B.A.T Cocktail Masterclass

Editor-in-Chief Zoe Spirgel reviews the B.A.T cocktail Masterclass.

Walking into the society room of Hotel du Vin, I had no idea what to expect. Entering the little tucked away nook down a steep and winding three flights of stairs, we were welcomed by the Bartenders Against Temperance (BAT) committee members all clad in black. With little jugs of mint water tactfully placed on scattered tables around the room, the event gave off a cozy, yet tasteful vibe.

Before beginning at about 7:30pm, the BAT committee gave guests a chance to mingle and line their stomachs with the popcorn and pretzels placed deliberately on the peripherals of the room. Once everyone had arrived, the festivities begun, with President Asa Andrews, Vice President Kyle van Oosterum, Head of Outreach George Davies, and Cocktail Consultant Rory MacDonald running four different stations around the room. Groups of six started at each station, getting the chance to make their own cocktails with the guidance of the BAT committee.  The committee demonstrated how to make each cocktail and then guests were invited to bravely step up and attempt making the recipe themselves. While this event got pretty boozy, the BAT committee did a fantastic job of spacing out the rotations, giving guests a good 20 minutes to enjoy their drinks before moving to the next station.

Below please find the line-up of the drinks, and my humble opinion of which cocktail proved itself as superior.  All drinks will be ranked on a scale of 1 being the best cocktail of the night and 4 being the worst.

Kyle’s Station: “The Lade Braes”

Kyle started off the night by teaching the brave first six how to make an original cocktail he calls “The Lade Braes.” This cocktail includes a blend of gin, lemon juice, apple juice, mint syrup and sparkling water.

Description: Refreshing, light, dangerously cannot taste ANY alcohol. Hints of lemon, very sweet, and a nice little bubbly finish.

Rating: 1

George’s Station: “The Bramble”

George then continued the success of the night with classic “Bramble” cocktail. This cocktail mixes together the flavours of sugar, lemon, gin, and the blackberry liquor: Crème de  Mure.

Description:  Not very blackberry flavoured (I think I messed up the specs when attempting to make it myself). Definitely lemonier than the first cocktail and a more prominent gin taste. Still, very tasty and would 100% order in a bar.

Rate: 3

Asa’s Station: “The Southside”

“The Southside” is a classic go-to order of mine and Asa’s recipe did not go amiss. With the beautiful combination of mint, gin, lime and sugar, the lime brought out that extra zest that secured it a definitive ranking in my mind, standing out from the pack.

Description: Very subtle notes of mint, a tangy lime aftertaste, extremely light.

Rate: 2

Rory’s Station: “The Perfect Martini”

Rory was the last masterclass station I had the pleasure of reviewing. He used a mixture of Felon’s Gin (the official sponsor of BAT), sweet vermouth, and dry vermouth.

Description: I personally am not a fan of martinis, and this one was not an exception. However, I will say that the drink was a beautiful orange colour and looked very elegant.

Rate: 4

Despite my weak-bodied stomach when it comes to potent drinks such as the martini, the event was nothing less than a booming success. Many of the guests decided to pay membership on the spot, chattering about how fantastic the masterclass was.

After the excitement of the cocktails died down, I was able to sit down and get some exclusive content from the BAT members. President Asa, passionately explained to me, “The purpose of the club is to elevate drinking culture in St. Andrews and shy away from the Pablo’s.”

Vice President Kyle van Oosterum later spoke a bit about where he would like to see growth in within the club stating, “I would love to collaborate with more of St. Andrews alcohol societies such as Whiskey Club. It would also be exceptional to get a sponsorship with Luvians and support local businesses.”

Head of Outreach George ended the night by proudly declaring, “We want students to take pride in their cocktails. This is not the type of society that attracts the avid vodka-coke drinkers of St. Andrews.”

This event proved itself as being innovative, interactive, and inventive. I am thrilled to have been a guest at the opening event of BAT and excited to announce The Stand as the official press sponsor for all BAT events.

Keep on the lookout for more BAT events, they are not to be missed.

