OK, how does this sound: Smirnoff Vodka goes in search of a new resident mixologist, a cocktail guru who can shake, stir, muddle and blend with the very best. They settle upon the rather dashing (can't have a dowdy pro representing after all) twenty-six year old, Cameron Bogue. Said young chap gets no less than $100K to travel the US in search of America's Cocktail Culture, what's new, hot, on the rise, and in people's glasses and tumblers. Ya, I know, AND IT'S HIS JOB!
The Las Vegas based cocktail craftsman uses his world-wide travels and his appreciation for fine culinary offerings as his inspiration. The man knows his libations and his recipes, crafted from local ingredients, a reflection of a region's lifestyle or climate, and all are sheer inspriation in a glass. I've been lucky enough to snag a copy of Cameron's Cocktail Consultant Trend Report, and the folks at Smirnoff are allowing me to share some of his latest creations with you. Stick around and get your ready to shake your shakers!
And if this wasn't enough excitement, two lads from Northern England have hit the airwaves here in Canada to share food, travel and a few hearty laughs with us on The Hairy Bikers' Cookbook. They put the fun back in food and travel television and the wow factor back into cooking on the road! Bravo boys and welcome to my living room!
