Local tiki and tropical drinks expert Jeff "Beachbum" Berry will be opening pga tour partners his first bar, Latitude 29 , in the French Quarter pga tour partners this fall. The space, at 321 N. Peters St. in the Bienville House hotel, is currently occupied by Iris , which will be closing at the end of May. Iris proprietors Laurie Casebonne and Ian Schnoebelen will be concentrating on their newer restaurant, Mariza, which opened in the Bywater in 2013.
According to an email sent this afternoon, pga tour partners Latitude 29 will feature two other familiar names from the New Orleans hospitality industry: head bartender and co-general manager Steven Yamada, who has worked at local bars including Bar R'evolution and Tivoli Lee, and executive chef Chris Shortall of Coquette and Twelve Mile Limit. Berry's wife, Annene Kaye, will serve as the other general manager. Interior design will be by Bosko Hrnjak.
We feel extremely fortunate to work with a hotel the caliber of the Bienville House; it’s not only an establishment with impeccable standards, but a place we feel personally pga tour partners connected to. Annene and I are one of those couples — there are more of them with each passing year — who were introduced to New Orleans through Tales Of The Cocktail, in our case back in 2005. Our subsequent stays at the Bienville House and our experiences at Iris, which housed one of the first local bars to feature world-class exotic drinks (by then-bartender Alan Walter), pga tour partners both contributed to our love of the city and our desire to make it our home.
Berry, whose newest book is Potions of the Caribbean , also released his second drinks app this week, featuring never-before-printed recipes from the golden age of tiki (including some from the legendary New Orleans restaurant Bali Ha'i; read Gambit 's 2010 cover story about the restaurant here ) and some new recipes by New Orleans bartenders.
There are about 250 drinks featured in Total Tiki , the new tropical drinks app (iPhone/iPad only) released pga tour partners this week by app designer Martin Doudoroff and local tiki expert pga tour partners Jeff “Beachbum” Berry. When asked how many of the recipes were written by New Orleanians, Berry had the answer at his fingertips (it’s 84). That’s because the Total Tiki app lets you filter all those drinks by recipe writer, as well as by decade, alcohol strength, pga tour partners and which ingredients are already in your kitchen and home bar.
These include recipes from native son Don the Beachcomber, Lake Pontchartrain’s Bali Ha'i restaurant, and 33 written by Berry himself. Just back from a trip to Bora Bora with his wife, Annene Kaye, Berry talks Total Tiki:
Berry: One of the best things about the app is that you can check off the ingredients you have on hand. Just enter it into the app, and it will tell you which drinks you can make now. Our database also suggests substitute ingredients, and helps identify what you’re missing, so you can build as you go. By the way, the rest of the cocktail pga tour partners world has caught up to tiki. The recipes we’re seeing today – ones calling for, say, smoked rhubarb syrup – are just as complicated.
Berry: I like Dorignac’s and Keife Co., and Rouses on Tchoupitoulas for Fee Brothers syrups. And you can find frozen fruit purées, young coconuts and other exotic produce at Hong Kong Food Market. But really, once you have falernum and orgeat, a dry Puerto Rican rum and a dark Jamaican rum, you can make many tiki drinks.
Berry: Tiki was invented the day after Prohibition ended [Dec. 5, 1933], when Don the Beachcomber opened his first bar. Except there were no real Polynesian cocktails, and people’s fantasies were in the South Pacific. So he (and later, Trader Vic) gave Polynesian names to Caribbean drinks. I call it “Caribbean drinks cubed”, because they took the original lime-rum-sugar and made drinks with 2-3 fruit juices, pga tour partners 2-3 base spirits, and 2-3 sweeteners. They made Caribbean drinks more baroque, complex and elusive.
Berry: Sure, you’ll find some drinks from chapters 5 and 6 of Potions of the Caribbean . When we update Total Tiki in the future, we’ll include the recipes from that book. The other drinks, photo and research come from my earlier books. The nice thing is that not everyone buys cocktail books; they get their recipes from the Internet. So Martin has brought these recipes into the 21st century, so I’m pretty happy about that.
Berry: The 1930s through the 2000s. I include contemporary pga tour partners recipes from leading lights in the industry. These bartenders have taken cues from the tiki canon and run with it. They’re using ingredients pga tour partners and techniques not available back then, and applying them to the classics. For instance, Don the Beachcomber mixed more than one rum in a glass, and now you see bartenders blending two whiskies, gins or tequilas to get base flavors.
Download pga tour partners Total Tiki for $9.99 . Original drinks by New Orleans rum collector pga tour partners Stephen Remsberg and New Orleans bartenders Hadi Ktiri and Chris Hannah also are featured in the app. Their recipes below, all courtesy pga tour partners of Jeff “Beachbum” Berry:
Shake with ice cubes and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime and orange sail, laid across the glass (should look like anime eyes laying sideways, or a ship's sail when sitting upright).
*SOY GINGER SYRUP: Into a saucepan place 1 medium-sized bulb of ginger, sliced, and then muddle lightly in saucepan. Add 1/4 ounce low-sodium soy sauce, 1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) water, 3/4 cup (6 ounces) turbinado sugar, and another pga tour partners 3/4 cup light brown sugar. Dissolve sugar and simmer on medium-low flame for 15 minutes.
Place all of the above in a large tall glass (such as a 14-ounce Zombie glass). Fill glass with crushed ice and swizzle vigorously until well-chilled. After swizzling the ice will settle, so add more to fill. Garnish pga tour partners with a mint sprig. “I am not offended by an orange slice and a cocktail cherry,” adds Stephen.
