The second is a short written test on a general knowledge about alcohol regulations. Third is a lengthy application form explaining your style, experiences, inspirations and arbitrary skills and creativity. The final call back will be in front of a camera ( screen test) to finalise the cast of the BARTESTANTS. JUDGES Three judge panel. Two are permanent.

EPISODE 1
14 BARTENDERS battle. Each are given 1 minute to create the most popular cocktail in North America. MARGARITA (with your own twist) The MARGARITA is a cocktail consisting of tequila mixed with orange-flavoured liqueur and lime or lemon juice, often served with salt on the glass rim. It is the most common tequila-based cocktail in the United States.[1] The drink is served shaken with ice, on the rocks, blended with ice (frozen MARGARITA) or without ice (straight up). There is no solid proof who "invented" the Margarita.[3] The most accepted of all stories is that the Margarita was invented in October 1941, at Hussong's Cantina[4] in Ensenada, Mexico, by bartender Don Carlos Orozco.[5] One slow afternoon, Don Carlos was experimenting with mixing new drinks when a prestigious visitor

3.

arrived: Margarita Henkel, the daughter of a German ambassador, who lived with her husband Roy Parodi near the city in Rancho Hamilton. Don Carlos offered the drink to Margarita, and named it after her for being the first person to taste it.[6] He concocted a mixture of equal parts tequila, orange liqueur and lime, served over ice in a salt-rimmed glass THE SHOW Host opens with a monologue.

Some drink aficionados believe the inspiration for the name was Hollywood star Mary Pickford[citation needed]. Others trace the name to a waitress named Mary who worked at a Chicago bar called the Bucket of Blood. Bloody Mary is also a ghost or witch featured in English folklore.

Lowest score BARTENDER of episode six is on thin ice. 2 BARTENDERS from GROUP 2 battle. CHALLENGE ONE: GIN GIMLET Four parts gin One part sweetened lime juice Mix and serve. Garnish with a slice of lime For the vodka gimlet, replace gin with vodka. As of the 1990s, maybe earlier, bartenders often answer requests for the gimlet with a

11.

vodka gimlet. As the gimlet was director Edward D. Wood, Jr.'s favorite cocktail, he often used the pseudonyms "Telmig Akdov" or "Akdov Telmig" (Vodka Gimlet spelled backwards) for his adult novels CHALLENGE TWO: NEGRONI The Negroni cocktail is made of one part gin, one part sweet vermouth, and one part bitters, traditionally Campari. It is considered an apéritif. While the drink's origins are unknown, the most widely reported account is that it was invented in Florence, Italy in 1919, at Caffè Casoni, ex Caffè Giacosa, now called Caffè Cavalli. Count Camillo Negroni invented it by asking the bartender, Fosco Scarselli, to strengthen his favorite cocktail, the Americano, by adding gin rather than the normal soda water. The bartender also added an orange garnish rather than the typical lemon garnish of the Americano to signify that it was a different drink.[1][2][3][4] After the success of the cocktail, the Negroni Family founded Negroni Distillerie in Treviso, Italy, and produced a ready-made version of the drink, sold as Antico Negroni 1919. One of the earliest reports of the drink came from Orson Welles in correspondence with the Coshocton Tribune while working in Rome on Cagliostro in 1947, where he described a new drink called the Negroni, "The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you. They balance each other." CHALLENGE THREE:

BATTLE OF THE WILD CARDS CHALLENGE ONE: SANGRIA FOR 20 PPL Sangria is a wine punch typical of Spain and Portugal, also consumed in Argentina and Uruguay. It normally consists of a wine, chopped fruit, a sweetener, and a small amount of added brandy. To be specific, a wine is a light, dry, young, high acid, unoaked, inexpensive wine, usually red wine due to Sangria's connotation with the word blood. Other reds that work well include French styles such as Gamay or Beaujolais, and Italian styles such as Grignolino, Bardolino, Dolcetto, Freisa or Lambrusco. In the case of fruits, they are chopped or sliced such as orange, lemon, lime, apple, peach, melon, berries, pineapple, grape and mango. A sweetener such as honey, sugar, simple syrup, orange juice is added. Instead of brandy, other liquids such as Seltzer, Sprite or 7 Up may be added.

EPISODE 11 (QUARTER

FINALS)

Lowest score BARTENDER of episode ten is 86 6 BARTENDERS from GROUP 1 and GROUP 2 remain. 6 BARTENDERS battle. (KITCHEN LOCATION) CHALLENGE ONE: THE MAKING OF TONIC WATER •4 cups of water •3 cups pure cane sugar •3 Tbsp quinine (powdered cinchona bark) •6 Tbsp. powdered citric acid – check bulk bins at grocery stores •3 limes – zested and juiced •3 stalks lemongrass, roughly chopped ¼ tsp Kosher salt

16.

1 tsp whole allspice berries Make a simple syrup by bringing the sugar and water to a boil until the sugar dissolves. Turn heat to low. Add quinine, citric acid, lemongrass, lime zest and lime juice. Stir and simmer for 25 mins. Powder should be dissolved and syrup thin. Remove from heat and cool. Strain out any large chunks, then filter through cheesecloth or coffee filters to refine. This can take quite a bit of time and many filters. It helps to let the mix stand over night in the refrigerator to settle out some of the fines, and then carefully pour the liquid off of the top. Pour into sterilized glass bottles, cover and store in refrigerator.

In the early-1960s she became a prominent British teenage model of swinging sixties London with others such as Penelope Tree.

Twiggy was initially known for her androgynous looks, large eyes, long eyelashes, thin build, and short hair.[2][3] In 1966, she was named “The Face of 1966” by the Daily Express[4] and voted British Woman of the Year.[5] By 1967, Twiggy had modelled in France, Japan, and the U.S., and landed on the covers of Vogue and The Tatler. Her fame had spread worldwide.[5]

After modelling, Twiggy went on to

Jacqueline Lee Bouvier "Jackie" Kennedy Onassis (pronounced /?d?æk'li?n 'li? 'bu?vie? 'k?n?di o?'næs?s/;[2] July 28, 1929 – May 19, 1994)[1] was the wife of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and served as First Lady of the United States during his presidency from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. Five years later she married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis; they remained married until his death in 1975. For the final two decades of her life, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis had a successful career as a book editor. She is remembered for her contributions to the arts and preservation of historic architecture, her style, elegance, and grace.[3][4] A fashion icon, her famous pink Chanel suit has become a symbol of her husband's assassination and one of the lasting images of the 1960s BRIGITTE BARDOT. Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot[1][2] (French: [b?i?it ba?do]; English: /'br?d??t b?r'do?/; born 28 September 1934) is a French former fashion model, actress, singer and animal rights activist.
