a new story unfolds: Bitters & RYE cocktail club
when one door closes, another opens; when one
closes a door, to open another willingly and on both counts; no one knows what
is around the corner and that the whole of our lives is full of episodes and
possibilities...
this is how my November 2013, last year, but
just a few months ago, begun; as i was waiting for my new horizon to
materialise, my new horizon, so it seemed, was staring at me in the face...
my initial detachment, because of another
somewhat commitment, which i decided to abandon altogether and after a quasi
consideration, because it was far too corporate and bad for my creative spirit,
became a full on involvement.
and involved i became... seeing it as a new
opportunity, to correct past mistakes and start afresh, with more energy,
passion and creativity, applying a solid background of experience and learning
new tricks continuously.
so, Bitters & RYE cocktail bar was
born.
in the bosom of PAESAN'S basement. an italian
cucina povera, with simple, authentic, italian food, made with love and true
italian style. i am not exaggerating. The place is good and organic and
established with love and vision.
And i like to get immersed in passion and
creativity, extending my own.
So, Bitters & RYE cocktail club is a
lounge speakeasy bar and what I am constantly creating, is an easy going and
inclusive and safe vibe for everyone, with tailor made cocktails and music,
events and happenings, art and films.
Stav B’s liquor continues its residency every
two months with different themes and lists and shenanigans:
i was inspired by the Italian factor. The
influences the Italians had on Americans and especially, the cocktails,
aperitivi, vintage and traditional Italian bitters and digestives.
I fell in love with all the amaro (bitters in
Italian), especially, the cynar, ramazzotti, the exquisite punt e mes and the
ever classic and classy antica formula, to name but a few.
I started making my own limoncello, which was
and still is a 7 day process joy and constantly perfecting my Sambuca recipe,
natural and aromatic, full of its proper flavour, but with a twist.
I infuse the vodka with three types of mushroom
and the gin with brine and delicious scilia olives.
The cocktail list is full of vintage Italian concoctions,
blended with my own twists and classics.
The homemade camomile cordial I made from
scratch and flowers, is part of a fresh mock, full of zing and scent from the
fields – I kid you not.
The experimentation continues and so is the
life of the bar, full of warmth, love, passion, creativity and wonderful people…
To be continued…
