I\u2019m shaking it up again \u2014 Season 2 of Kathy Casey\u2019s Liquid Kitchen\u2122<\/sup>
\n<\/strong>I am so excited to have just completed shooting the second season of my cocktail show Kathy Casey\u2019s Liquid Kitchen<\/a> with Small Screen Network! Keep your eye out for these tasty cocktail episodes, which air every Tuesday!<\/p>\n

\"Envy\"<\/p>\n

A sneak peek at my Envy cocktail!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve seen my recent tweets<\/a> then you saw some of the inside scoop while in mid-filming. This season is full of great cocktail recipes from inspired classics to fun & inventive cocktails, including a DIY raspberry syrup that I use in a Clover Thyme Club as well as a Whole Fruit Strawberry Daiquiri<\/a> and a Cherry Chocolate Bourbon Spirited Milkshake! To kick-off the first season, I invited world-renowned mixologist Charlotte Voisey<\/a> to show us how to make her Port of Mischief Punch<\/a>. Special episodes also include a fun trip to Eastern Washington and Oregon where I demystify the maraschino cherry and take you on a tour of how they\u2019re made from orchard to jar. I hope you will tune in weekly for some Liquid Kitchen inspiration. Cheers!<\/p>\n

Imbibing Books!<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re a cocktail enthusiast, then check out these must-have new books! Food & Wine just published their Food & Wine: Cocktails 2011<\/a> and is available now. I penned the vodka chapter which is loaded with recipes from myself as well as guest mixologists Anu Apte from the Seattle\u2019s Rob Roy<\/a> and H. Joseph Ehrmann of San Francisco\u2019s Elixir<\/a>.\u00a0 Some of my faves for summer include my Tea\u2019Thyme <\/a>and Pineapple Pico<\/a> cocktails.<\/p>\n

\"Food_Wine\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spirit Industry icon Gary Regan<\/a> recently published his Annual Manual for Bartenders, 2011<\/a>. After careful research and testing, \u201cGaz\u201d picked his top 101 mixologists recipes!\u00a0 It\u2019s an amazing book for any mixologist or budding bartender \u2013 I\u2019m honored to have my Bollywood cocktail recipe<\/a> included. If you love cocktails, make sure to sign up for Gaz\u2019s Ardent Spirit newsletter<\/a> \u2013 it\u2019s one of my faves!<\/p>\n

More Cocktails at the Manhattan Cocktail Classic
\n<\/strong>In May, I traveled to New York and imbibed with some of the best mixologists, bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts at the Manhattan Cocktail Classic<\/a>! Along with famed mixologists Charlotte Voisey and Jamie Boudreau, we led an informative and interesting seminar called \u201cThree Mixologists, Three Cocktails, Three Ways or Cocktail Menage a Trois!\u201d<\/a> We each took three classic cocktails and put our special spin to them. You can see a video of our demonstrations on Small Screen Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

IACP\u2014International Association of\u00a0 Culinary Professionals
\n<\/strong>This past June my Culinary Associate Heather Jones and I \u00a0traveled south to Austin, Texas for this annual conference. This is a worldwide industry event inviting culinary experts from all areas (chefs, restaurateurs, photographers, etc.) to come together, attend seminars and dish out tasty offerings. This year I led a specialty seminar called \u201cBetter to be Bitter<\/a>.\u201d People loved the hands-on a tasting and learning just what bitters are as well as how to use them\u2026 it really is better to be bitter!<\/p>\n

The IACP cookbook awards are always a must attend event. I am so excited for chef pal Lisa Dupar<\/a> whose cookbook Fried Chicken & Champagne<\/a> won Best First Book – a great honor! Congrats Lisa!<\/p>\n

After a week of seminars by legends like Shirley Corriher (making her famous lighter-than-air biscuits and teaching us all about baking science) to some fine Texas cuisine demos by luminary Chef Stephan Pyles, it was time to check out Austin\u2019s food trailers (trucks) with chef gal friends Danielle Custer and Lisa Dupar.<\/p>\n

\"Armadillo\"<\/p>\n

My new friend, a Texas Armadillo! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Local_Yolk\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Local Yolk food trailer \u2026 so cute!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The temperature was HOT for these NW gals \u2026 but we trekked on to taste quite a few of the city\u2019s best street grub.<\/p>\n

Gourdough\u2019s<\/a> was my fave \u2014 and the naughtiest! Giant doughnuts topped with crazy and oh-so-tasty things! Funky Monkey: grilled bananas and cream cheese icing. Porkey\u2019s: Canadian bacon, cream cheese & jalape\u00f1o jelly. Mother Clucker: fried chicken and honey butter. Yes, quite a gut bomb, but oh-so-good!<\/p>\n

\"Gourdough\"<\/p>\n

Gourdough\u2019s BIG FAT DONUTS!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other food venders ranged from Korean barbecue to fish and chips with curry sauce to killer Texas-style BBQ. I\u2019m full just thinking about it!<\/p>\n

Tales of the Cocktail<\/strong>
\nTales of the Cocktail<\/a> is probably the biggest of the cocktail events this year. Every July, mixologists, spirit producers and enthusiasts from all over the world convene for a week of amazing parties, liquor tastings, spirited dinners and seminars. This year I did a seminar with internationally renowned Modern Mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim<\/a> on H2O Cocktails<\/a>. We discussed the how\u2019s and why\u2019s of water\u2013based cocktails using flavor\u2013infused waters with complex\u2013character vodka. Master Distiller Thomas Kuuttanen from Purity Vodka joined us to answer all those geeky questions that we couldn\u2019t. TOTC is open to the public so you don\u2019t need to be a pro to party with the professionals. Stay tuned for my next newsletter to hear all the imbibing details. In the meantime, check out an episode of Kathy Casey\u2019s Liquid Kitchen<\/a> to see how to make a Purity Watermelon Habanero H2O Cocktail<\/a> \u2014 so perfect for summer sippin\u2019!<\/p>\n
