Seminars Ginfes 2022
Ingredients as the key to the perfect cocktail
15:00 - 15:45
speaker: František Holeček, Fever-Tree ambassador for UPB company
The way to the perfect cocktail leads through quality ingredients. That’s why, it is necessary to pay attention to every ingredient, which is used. As you can see through this masterclass, high quality is the main priority for Fever-Tree. This masterclass will focus on the history and processing of specific ingredients that are essential to the production of Fever-Tree. In the masterclass you will not only learn more about the story of quinine as a key ingredient in every tonic, but also about other ingredients, including oranges from Mexico and ginger from Nigeria.
The seminar will be held in Czech language.
The Asian Gin Route - from Japan to India
16:00 - 16:45
speaker: Kryštof Hordina, UPB Whisk(e)y ambassador and huge fan of Nikka brand
Come and enrich your 'diet' and discover the history, development and use of gins working with a certain 'wow effect',
In Europe, we have been riding on wave of gin popularity for some time, but now some of the attention is shifting to Asia, where the spirit is gaining much popularity and beginning to follow on the heels of the more successful whisky in the region. As a result, of course, new brands and products are being born. The Nikka coffey gin and Amrut Nilgiris brands will introduce you the pioneers, which are traditionally Japan and India, but you can expect new, exotic gins from Thailand, Vietnam or the Philippines.
The seminar will be held in Czech language.
Japanese highball - simple perfection
17:00 - 17:45
speaker: Peter Bobula, Beam Suntory Brand Ambassador
On its surface, the highball is one of the simplest cocktails out there. Yet when perfected, it turns into a delicate and refreshing libation that’s more complex than it appears.
Precise preparation, meaningful ingredients, the right ratio and a lot of love. Perfect highballs need all this. That's exactly what you get at Roku Gin bar. After this seminar, you will enjoy their simple perfection even more.
The seminar will be held in Czech language.
Maison Villevert Gins
