Bartenders, Celebrate National Absinthe Day with T.A. Breaux, Research Scientist, Creator of LUCID and Jade Absinthes

By | Mixology News

T.A. (Ted Breaux) is a world-renowned absinthe expert, who carefully reverse engineered vintage absinthes.

DeGroff Bitter Aperitivo and DeGroff New World Amaro event photographed by Rose Callahan at Amor Y Amargo on May 10, 2023

“I’m a research scientist and New Orleans native, both of which factored into my falling down this deep rabbit hole,” jokes T.A.

“Although I bartended for several years, the spirits business was not in my career plans. Absinthe changed that in 1993 when I became captivated by the mysteries of the spirit. I had found several sealed bottles of antique absinthe and was familiar with its history in New Orleans.”

Back in the day, Absinthe was very popular. It was imported to New Orleans by 1840; The Old Absinthe House was established in 1874; and by 1900 as a key ingredient in the Sazerac and Absinthe Frappé. Yet, by 2000, absinthe was nowhere to be found, and what was presented as absinthe in Europe was nothing like the beautiful liquid inside the intact antique bottles T.A. had managed to collect. He had to find out why and make it right.

Tell us how the image of Absinthe has changed through the years.

Like many, I wasn’t sure what to believe about absinthe. In 2000, I became the first to analyze a sample of antique absinthe, and my findings catalyzed a paradigm shift that uncovered truths and erased myths. When distilled true to tradition, authentic absinthe embodied a beautiful spirit that made an indelible impression on art and culture, including cocktail culture. Like the events which gave gin the nickname “mother’s ruin” in the mid-1700s London, absinthe’s reputation was tarnished by unscrupulous profiteers who made cheap, adulterated, and dangerous imitations, marketed primarily to poor alcoholics.

Learning the truth – that absinthe crafted according to traditional methods posed none of the harm claimed by the propaganda of the late 19th century – provided the basis for us to petition the TTB to repeal what had been a 95-year ban on the sale of absinthe in the US. The repeal was granted on March 5, 2007, the day LUCID Absinthe Supérieure was approved for US distribution. The sticking point had all been about perception: The TTB wanted no part of the outlandishly marketed, artificially flavored and chemically colored “absinthe” plaguing the EU market.

Earning the trust of the TTB required months of discussions. Even so, with no legal definition for absinthe, we wanted to establish the high ground and stake the claim that authentic absinthe, worthy of the best cocktail programs was distilled from 100% botanicals, with no sugar or fake colors (e.g. FD&C Yellow #5).

What would you like today’s bartenders to know about the spirit?

For decades, absinthe owned an authentic place in cocktail history and therefore deserves a place in modern cocktail creation. The original “Savoy Cocktail Book” (1930) includes dozens of cocktails that call for absinthe. Absinthe was an indelible part of American cocktail culture, an object of global export, and every decent cocktail bar in North America stocked it until 1912; every good cocktail book until Prohibition included it.

Today, when crafted according to authentic recipes, which don’t include sugar or artificial ingredients, absinthe is a powerful ingredient which can amplify cocktails and provide a depth of flavor customers want.

Bartenders are embracing strong flavors nowadays—tell us how Absinthe fits in?

When I first began distilling Jade absinthes in France more than 20 years ago, the world was awash in vodka and flavored vodka. Now that the tide has turned and the volume of agave spirits has eclipsed vodka, there are new opportunities to condition American palates toward strongly flavored spirits. We are witnessing a renaissance of classic Italian bitter spirits, aromatized wines and aperitifs, and absinthe stands among these. Americans have lagged European palates in embracing strong and stimulating herbal flavors, and this is a great opportunity for us to reclaim our pre-Prohibition identity of creating the most unique and beautiful cocktails by embracing strongly flavored spirits and modifiers, like absinthe.

How can bartenders use absinthe and why should they incorporate the spirit on beverage menus?

The French/Swiss absinthe service of dripping ice water into absinthe, like the Japanese tea ceremony, is pure art. The American equivalent was the famous absinthe frappé. As for classic cocktail mixology, C.F. Lawler remarks in The Mixicologist (1895), “the flavor of a cocktail is much improved by the addition of a small amount of absinthe, like cocktail hot sauce.” Absinthe adds dimension to a wide range of cocktails, even tiki drinks. Not only does the inclusion of absinthe add a measure of intrigue to a cocktail menu, it also adds a bit of pop that benefits an array of drinks. Experiment!

Where do you see the category headed in the future?

When we first reintroduced genuine absinthe in 2007, it was largely a vodka world. Absinthe mixology was an uphill battle and it was an effort for absinthe to be considered more than a “rinse.” Now, with a new generation of curious and creative bartenders entering the scene, absinthe is experiencing a renaissance. Having replicated vintage brands and traditions, I view our LUCID and Jade absinthes as staunch guardians of original pre-ban absinthe flavors and quality. Authentic absinthe will continue to play a strong role in modern cocktail culture on the merits of its storied history, uniqueness, and elegance.

