the practical elements involved in designing a list for your bar. This seminar will
cover business dynamics - location, demographic, availability of spirits, business volume, venue size,
skill level of existing staff, etc. - and address how that can impact drink dynamics - product
availability, ingredients, drink style, size, craft, etc.
In the bar/restaurant business, the story usually goes like this: the restaurant needs a cocktail list, or
at least several new drinks for the existing list, thus the bartender is tasked to create the menu. While
on bar, of course we know how make delicious cocktails that make our guests happy, however, this
skill does not necessarily translate when writing an actual list. And while pouring a collection of
favored spirits and ingredients into a glass may work for a "bartenders choice" cocktail, it may not be
affordable or practical on a broader scale. This seminar is intended to address building a cohesive list
1 that is fit for your bar, cost effective, approachable, and diverse, while incorporating the booze that we
love or are "encouraged" to use.

presented by Belvedere Vodka
Why Rye? What is it about this wonderful grain that produces exceptional bread, beer, whisky and
vodka? Does the treatment of this grain produce the characteristics of rye whisky, or is it the finishing
or aging of the spirit that defines it? What happens when you age a rye vodka? When does the grain
alone become the hero, or the treatment of it become its master?

versatility of this renowned, yet mysterious grain, as Allen demonstrates new distillations of rye and

with Charlotte Voisey, Portfolio Ambassador, William Grant & Sons USA
presented by William Grant & Sons USA
There is more to a cocktail than just filling the glass. As the last few years has shown, a great
bartender uses skills and understanding that are not always seen by the guest at the bar, and rightly
so.

experience looking for special touches along the way.
Dick and Jane classics will be served to deliciously punctuate the conversation.

From mold-breaking saloon owners to current day cocktail mavens, women have had a vital, though
often overlooked, impact on the evolution of bars and cocktails. The Ladies United for the Preservation
of Endangered Cocktails will shed some light on the subject in this seminar as cocktails flow.
Lynnette Marrero and Meaghan Dorman of LUPEC NYC team up with Kitty Amann and Misty Kalkofen of
LUPEC Boston to introduce you to the likes of:
- Widow Alice Guest who ran her public house from a cave in colonial Philadelphia
- Ada Coleman, former Head Bartender of the Savoy Hotel, and famous inventor of the Hanky Panky
- Helen David, who opened the Brass Rail Bar in the midst of the Great Depression
- The current cocktail renaissance as seen through Audrey Saunders' eyes
We'll sketch, in broad strokes, the alcohol-influenced social changes that began with the antebellum
Temperance movement, culminated during Prohibition, and had ripple effects through WWII and
beyond. Attendees can expect colorful anecdotes from our favorite male bartending legends with an
appreciation for a lady behind the stick. With the spirit and wit specific to lady barkeeps, we plan to
raise a glass (or several) to the women who have influenced cocktail history.

search for new ways to use Tequila in strong (alcohol only) cocktails. The methods used to produce
Tequila have a profound impact on what's in the bottle. As we define these characteristics and find
similarities and contrasts between Blanco, Reposado and Anejo, we then use that knowledge to mix up
a few drinks, focusing on bringing the base spirit to the forefront. Classic recipes are a great way to
start exploring, but that's just the beginning. We plan on going from clear and bright to dark and
mysterious as we search for the best companions to our favorite spirit. Dean Hurst will be behind the
bar mixing and stirring his way through the drink selection as we search for the best companions to
our favorite spirit.

Saturday, May 12th, 3:00pm - 5:00pm at Mother's Ruin
with Marshall Altier - Trade Outreach and Development Director - Denizen Rum; and Greg Boehm Cocktail Kingdom
presented by Denizen Rum
With all due respect to Pirates and the New England Colonies, it must be said that rum lore does not
stop there. Deeply ingrained in the history of rum is the tiny little island of Cuba, a place around the
era of Prohibition in the US, that was an escape from the abstinence practiced at home. Havana was a
place of excess and romance, much like Las Vegas would later become. Those Americans who could
afford it flocked there for the nightlife, gambling, and outright revelry. Names like Chaplin, Pickford,
and Hemingway were such fixtures at bars like the famous El Floridita that they became the monikers
of classic rum cocktails that still live on today.
Join us as we recreate the revelry of a Havana night at one of our own favorite watering holes, Mother's
Ruin, as their world class team joins forces with barman Marshall Altier and Greg Boehm of Cocktail
Kingdom to share these once forgotten drinks brought back to life with Denizen Rum along with a
soundtrack from the legendary Bar El Floridita house band.
Offering the complexity of a fine aged sipping rum with the versatility of a white rum packed with old
school flavors that would have made the free spirits traveling to Cuba proud, Denizen and its team,
promise to liberate your palate and take you on a rebellious journey to the Cuba of legend.

