Going Back to Cali…to Bartend that is!

Frank Rose attended the Professional Bartending School of Nashville in January 2008. He was temporarily in Nashville promoting his music. Frank is a singer/songwriter and decided to attend the school to learn a trade that would be flexible enough to do around his music and still make great money.

After attending the school, Frank moved back to California and landed a job at the Green Street Restaurant in Pasadena in May of 2008. Frank recently sent us an amazing thank you letter and a picture of himself bartending. He was recently promoted to Head Bartender and is amazed that during the last year he has made Rusty Nails, Old Fashioned’s, Bahama Mama’s, Brandy Alexander’s, and many more drinks that he had learned at the school. He recently created his own drink “The Green Street Incredible Hulk” and the drink was actually placed on the menu, and is now the restaurants top seller!

 We are very grateful for Frank’s letter. He thanked the complete staff for his training and placement assistance and he said “it’s nice to have a job bartending amidst our uncertain economy, because people will always drink”. We are proud of you Frank and will hopefully make a trip to see you soon! Here is the recipe for Frank’s drink!

GREEN STREET INCREDIBLE HULK

1 ½ ounces Blue Ice American Vodka

2 ounces Midori Melon Liqueur

Splash of Blue Curacao

 1 ounce Pineapple Juice

Directions Pour 1oz of Pineapple juice into a chilled Martini glass. Shake and strain Blue Ice American Vodka, Midori melon liqueur and Blue Curacao over Pineapple Juice resulting in a “change” from a pale yellow color to a brilliant green color. Garnish with a Mint Sprig w/2 or 3 leaves. Yum Yum!
