Because of the reduced emphasis on tipping here, many European bartenders are not as fast as they could be, hence what may look like basic advice is sorely needed in some markets. And at the end of the presentation I made myself a Ritz with Remy XO, Piper Rare and a 38,000 euro diamond-encrusted shaker! Hi John Claude, here it is!

Ed - I probably heard it wrong. I don't have it on me, but have you read their book yet?

Rhum agricole on the other hand is never made from a pasteurized or cooked juice. Rhum agricole didn't exist as we know it in 1640 but rum - sugar cane distillates - were made long before 1627.