with Speakers: Cristian Molina - Head Bartender
9 -Pascaline Lepeltier - Beverage Director
-Kristy Lambrou - R.D./ Culinary Nutritionist
presented by Rouge Tomate & FAIR. Spirits
Rouge Tomate's beverage program follows a unique philosophy called S.P.E., which requires the use of
only the freshest and most natural ingredients possible when creating cocktails. It is our belief that we
can optimize flavour and quality without compromising nutritional integrity. We combine seasonal
creativity, nutritional quality and a respect to the history of the cocktail when developing a wide range
of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic offerings. S.P.E., which stands for "Sanitas Per Escam" in Latin or
"Health Through Food" in English, is a new way to think about cocktails by focusing on the sourcing,
the preparing and the enhancing of EACH ingredient; when combined together create a cocktail that is
not only excellent in flavour but also good for you. As a Green-certified and Slowfood recognized
restaurant, we also pay specific attention to how our products are grown and produced; preferring to
use only those products that were developed using the most sustainable practices.
Rouge Tomate is the only bar with an award-winning, dedicated juice bar in house. Seasonal, local,
and whenever possible, organic vegetables, fruits and herbs are juiced, infused, cooked, dried, etc. on
a daily basis. This is a whole new world of mixing beverages that takes advantage of the natural
flavours of ingredients ranging from pomegranate to coconut milk to our basil/spinach/tarragon blend
and shuns added sweeteners that you find so often in standard bar programs.
Rouge Tomate is also the only bar where a full-time registered dietician/trained chef helps us not only
improve the taste but also the nutritional value of our drinks.
It is not about diet, it is about the quality of what you drink.
Discover
-How to select your products - from raw ingredients to specific liquors, spirits, wines, sakes, etc. according to their organoleptic and nutritional qualities
-How to prepare the ingredients in a way that maintains the nutritional qualities and natural flavour
profiles
-How to combine them in a way that will not only create an ultra tasty cocktail but enhance the
nutritional complexity of the drink.
-How to make this beverage program a successful one - cost questions, recognition and promotion

A community-building celebration, a charitable fundraiser, and an all-around awesome time, PORK
OUT PUNCH PARTY is the brainchild of The Bon Vivants - and this event marks this Manhattan Cocktail
Classic marks its debut. As is the story with other Bon Vivant's fundraisers, the event is the
culminating party and fundraiser to cap off a longer-lead volunteer effort by a group of bartending
professionals who, earlier in the week leading up to the event, will have donated their time, love, and
muscle to assist those in need of some help. It isn't a competition; it isn't a workshop; it isn't an inyour-face mixology "experience". It is simply a gathering of cocktail enthusiasts and cocktail
professionals, together under the afternoon sun, in Brooklyn, in May - with pigs, punch, live music
from the local brass legends the Stumblebums, DJ Eleven and DJ Ayers of The Rub, games, and good
friends, in the spirit of using what we have to help those with less.
Note that while there is no ticket required for entry (see RSVP information below), all guests must
purchase a $30 Pork Out Punch Party T-shirt with all proceeds donated to KIPP NYC, whose mission is
to teach our students to develop the character and academic skills necessary to succeed in high
school and college, to be self-sufficient, successful, and happy in the competitive world, and to build a
better tomorrow for themselves and us all.

