Parched March- Can you visit 30 Bars in 30 Days? Responsibly of course!

 Its' back! Parched March, sets into Sydney as of the 1st of March.  

As binge drinking continues to curse our nation- Parched March is here to show us that we don't need to get blotto to enjoy a drink. 

Take a leaf out of the French's book and enjoy a little not a lot, focus on flavour not on getting f&$@ed...   In doing so you never know what you might find.  


The beautiful thing about Sydney is that 90% of the small bars all provide a fantastic bar food offering to complement their cocktails, so get on board support the cause that is not only teaching Australians about responsible drinking but giving our little furry friends some help at the sametime.


Log-on to the www.parchedmarch.com  check out the list of bars that are participating - sponsor a friend or ambassador or even better still get into the bars and buy the special Parched March Cocktails - where 100% profit goes to the animal welfare league.

I am personally going to be doing my  bit and hitting up 30 bars in 30 days... As I'm on a quest to find the best Bloody Mary in Sydney - my drinks are going to ALL be versions of this amazing morsel.


I'll be donating $5 a bar to the cause of Parched March


SO stay tuned for images and recipes on this blog of the best Sydney has to offer.. 


And in the meantime don't forget to ALWAYS drink responsibly 

ABSOLUT ELYX - IT'S HERE

10 years in the making and 8 months in the waiting... ABSOLUT ELYX is finally on the shores of Australia and i'm happy to say it was worth the wait.

I know some of you might think i am little bias, however you'll have to trust me on this one - the velvety silky texture of this little beauty is so soft, one of Sydney's top bartenders asked me why he would bother serving it with ice, it's perfect just on its own!

Copper Distillation for a Natural Pure Taste 

Each batch of ABSOLUT ELYX is produced in a hand-operated still from 1929, with columns, pumps and hand-forged pipes made of copper. This vintage still plays an integral part in the making of ABSOLUT ELYX, since it fully makes use of copper’s exceptional and natural purifying qualities.

 A Handcrafted Vodka

ABSOLUT ELYX is the result of genuine craftsmanship and manual operation in every detail of the process. The old 1929 copper column still is only operated by a selected few, who inherited their knowledge and expertise from past generations of spirit and vodka makers, every batch of ABSOLUT ELYX is carefully tasted and approved before it is bottled.

 

Natural Ingredients

ABSOLUT ELYX is a single-batch vodka, made from natural ingredients. Every part of the production, from the planting of the first seed, all the way through distillation and bottling, is performed within a 25 km radius in the Åhus region of Southern Sweden.

ABSOLUT ELYX COCKTAILS

This is definitely a vodka that is drank best on the rocks or in a martini.  Smooth and full bodied make it perfect for the more spirited cocktails, see below for a few options..

For more information check out the facebook/ABSOLUTAU and there is a tab for ELYX that has a list of where this guy is stocked so you can try for yourself.
