The Bar Journal

The last 12 mouths have been truly unbelievable, crazy hours at work, long travel from one side to another of the planet with tasting, seminar, cocktails and many dreams!! And now seems like as good a time as any to have a look back at what’s happened in 2012…

We started in January with the legacy of American Bar at SAVOY and Joe Gilmore mixing a drink behind the stick at early stage of 90 years old. We continued in February with Legacy Cocktail Competition and the celebration of BACARDI 150 anniversary.

With the spring travel started with Bar Show and trade events, this year was absolutely amazing be able to vist Japan for the first Bar Show and end up in NYC for MCC before to pop by Manchester for the Boutique Bar Show.

In July with the italian family in NOLA we celebrated the SPIRIT OF ITALY and in September un Amaro per Amore in Moscow. By October we all meet up in Berlin for the BBC at Club de Cantineros and we finished in style with the launch of MARTINI SPIRITO in Russia last week, a project that took 2 years of my young career but now proudly reality.

I would love to wish a Merry Christmas to all the friends, chaps, colleagues and lover drinker that have been a great support during the 2012

SALUTE!
