Episode 83: Episode 83: Miami Vice and special Guest Jason Pierotti
Hi Guys,So this is a special episode as we get a special guest joining us to talk about cocktails, cruise ships, martinis and even Martini Airbnb. The shows is a bit lengthy but well worth it as we talk about cocktails and bartending..my two favorite things...well ok...maybe a beach as well...ok two out of three of my favorite things!!!So, this is a different format to our show then our usual one. Yes, we still are going to talk about drinks of course. One of the cocktails that you might order on a cruise ship is a Miami Vice cocktail. Now, this cocktail is new to me and I'm sure I have had it but Jason goes through exactly what it takes to make one of these delicious tropical drinks that you would find on a cruise ship. It is basically a Pina Colada and a Strawberry Daquiri combined. I thought it would easy with those slushy machines you see at the resort but as Jason tells us that it's difficult drink to make with just blenders as you have to make both drinks and then combine them. But trust me, it is worth the effort. We also go through some alterations such as mango instead of strawberry...yummy!!! By the way, ask your bartender first if they even have blenders before asking for a frozen drink. LOLSo we go in-depth with Jason about his beginnings and how he became a bartender, flair and fire breathing, martini expert, to being bar manager of a fleet of cruise ships and now owning his own Airbnb and an online martini shop. He struggled through COVID but now is doing his own thing. He explains the journey and some things about bartending that most people don't know or think about. On "Did you know?" segment: we talk about the classic 80s show Miami Vice which for us was a show that impacted our lives. It could have been the music, the fashion or even the famous stars that brought this show to life. We all remember on Friday night turning on our TVs and watching the newest episode. We go over cool facts like who got offered the roles of Crockett and Tubbs. What the actors had to go through to play the roles, famous seasons and some famous names that have made appearance on the show.Links to the show:Recipes: https://tikicentralcanada.ca/recipes/Jason's Martini website for online shopping (starting soon so get your email registered): https://mymartinihouse.comCheck him out on Facebook where he has some great pictures of the Airbnb theme to cocktails and some instructional videos on martinis: https://www.facebook.com/martinisrusA must see scene from the first episode of Miami Vice featuring "In the Air Tonight" (for me this is a memory for life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aMCzRj3SygYouTube Video of famous people who appeared on the Miami Vice before their fame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P00RAWfFvF0You can also check out the themed rooms Jason has at his Airbnb through the following links:https://www.airbnb.com/h/mymartinihouse203https://www.airbnb.com/h/mymartinihouse202https://www.airbnb.com/h/mymartinihouse301https://www.airbnb.com/h/mymartinihouse302Thanks again to Jason Pierotti for being on the show and maybe some day we come visit you!!!!and Jason...does Mark really sound like Donald Sutherland...folks you be the judge!!!
