cocktail competition

The Made in Yorkshire Cocktail Competition 2011

The Made in Yorkshire Cocktail Competition 2011 was designed, organised and promoted by SLB Public Relations Ltd with support from Yorkshire’s official tourism agency, Welcome to Yorkshire

SLB Public Relations and Welcome to Yorkshire invited York-shire based bartedners to create an original and delicious cock-tail recipe for The Made in Yorkshire Cocktail Competition 2011.

Bartenders were required to submit a cocktail recipe using at least one ingredient from the county; whether it be rhubarb, ale from a brewery in the Yorkshire Dales or a generous dash of Sheffield’s notorious relish - creativity, originality and quaffabil-ity were key.

The concept behind the competition was to encourage the use of Yorkshire’s superb local produce, alongside the national promotion of Yorkshire’s finest bartenders; helping to establish Yorkshire as a cosmopolitan, creative and contemporary destination.

The competition was held over three rounds:Round One was an initial screening round where competitors were asked to submit their entries via email. From these submissions, the 30 highest scoring recipes were selected to progress to Round Two.

Round Two consisted of the 30 semi-finalists producing their cocktail in front of local guest judges in Leeds and York. The top ten from across the county went through to the final

Round Three took place at the Yorkshire Day event at The SKYLOUNGE on the 1st August 2011. The final ten competitors produced their recipe in front of an audience and the expert judges.

BaByliss PRO Backstage at House of Holland AW2011

BaByliss PRO is a regular backstage at the international fashion weeks with their styling products recognised as being amongst the best in the business and used by some of the world’s most renowned stylists. This season, BaByliss PRO is pleased to announce its creative partner-ship back-stage, and as official sponsor at the House of Holland AW11 London Fashion Week show on Saturday 19th February.

The BaByliss PRO team was led by creative ambassador Adam Reed of Percy and Reed who created the beautiful and striking looks with a collection of BaByliss PRO styling products to compliment Henry Holland’s individual designs. Adam worked closely with Henry to design styles that added an element of theatre to the show and that are as dynamic as the collection.

Adam Reed is joined by an impressive BaByliss PRO show team of some of the UK’s rising hairdressing stars includ-ing this year’s F.A.M.E Team; Leah Walton, Natalia Max-well and Altin Ismaili, plus some of the most respected hairdressers in the UK including Dom Capel and Harriet White as well as Percy & Reed’s leading stylists.

Adam and his team used hero products from the BaByliss PRO collection including Conical Wands, pioneered in the UK by BaByliss PRO. Adam describes the styles as “A progression from this season’s high, structured styles and a move towards a softer, more deconstructed feel.”

“It was great to work with Adam on the hair and using the BaByliss Pro tools we were able to create a soft textured ponytail with a fresh wintery glow that complemented the collection perfectly”Henry Holland, Designer – House of Holland

ONGOING PROJECTS FOR 2011

The Portobello Star Launches a Ginstitute & Portobello Road Gin

The Ginstitute:London has enjoyed centuries of a long, and often torrid, love affair with Madame Geneva or to put it more concisely: Gin. The Ginstitute and The Still Room aim to tell the wonderful story of distilled London Gin in an

entertaining and educational way.

The Ginstitute will open daily and for free to casual visitors, by appointment at night and, for cocktail for the more discerning drinker on Friday and

Saturday evenings.

Housed on the first floor of The Portobello Star - a building which has served beverages on and off since possibly as long ago as 1740 - The Ginstitute boasts: a small re-creation of a Victorian Gin Palace Bar- complete with a staggering selection of Gins, cabinets full of interesting historical Gin artefacts, including many antique bottles, vintage advertising pieces, archive materials from the most famous distillers of London Gin, adverts from the 19th and 20th Century, wonderful old cocktail books and even the business card of Professor Jerry Thomas- one of the pioneers of

the cocktail and author of the world’s first cocktail recipe book.

The story doesn't end there though, as we also bring to you:

The Still Room:Housed on the top floor of the same building is London’s smallest working Copper Pot Gin Distillery, "Copernicus" our beautiful, diminutive pot still produces fine flavoured spirits made in the traditional way using centuries old techniques and technologies. Visitors to The Still Room have the oppor-tunity to sample, taste and blend 25 different single botanical flavoured distillates (spirits). These are the individual flavours that when combined in different proportions make up the wonderfully diverse selection of Gins

that are available to us today.

Not only do visitors to The Still Room get to sample all the components of gin, one at a time, they also, under the guidance of our Curator and Master Distiller, Jake Burger, have the opportunity to choose a selection of these botanic distillates to be blended into a bottle of their own unique recipe Gin to take away with them and share with their families and friends at home.

This week's bar review: Oporto The spirit of rock and roll lives in Leeds's premier 'rocker inn', where the cocktail menu isn't nearly as rough and ready as the fun loving clientele Pip McCormac Published: 15 May 2011

Rock’n’roll is not a concept fashion loves right now. Gothic? Possibly. Disco? De�initely. But good old-fashioned rock? That hasn’t been on the style radar since Liam Gallagher got together with an Appleton sister, brought out a range of dubious streetwear and was generally derided for being over the (Primrose) hill. But away from the fashion pages the spirit of rock lives on — of going out, listening to bands and generally sticking it to the man by drinking too much and dancing too hard. And nowhere is this more true than at Oporto, Leeds’s premier rocker inn. What was it like? With a sign behind the bar warning that “Stage Divers and Bar Dancers Do So at Their Own Risk”, this was not a sophisticated cocktail bar — and Oporto was all the better for it. Pretty boys with ponytails and tattooed sleeves served drinks to grungy girls wearing more leather than you’d see at a DFS sale. Speaking of sofas, each corner was decked out with a squashy banquette, perfect for the libertines of Leeds to let down their long hair. Music was loud without being obtrusive, and everyone was having a good time.

“I wish every night was this much fun,” I said to my friend the Student, who had warned this wasn’t a “student bar” (thank God). “Cheers to that,” he yelled back, downing another shot of Jägermeister. Yes, it was that kind of place.
