flair bartending - Beyond Tiki

Perhaps Neil's inital post wasn't clear enough in asking for your Tiki feedback because it wasn't clear enough that BWTV is a complete bartending show. And perhaps the somewhat harsh response bought out the flair defences. Let's hope flair and mixology can live harmoniously - after all its all about great drinks. I HAVE actually been on this site before, but not posted, since I haven't had any tiki knowledge to add - or questions to answer that I couldn't find advice with already. But since we are starting a fresh... Here's some topics we can all discuss together and hopefully get some ideas for a future episode of BWTV? We'll certainly suggest visiting a tiki bar for a feature! We've had the opportunity of working with some great Tiki names to produce some themed Tiki Bars - Cheeky Tiki built us a wonderful themed facia, and provided some great mugs and props! (Thanks again Angie & Jamie!) We are also enjoying working with Angostura Rum, and have some 1919 Rum to experiment with- we'd love to know your recipes. Here is a simple recipe given to us by Angostura which we mixed up at the National Television Awards last month to great success: CREOLE COLADA 50ml Angostura 1919 3 pieces fresh lime, squeezed and dropped into the drink 5ml coconut cream 75ml pineapple juice Method: Shake with ice and double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a lime wedge. Here's some more news -Angostura are launching new orange bitters - we have a couple of sample bottles and so far have had lots of fun experimenting with them? What are your favourite recipes with orange bitters - we'd like to know so we can try them out with this new product. Kate
