BAJAN SUN MAGAZINE
Their resident bartenders/mixologists Gina and
Roger hosted over the event to ensure a special
time was had by all who attended. Phillip
Antoine (now off crutches) was on hand to add
some fun and expertise to the scene as Jamaal
worked with participants. Participants were
allowed to mix their cocktail while receiving
feedback from these highly trained professionals.
Dameain Williams, mixologist, was part of the
team, offering tips on how to hold the strainer
and the proper way to muddle ingredients. Also
on hand were Raeann Beckles and Franklyn
Parris of B.A.R.S. Inc. and several
representatives from the Armstrong Agencies
Ltd.
Dario Goddard with Girls Night Out took Top
Prize with his delicious Claytons and gin based
creation. Dario left Jamaal a little speechless
(hard to believe) but the drink was so
wonderfully balanced that Jamaal could add little
in the way of advice so he settled for asking for
another sample! Nakita Carter surprised all with
her Claytons and sago pearls cocktail called,
Hidden Pearls; a delightful surprise with a very
interesting texture. Shakera Drakes won People’s
Choice (most likes on face book page) with
Claytons and Grand Marnier mixture called East
Coast Breeze. Carol –Ann Cart er then let the
crowd sample her lovely refreshing Pirates’
Sunset Sail , combining Claytons , rum and
OCT 2014
golden apple juice in her drink. The evening
ended with the professionals taking stage and
coming up with their own creations for the
crowd to sample. The non-alcoholic mixture of
Claytons and guava juice also was a crowd
favorite. Several U.K. tourists joined the
gathering , enjoying their first taste of Claytons
and learning that they could order it online in
UK at www.thewhiskyexchange.com (note no ‘e’
in whisky) and www.shopbarbados.co.uk.
Many thanks to the entrants, the bartenders/
mixologists, BARS, Krystle Clarke for running
the competition on facebook, and of course,
King of the Night, Claytons Kola Tonic!
