Tech: Mixed Cocktails App

Jamie Oliver and Bacardi Rum team up to create a “one-stop-shop” for home mixology.

_________________________________

imageBacardi is leading the way to simplify cocktail-making with two new platforms designed to make it easy for consumers to create their own cocktails. Through a fully integrated, cross-portfolio partnership with Jamie Oliver Group, the family-owned drinks company is poised to bring the art of cocktail making to the food and drink DIY-ers who want to learn how to make their favorite cocktails at home. With the introduction of the Bacardi Mixed Cocktails app and MixedCocktails.com website, at-home hosts will now have the savvy to expertly craft their favorite cocktails at their fingertips.

“Bacardi aims to provide people with the drinks know-how, inspiration and tools they need to experiment and have a go at creating great-tasting cocktails at home using their favorite brands,” says Andy Gibson, Chief Marketing Officer of Bacardi and President of Bacardi Global Brands. “There are more occasions where people are entertaining at home and we want to make those experiences more enjoyable, as well as delicious.”

For 14 years, chef and campaigner Jamie Oliver has made cooking delicious food accessible to the home chef through his many television series, best-selling cookbooks, Jamie magazine, and most recently, the online FoodTube series. Now, he has turned his attention to the joy of cocktail-making and as a result he has joined up with Bacardi to foster the ever-growing cocktail culture and bring the fine art of cocktail making to kitchens everywhere.

The first result of the new partnership between Bacardi and the Jamie Oliver Group is the launch of DrinksTube, the companion YouTube channel to FoodTube. Bacardi is the exclusive spirits partner for DrinksTube and will co-create content that features various Bacardi Brand Ambassadors, mixologists and bartenders. The new channel is targeted directly at consumers who are searching online for cocktail information and inspiration. Each Friday, a new cocktail segment will debut on the channel, featuring classic cocktails designed by top Bacardi bartender Simone Caporale.

The partnership will also feature monthly content in Jamie Magazine and on jamieoliver.com, beginning with a series of Italian inspired recipes from Giuseppe Gallo. Additionally, Bacardi spirits will feature on the new cocktail menus in Jamie’s Italian restaurants in the UK (33 doors) and five locations internationally, delivering significant menu presence for Bacardi drinks and increased pouring rights for Bacardi products.

“We have an amazing opportunity through this partnership with Bacardi and its iconic brands to wake up the world to how easy it is to create quality drinks — classic or new,” says Jamie Oliver. “We want to inspire everyone with the passion to be more adventurous in their own homes, to realize that we can all be ‘home mixologists’ and to have fun with ingredients and flavors.”

Nimble Strong

A very “sexy, life useful and incredibly playable story-driven drink mixing video game” hits the market to rave reviews from bartenders and gamers alike.

____________________________________________________

I’ve been playing video games since the invention of the Atari 2600 in the late ’70’s.  Today’s games don’t hold my interest much, but I do admit to enjoying a game of golf with my 7 year old nephew on his Wii system.

Occasionally, a long airport layover or extended dentist office waiting room stay will inspire me to seek out an Iphone game to kill some time.  Never works!  They’re all pretty lame and after quickly losing interest I resort to checking emails and listening to music.

Well, a new Iphone game that combines Anime, gaming and cocktail mixing has just hit the market and may be just the ticket for spirits enthusiasts and cocktail aficionados.  It’s called Nimble Strong: Bartender in Training and over the course of several stages and themes, will teach you how to mix 75 drinks, in a fun video game format.

The story line follows a lazy twenty-something who is fresh out of a relationship and wandering aimlessly in his professional life.  He takes a job bartending at the local watering hole and the adventure begins from there.  Nearly 20 well-designed (and quirky) characters circulate through each scene, order drinks and challenge the users skills in a fast paced gaming configuration.  It’s a challenging and light-hearted way to learn about cocktail mixing and satisfy your video game fix at the same time.  All that, and it has a pretty awesome soundtrack.

Don’t get me wrong.  Nimble Strong is no substitute for a quality mixology course, drink books and years of experience behind a bar, but it is a fun app that you may learn a thing or two from……..and you can even score a printable certificate for your efforts.  Enjoy!

The Martha Stewart Cocktail App

Technology has helped the home bartender immensely over the last few years.  You can learn to stock a bar, mix a drink and buy premium liquor directly from your lap top.  Cocktail Apps for smart phones have taken off in a big way and make it convenient to keep all of your favorite drink manuals right in your pocket.  Check out iTunes, they’ve got a few hundred of them.  We were a bit surprised, however, when one of our self-proclaimed ‘computer geek’ readers suggested that we look into a new cocktail app that is being offered by none other than Martha Stewart.  That’s right, Martha has a cocktail app!  One that will teach you how to make a variety of classic cocktails, whip up some nice party snacks and even give you the ability to share all the fun on social media.  Here’s what Martha’s handlers are saying:
