54 Issue70 / 2014 FOOD guestlist.net JOIN THE REVOLUTION: FESTIVE FUN, TURKEY SHOTS AND COCKTAIL CLASSES Guestlist went down to the social hot-spot AKA Revolution Bar, to experience their brand new festival cocktail masterclass extravaganza. The revolution - as any hospitable revolution should - started off with some interesting cocktail food that included sliders with a spicy 'suicide' sauce and popping candy meatballs, Trash Fries, and of course, a few a couple of glasses of champagne. A highlight was the classic Cosmopolitan paired with a Christmas pudding. I picked up tips from experienced mixologists and even turned orange zest into a fleeting flare! The point of that was to create a zesty aftertaste around the rim of the glass. It's tips like that that made the master-class all the more interesting. Before we went on to choose a cocktail we wanted to make from the menu, our taste buds were privy to a limited edition Christmas Cookie Cocktail that was paired with a Christmas tree shaped cookie. Another standout feature of the master-class was the exotic selection of shots. We tried vodka shots with eggnog, chocolate cookie, and – wait for it- turkey & stuffing! Revolution started with a buzzing atmosphere, added passionate bartenders, threw in some funky cocktails, mixed with fun games and created a formula for the perfect festive night! Now that's a revolution we can get behind! AND SOME PRODUCTS WE COULD LIVE WITHOUT… CHRISTMAS PUDDING With origins in Medieval England, we think this Crimbo pudding could do with some modernisation. It's been a long while since boiled puddings got the pulse racing. When there's a choice of our beloved Yule Log and a Christmas Pud for dessert, it's usually only Granny who sticks with the traditional. HESTON Since Heston Blumenthal seemingly sold his name to Waitrose, we've seen an array of Christmas offerings aside his name. From the hidden orange Christmas pudding to the pine sugar dusted mince pies, expect to pay for the pine. Pretention at it's finest. Ok, we love mini rolls as much as the next person – but Cadbury couldn't be any lazier when it comes to festive versions of their mini rolls. Described as 'Chocolate flavoured sponge with a vanilla flavouring, coated in milk chocolate', this sounds all too familiar Mr. Cadbury and we encourage you to up your game.
