Jacob Grier and Chris Churilla led the way, mixing all sorts of soon to be named cocktails, to wow savvy mixologists from all over Portland. The talk of the night was a Ramos Gin Fizz. I believe the conversation started as, "Hey Jake, Make me a flip of some sort", as I kindly said, "how about a fizz, I really don't need a yolk." Hence the start of the shake off! Chris and Jacob, filled shakers and started timers; producing some of the most perfect and well thickened takes on a Ramos Gin Fizz ever. Many of the attending enthusiasts were buzzed into realizing that the combination of a good cocktail and Organic Nation Gin, yielded a new found love. </div><div>Cheers to the art of the Cocktail! </div><div><br /></div><div>Melodie</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Ramos Gin Fizz</b></div><div>1 1/2 oz. gin</div><div>1 Tbsp. simple syrup (or agave)</div><div>1/2 oz. fresh-squeezed lemon juice</div><div>1/2 oz. fresh-squeezed lime juice</div><div>1 egg white</div><div>1 oz. heavy cream</div><div>3 drops orange flower water</div><div>1 oz. club soda</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.drinkspirits.com/gin/ramous-gin-fizz/">Check out Geoff K's reflections of the evening. </a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7650733569696035129-7345742773692733918?l=organicnationspirits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NWfoodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17099902223819390794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650733569696035129.post-44166332096295175602010-02-24T17:07:00.000-08:002010-03-09T16:54:52.911-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZC7UQvaJ0GA/S4XNmmkyWRI/AAAAAAAAAVE/4TZ-JvBgad8/s1600-h/logoflowers.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 70px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZC7UQvaJ0GA/S4XNmmkyWRI/AAAAAAAAAVE/4TZ-JvBgad8/s320/logoflowers.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441981787820677394" /></a><div>Join Organic Nation Spirits, along with a abundance of other 'green minded' businesses in Central Oregon Feb 25 at 5pm at the <a href="http://www.sunriver-resort.com/spa/oregon-spa-resorts.php">Sage Spa</a> at the Sunriver Resort. </div><div>'<i>Green Drinks</i>' is the only networking event in Central Oregon dedicated to businesses and the environment.

Of the teleplay and two films based on this book, the signature cocktail is mentioned twice between the three - in the 2006 Casino Royale film: when Bond orders it at the poker table (and several others follow suit), and when Bond states that he named the drink the Vesper, because once he tasted it, it was all he wanted to drink. The cocktail is also mentioned by its ingredients in Quantum of Solace, and Bond refers to it by name later in the film.</div><div>Because Kina Lillet has not been available since the 1960s (the name was changed to "Lillet Blanc", in the 1980s the quantity of quinine in the product was reduced, removing its bitter aftertaste), its mention in the recipe in the two movies mentioned above is anachronistic.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ironically, Vesper means 'evening' in Classical Latin.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">Wikipedia</a>,</div><div>Melodie</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7650733569696035129-3625980616042312443?l=organicnationspirits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NWfoodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17099902223819390794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650733569696035129.post-32346702980506453772010-01-06T14:26:00.000-08:002010-02-06T15:43:56.213-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZC7UQvaJ0GA/S0UOdWX6rFI/AAAAAAAAASA/ku8neCV7ykA/s1600-h/Gogreenexpo.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 60px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZC7UQvaJ0GA/S0UOdWX6rFI/AAAAAAAAASA/ku8neCV7ykA/s320/Gogreenexpo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423757223622519890" /></a><div>Go Green Expo ( www.GoGreenExpo.com ) is one of the nation's leading eco-trade shows for both business owners and consumers featuring the latest earth-friendly products and services.

Veteran mixologist Justin Akins opened the doors of Vintage in July, and patrons and press have welcomed his vision and taste.</div><div> </div><div>Akins cut his teeth at Trebol, the Oaxacan-inspired North Albina eatery. Taking cues from Trebol’s quality and sustainable business practices, he’s distilled a former SE Stark wine bar into an intimate lounge. Pre-prohibition cocktail recipes mingle with the requisite two dollar Pabst, catering to both the refined palette, and the budget-conscious. The cuisine is modest and delectable, with a menu featuring panini and pizettas made from local organic ingredients.</div><div> </div><div>Vintage is located conveniently in the heart of the Montavilla neighborhood, a block from the Academy Theater and Ya Halla.
