BARBARA COBEY MIXOLOGIST SARENTOS
Going to a video taping gig is cool, especially when my gigs are culinary related, I do get to meet cool people, restaurant owners, chefs, and of course cool women that mix drinks, now they aren't bartenders, they're mixologists. That's right... MIX OLO GIST.
The shoot went off well, and got about 15 minutes of raw footage of Barbara Cobey, a seasoned mixologist from Sin City, where she trained exclusively at one of Las Vegas's premier resorts and casino. She's been in the culinary profession since age 15, and just by talking to her, she knows the business, though soft spoken, and charming, you get the sense that, if you mess with her, she can slash you like a sushi chef slicing grade A sashimi.
Barbara demonstrated some really cool drinks that I got to sample, and since I've been alcohol free for a few years, a bit of tasting does set off a slight buzz. The day was nice, sun was out, a very light breeze blew, the ocean was blue and tempting. (See Pic at top)
The four drinks that I filmed her do will be broadcast on Akaku TV as soon as I get a chance to edit it and hand it to my buddies at programming.
(Picture at left) Siren's Song. And being mostly a beer drinker in the past mostly cheap ales and mid range lagers, I found the Siren's Song pretty good, was it my feminine side? Ha ha, but Barbara rocks man! She does. She also made a few other drinks, like the Makawao Mule, made with a special house Hibiscus Hawaiian Ginger Syrup that was very pleasing, it kinda woke me up.
And a Brazilian influenced Caipirinha, and the orange drink you see below the Mango Tini.
The Mango Tini is great for women who want something sweet when they're sweating it out on the beach, working the tan, sweet and cool, the taste of tropical madness MANGO! This drink is perfect for the visitors from the cold country.