15 "UNUSUALLY YOURS"
Sunday, May 13th, 1:00pm - 3:00pm at Dutch Kills
with Richard Boccato, proprietor--Dutch Kills; Sasha Petraske, proprietor--Dutch Kills; Karin Stanley,
proprietor--Dutch Kills; Abraham Hawkins, Head Bartender--Dutch Kills; Jim Ryan, Hendrick's Brand
Ambassador
presented by Hendrick's Gin
To say that Dutch Kills and Hendrick's Gin have a lot in common is an understatement, to say the very
least. What is it exactly that makes an evening of Hendrick's Gin cocktails at Dutch Kills a unique and
memorable--yet at the same time "unusual" experience? The obvious answer would be our zip code.
Dutch Kills is a neighborhood cocktail saloon on the Western frontier of Long Island City, Queens
(Queens? Yes, Queens) where men and women from every strata of the socioeconomic spectrum can
enjoy an exemplary and generously-priced drink within a warm and convivial setting. Neighborhood
affiliation aside, Dutch Kills stands out amongst its peers due mostly to the care and precision with
which our cocktails are consistently executed and presented to our guests by our bright, energetic,
enduring, engaging, and dedicated staff. And that's exactly what you'll find when you boldly venture
forth to Dutch Kills.
Furthermore, our cocktail program is governed by a formidable range of premium spirits and liqueurs,
carefully selected farm-fresh ingredients, and a superior caliber of ice that is produced via two
Clinebell model CB300X2D machines courtesy of Hundredweight; our in-house block ice production
facility. This ice is then harvested on the premises from 300-pound blocks that are hand-cut directly
behind the bar for the purpose of satisfying the needs of every category within our canon of cocktails.
The continued focus and development of our ice program is perhaps one of the most highly recognized
and internationally lauded aspects of our service model. Unusual, indeed.
The prevailing atmosphere within Dutch Kills is very much a reflection of the blue-collar industrial
roots that resonate throughout the streets of Long Island City. The oak walls within the tavern section
of the bar are stained with a deep, rich mahogany finish - lending a timeless and intimate aspect to
the cozy and inviting booths throughout. A short walk down the hall gives way to a lofty barroom with
an eighteen foot ceiling. The bar itself is made of fine and sturdy oak that is lined with sixteen stools
where every seat at the bar commands a front-row view of three bar stations. Here guests can witness
first hand the banter and quality craftsmanship of our bartenders who ply their trade with pride - and
entirely without pretension or prejudice.
Perhaps most importantly, specific inspiration for Dutch Kills comes from our desire to provide our
local patrons with affordable and commendable cocktails in an environment that is completely devoid
of any airs of exclusivity. Extensive training behind the bar has made our bartenders both well-versed
and well-adept at conjuring myriad incarnations of drinks. Therefore, we do not necessarily specialize
in one style of cocktail here, but instead we excel in every variety of cocktail that we set forth over our
bar. Those who do appreciate the exponential benefits that Hendrick's Gin contributes to a cocktail will
most certainly appreciate the unusual attention to detail in every aspect of service at Dutch Kills.

It is one thing to curate a cocktail menu for a the Literati in downtown speakeasies. It is another thing

travelers, and European tourists alike; it is a challenge keeping such disparate expectations fulfilled.
In this seminar, we will talk about the philosophy of cocktail lists in general, and our experiences

All too often the importance of our ability to differentiate between flavours and aromas is glossed over
and we assume that everyone is an expert. This seminar aims to show how we detect varying tastes
and aromatics then show how it is possible to 'train' and improve this ability.
Guided through a unique tour of sensory discovery, 4 Gins and their Botanicals will be used to
demonstrate and help understand our amazing ability to not only differentiate between flavours but
also, using flavour mapping, efficiently detect specific Botanicals within the recipes.

Escape with us to the asphalt shores of PKNY as we raise our frozen pineapples and Zombie mugs in
honor of the enduring legacies of Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt aka "Don The Beachcomber", Victor
"Trader Vic" Bergeron, and Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins. We will talk some tiki, we will toast some
grog, and we will celebrate the respective roles that each of these American pioneers have played in
the rebirth of the faux-polynesian cocktail scene right here on the mean streets of New York City.
The legendary Sailor Jerry aesthetic and the timeless and carefree tiki lifestyle are both deeply rooted
in the rich fabric of American history. Furthermore, they are both intertwined with a common thread
25 that speaks to brave hearts and adventurous souls everywhere. As rum is undeniably THE spirit of the
Americas, both tiki cocktails and Sailor Jerry are both undeniably representative of the classic
American spirit.
When PKNY first swung its doors to the public in May of 2010, our mission was to redefine the tropical
cocktail movement by bringing back a true sense of craftmanship and quality to the lost art of the tiki
drink. We would be honored if you would allow us to welcome you into our bar for a glimpse of how we
have since learned to burn the tiki torch with respect to all Ohana who have paved the way for us to be
here today. Mahalo nui loa a `okole maluna!

Monday, May 14th, 2:00pm - 7:00pm at The Tippler
presented by Disaronno
The Mixing Star is not just another cocktail competition. Yes, our finalists can make a balanced
cocktail. But what we really want to show is:
-Do these bar stars have customers that come to wherever they are tending because they could
care less about the bar itself, and just want to see HIM/HER?
-Do they have something special - their shake, a bottle flip, the way they greet their guests?
-They are so charismatic they've introduced people who have gotten married; they mix people, not
just drinks.
-They are psychologists; they read the customer the minute they walk up to the bar, give em' their
fix, and then an hour-long therapy session.
-They are actors; the minute they get behind the bar, they have a super alter-ego persona that
emerges, which says "right now, it's all about the people in front of me, and I'm going to put on a
good show."
-Like Norm - every customer knows THEIR name.
-Like Isaac - they aim to please and have a plethora of customers who want to date them because
their smile and their signature “finger point” has made them famous.
What we are looking for is that intangible Star quality, that special something that defines the
CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL in our industry. Fear note: the judging panel is a motely crew
who all personify what we are looking for. USBG National President aka alter-ego Mister Mojito;
Tobin Ellis - did someone say “put on a show?”; Paul Sevigny, DISARONNO National Brand
Ambassador, bartender’s bartender, who’s cocktail-making prowess has earned him the rep “of
one of the nastiest - Janet Jackson Nasty - bartenders out of Miami”; and Willy Shine, born to be a
star, whenever in action he “Will Shine”.
The Northeast Regionals are upon us Monday, May 14! Short notice, yes, we can’t help it (we’re
Italian). But we know how to throw a good party. And giving these stars a chance to get a trip to
Mumbai, India and be in a Bollywood production? Don’t ask why… but why not? Be there to
witness competition history, and be part of the short film: “Mixing Star: Behind the Bar”! BE
THERE!