  6. Understanding COSC Certification and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Accreditation and its Stringent Criteria
    COSC, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that certifies the precision and precision of wristwatches. COSC validation is a sign of superior craftsmanship and trustworthiness in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands follow COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its own stringent standards with mechanisms like the UNICO, reaching similar accuracy.

    The Art of Precision Chronometry
    The central system of a mechanical timepiece involves the mainspring, which provides power as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be susceptible to external factors that may affect its precision. COSC-validated mechanisms undergo strict testing—over 15 days in various conditions (five positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests measure:

    Average daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, peak variation levels, and effects of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Certification Matters
    For timepiece aficionados and collectors, a COSC-validated timepiece isn’t just a piece of tech but a proof to lasting excellence and accuracy. It represents a timepiece that:

    Offers excellent reliability and accuracy.
    Provides assurance of quality across the complete construction of the watch.
    Is likely to hold its value more effectively, making it a wise investment.
    Famous Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several well-known manufacturers prioritize COSC validation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, offers collections like the Archive and Spirit, which feature COSC-certified movements equipped with cutting-edge substances like silicone equilibrium springs to boost durability and efficiency.

    Historical Context and the Evolution of Chronometers
    The concept of the chronometer originates back to the requirement for accurate timekeeping for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth century. Since the formal foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the certification has become a benchmark for evaluating the accuracy of luxury timepieces, continuing a tradition of excellence in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-certified timepiece is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a commitment to excellence and precision. For those valuing precision above all, the COSC certification provides tranquility of mind, ensuring that each certified timepiece will function dependably under various circumstances. Whether for individual satisfaction or as an investment, COSC-certified watches distinguish themselves in the world of horology, bearing on a legacy of meticulous chronometry.

    로드스탁과 레버리지 스탁: 투자법의 신규 분야

    로드스탁을 통해 제공되는 레버리지 스탁은 증권 투자법의 한 방법으로, 높은 이익율을 목표로 하는 투자자들을 위해 매력적인 선택입니다. 레버리지 사용을 이용하는 이 방법은 투자자들이 자신의 자금을 초과하는 자금을 투입할 수 있도록 하여, 주식 장에서 더욱 큰 영향력을 행사할 수 있는 기회를 줍니다.

    레버리지 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 스탁은 기본적으로 자금을 빌려 투자하는 방식입니다. 사례를 들어, 100만 원의 자본으로 1,000만 원 상당의 증권을 사들일 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 일반적인 자본보다 훨씬 더 많은 주식을 취득하여, 증권 가격이 증가할 경우 상응하는 훨씬 더 큰 수익을 획득할 수 있게 합니다. 하지만, 주식 값이 하락할 경우에는 그 피해 또한 크게 될 수 있으므로, 레버리지 사용을 이용할 때는 조심해야 합니다.

    투자 전략과 레버리지
    레버리지는 특히 성장 가능성이 큰 회사에 적용할 때 효과적입니다. 이러한 사업체에 큰 비중으로 투입하면, 잘 될 경우 상당한 이익을 얻을 수 있지만, 반대 경우의 경우 많은 위험도 짊어져야 합니다. 그러므로, 투자하는 사람은 자신의 리스크 관리 능력과 시장 분석을 통해 통해, 어느 사업체에 얼마만큼의 자본을 투입할지 결정해야 합니다.

    레버리지의 장점과 위험성
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 높은 수익을 보장하지만, 그만큼 큰 위험도 동반합니다. 증권 시장의 변화는 예측이 곤란하기 때문에, 레버리지 사용을 이용할 때는 늘 장터 경향을 세심하게 살펴보고, 손해를 최소로 줄일 수 있는 전략을 구성해야 합니다.

    결론: 세심한 결정이 필요
    로드스탁에서 제공하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 막강한 투자 도구이며, 잘 활용하면 상당한 수익을 제공할 수 있습니다. 그러나 큰 위험성도 신경 써야 하며, 투자 결정이 충분히 많은 사실과 신중한 판단 후에 진행되어야 합니다. 투자하는 사람의 재정 상황, 위험 수용 능력, 그리고 장터 상황을 생각한 균형 잡힌 투자 계획이 중요하며.