Four Roses Distillery Wins World’s Best Single Barrel Bourbon

By | Mixology News

Four Roses distillery wins World’s Best Single Barrel Bourbon at 2024 World Whiskies Awards.

Four Roses, the heritage Kentucky bourbon brand dating back to 1888, has received the high honors of World’s Best Single Barrel Bourbon, Best Kentucky Single Barrel Bourbon, and Best Kentucky Small Batch Bourbon at the 2024 World Whiskies Awards.

“We are deeply thrilled to be recognized with such prestigious accolades from the esteemed World Whiskies Awards,” says Brent Elliott, Master Distiller at Four Roses.

“These awards truly reflect our team’s unwavering dedication and passion to consistently making high-quality bourbons. Hand-selecting each barrel is a meticulous process, so to be highly awarded in both the Single Barrel and Small Batch Bourbon categories is an extraordinary honor.”

Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon Won Best Single Barrel Bourbon at the 2024 World Whiskies Awards

Results of the competition are determined by a distinguished panel of industry experts, leading journalists, and specialist drink retailers who evaluate entries through three rounds of blind tastings. Whiskeys that successfully navigate the initial two rounds of tasting are awarded “Best” within their respective categories. Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon and Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon were the sole winners from the first two rounds of their respective categories. Following a rigorous third round of tasting, the ultimate accolade of “World’s Best” is granted to one exceptional whiskey in each category.

Four Roses is unique in their approach to producing bourbon. Four Roses utilizes five proprietary yeast strains combined with two separate mashbills to create ten unique recipes, which provide the basis for variety and consistency in their bourbons. Its Single Barrel Bourbon is hand-selected by Elliott, one barrel at a time, to create a complex and full-bodied high rye bourbon. In addition to receiving the coveted titles of World’s Best Single Barrel and Best Kentucky Single Barrel, Four Roses Single Barrel also received a gold medal.

Another expression in Four Roses’ line up that is overseen by Elliott is the Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon. Elliott combines four distinct bourbon recipes that have been expertly selected at peak maturation to achieve balance, making the Small Batch Bourbon an excellent premium yet approachable bourbon to be served on the rocks or mixed with cocktails. In addition to receiving the title of Best Kentucky Small Batch Bourbon, Four Roses Small Batch also took home a gold medal.

Savor Mediterranean Flavor at Conca Del Sogno, West Hollywood Pop-up, Starring Malfy Gin

By | Mixology News

Deep in the heart of West Hollywood, one of America’s most vibrant and exciting cities, lies Conca Del Sogno, an exclusive limited edition pop-up dining experience hosted by Norah Restaurant.

Conca Del Sogno, the elite beach club hailing from the world-renowned Amalfi Coast in Nerano, Italy, delivers its authentic Italian cuisine straight from the Mediterranean Sea.

Further inspired by the historical Amalfi Coast, is Malfy Gin, the star of the show. It unifies this unique taste bud adventure by marrying every flavor together. Offering a vast array of flavors, its versatile gin lineup includes four variants: Con Limone, Con Arancia, Gin Rosa and Originale. Each is distilled with a specialized blend of botanicals, such as hand-picked juniper, sun-ripened Italian lemons, pink grapefruits, oranges and blended with Italian water.

Upon arriving to the chef’s special five course presentation, we were greeted with impeccable customer service, along with the first of four well balanced and masterful Malfy Gin libations. All ingredients were specifically chosen to enhance each gin’s elegant list of botanicals. A few of the concoctions were presented in specialty Malfy Gin branded copa glasses, colored alluringly blue like the sea.

To open the festivities, we enjoyed The Ravello, consisting of Con Limone, Malfy’s lemon flavored gin, as well as prosecco, Lillet Blanc, and basil syrup. It paired stunningly with our first appetizer, Calamari e Zucchine Fritti. The squid and zucchini were fried to perfection with a lemon aioli sauce that was to die for. The Sgroppino also featured Malfy Con Limone, and exquisitely coincided with the following two courses. The Insalata Conca contained fresh tomatoes, olives, capers and shaved celery, all bursting with flavor.

The Tartare di Tonno was an exotic and very fresh take on tuna tartare, entailing green apple and basil. We were especially blown away by our main course, Spaghetti alla Nerano, accompanied by flavors of zucchini, basil, black pepper, and pecorino romano. We loved matching this with The Amalfi, a beautiful rendition of a Negroni, using Malfy Originale and blood orange. Lastly, their pink lemonade spritz featured Malfy Gin Rosa, a dazzling grapefruit flavored gin. It danced off the tongue and marvelously complemented the luscious Berry Panna Cotta dessert.

These carefully crafted Malfy Gin cocktail selections flawlessly reflect the vivacious spirit of the breathtaking Italian Coast. So instead of spending thousands of dollars to visit, let the Amalfi Coast come to you. This immaculate experience is outstanding and would be wonderful to share on a date or an enchanting evening out with friends.

Book your reservation now so you don’t miss this palate expanding rendezvous. This is the past, present, and future simultaneously. This is Malfy at Conca Del Sogno. See you there, if you dare…