THE DARKEST NIGHT: BOWMORE'S EVENING AT THE MCKITTRICK HOTEL WITH A
PERFORMANCE OF SLEEP NO MORE
Monday, May 14th, 7:00pm - 11:00pm at The McKittrick Hotel
Presented by Bowmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Quote New York Magazine: "What in Hecate's name is Sleep No More? A dance-theater horror show? A
wordless, nonlinear mash-up of Macbeth and the darker psychosexual corners of Hitchcock? A six-story
Jazz Age haunted house for grown-ups and anyone who's ever entertained sick cineast-y fantasies of
living inside a Kubrick movie? 'Tis all these, and more besides: 'a deed without a name,' to quote an
infernal authority."
Join us for a one-night-only, whisky-focused event at the McKittrick Hotel, including a performance of
"Sleep No More" - the twisted, surrealistic, critically-acclaimed interactive theatrical event that has
taken New York City by storm. This evening is presented by Bowmore, Scotland's first Islay single malt
Scotch whisky, which will elevate an already intense sensory experience to entirely new levels. You'll be
welcomed with drams of the wickedly intense Bowmore 15 Year Old Darkest before heading into the
labyrinthine McKittrick Hotel, where you'll be set loose to explore, experience, smell, taste, and interact
with the performance at your own pace, finding your own path. Once you've had your time to play (or
whenever you reach absolute sensory overload), you'll head to the McKittrick's Manderley Bar and to
the hotel lobby for specialty Bowmore cocktails and a sinful punch created by the one-and-only David
Wondrich to enjoy with your comrades, whilst you recount the evening's curiosities over delectable
culinary delights.
"A merry macabre chase. A voyeur's delight. Messes with your head as thoroughly as any artificial
stimulant. Spectacular!" - Ben Brantley, New York Times

NOT JUST YOUR MAMA'S MARGARITA'S ANYMORE
Tuesday, May 15th, 1:00pm - 3:00pm at Mayahuel
with Philip Ward, Proprietor and Beverage Director - Mayahuel
presented by Cointreau
There's more to the world of Tequila (And Mezcal) Cocktail Bars than the Margarita and Mayahuel has
proven so over the last 2 to 3 years. Mayahuel and Philip Ward do however recognize the importance of
the Margarita's and Cointreau's historic roles in making Tequila (and Mezcal) relevant members of the
Cocktail World. Now in this Tales from behind the bar event at Mayahuel Philip Ward will explain and
30 showcase just how far beyond the Margarita the cocktail world has come by showcasing a slew of
Tequila, Mezcal, and Cointreau Cocktails including a Taco and Cocktail pairing.
Ticket Price: $75
SWEET & BITTER
Tuesday, May 15th, 1:00pm - 3:00pm at Raines Law Room
with Don Katz, Graham Wright, and Kendra Strasburg. Mixology by: Kirsten Amann, Brand Ambassador,
Fernet Branca, Mixology Twin; Joy Richard, Bar & Beverage Manager, Franklin Restaurant Group; Daniel
de Olivera, Mixology Twin, Ben Sandrof, Northeast Sales Manager St-Germain, Martin Duffy, National
Brand Ambassador Benedictine
presented by Benedictine, The Bitter End, Fernet Branca, and St-Germain
Why does Fernet taste delicious to some people and overbearingly bitter to others? And in a bartender's
world, where bitter cocktails are all the rage, is there any hope for the sweet-toothed mixologist?
The folks behind last year's Science of Taste seminar are back, this time to hone in on Sweet and
Bitter, two of the most important yet ever so divisive tastes. Join Don Katz, professor of Neuroscience
and Chemosensation, Chemist Graham Wright, and nutritionist Kendra Strasburg as they illuminate
Sweet and Bitter from a scientific and biological perspective.
From Fernet and a cheap beer to Imperial Royales to iconic drinks like the Hanky Panky and St-Germain
Cocktail to nouveau creations from mixologists who fall into both camps, we'll sample cocktails and
trick our tastebuds as we ask ourselves: "Sweet or Bitter, which is better? Can't we all just get along?"
