Cox Local Video: Bols Genever Cocktail Competition at The Eddy

by David Dadekian January 27, 2014
written by David Dadekian

Last November nine of Rhode Island’s top bartenders gathered at The Eddy in Providence, along with a crowd of many more bartenders, four judges and a lot of Bols Genever, to compete for a trip to Tampa to celebrate Repeal Day. Because of the Repeal Day prize the cocktails created were to all be Prohibition-era inspired.

The competing bartenders are all members of the Rhode Island chapter of the United States Bartenders’ Guild and it was certainly a friendly fight to see who created the best cocktail. Second place went to Vito Lantz of The Dorrance for his tobacco laced cocktail “The Nick.” The winner was The Eddy’s own Carlos Garcia with “A Bolswork Orange” also known as “Goddamn, Amsterdam” at The Eddy.

Here’s the recipe for Garcia’s winning cocktail:

  • 7 dashes of Angostura bitters
  • 1/4 ounce Demerara syrup
  • 1/2 ounce Bols orange curaçao
  • 2 oz Bols Genever
  • Absinthe rinse
  • orange twist

Cox Presents Eat Drink RI with David Dadekian is a video series produced by Cox Sports Online to showcase the vibrant and friendly food community in the Rhode Island area. Check out coxsportsonline.com for more local programming.

Eat Drink RI has emailed with all the semifinalists and has their thoughts below. Congratulations to all the Rhode Island semifinalists!

Matt Jennings, Chef/Co-Owner at Farmstead Inc. (Best Chef: Northeast): “This is awesome. We are, as usual, beside ourselves. It is such a statement on how how hard our team works—from the stewards and the managers, to the servers, cooks & ‘mongers—this is truly a group effort, as everyone in this industry knows. [I] wake up everyday inspired by each of them, and Kate and I are thankful to have such an amazing crew.”

Jennifer Ferreira, Bar Manager at Cook & Brown Public House (Outstanding Bar Program): “It has been such a joy to be apart of the the evolution of this bar program and to be nominated once again is such an honor. I am so thankful for all the people who have made this bar program what it is and all who continue to support us through this awesome journey.”

Nemo Bolin, Chef/Owner at Cook & Brown Public House (Outstanding Bar Program): “I think it’s [expleted deleted] awesome. The entire staff kills it night in and night out. We’re especially proud to get the recognition since we operate the [bar] program within the confines of a full service restaurant. It’s not an easy task for the bartenders and they do an incredible job.”

Lisa & Champe Speidel, Owners and Chef at Persimmon (Outstanding Service and Best Chef: Northeast): “It’s truly an honor to be mentioned in such great company. We are thrilled and so grateful to our entire team—front and back—for their dedication, passion and hard work. We love being part of Rhode Island’s amazing food community and send big congrats to everyone at Farmstead and Cook & Brown.”
