Read on for a sneak peek:
Water for Chocolate at Macchialina
Macchialina’s concoction is a blend of Solbeso, Bénédictine, simple syrup, orange bitters, and cherry bark vanilla bitters. Served over ice, the dark cherry and vanilla flavors are great winter.
Sol en Invierno at Radio South Beach
Translated to “sun in the winter,” this cocktail’s name is indicative of the winter weather in Miami. Created by Bryan Canales, it’s with Solbeso, pineapple juice, applewood-smoked coco syrup, bitters, and lemon and orange juice.
Winter Badger at Blackbird Ordinary
A mix of Ancho Reyes, Solbeso, pineapple, honey syrup, and lemon juice, this drink from Blackbird Ordinary is a mix of sweet and tart.
'I love Solbeso's unique and unapologetic personality, and can't help but get excited thinking about the potential for the category going forward', writes Emma Jensen, in an in depth review of Solbeso for SeriousEats.com.

Logan Ronkainen crafting cocktails @ Trattoria Il Mulino, December 2014
Meet Logan Ronkainen. Part chef, part mad scientist, all around great guy to know, especially when it comes to crafted cocktails. Logan taps into his experience as a trained chef to create flavor combinations and serving rituals that redefine the cocktail experience.
The New World Spirits team claims a special bond with Logan. Not only was he one of the team’s first supporters, he also truly understands Solbeso’s unique versatility and character, finding ever more intriguing ways to mix and serve the spirit. Check out Logan’s postings on Instagram to see some of his ridiculously delicious (and jaw-droppingly creative) cocktail creations.
To taste his Solbeso innovations in person, head to Trattoria Il Mulino in New York’s Gramercy Park neighborhood and watch Logan— the restaurant’s head bartender and spirits consultant — spin the shakers behind the bar.
One of the stars appearing on the restaurant’s winter menu is the Italiano-Americano, Logan’s spin on classic American cocktail the Negroni. “The name is a pun on the classic as well: The ingredients are Americas (Solbeso) meets Italy. By swapping the gin out with Solbeso, it yields a much lighter, smoother Negroni, quickly becoming a crowd favorite,” says Logan.

Italiano-Americano
1 oz Solbeso
1 oz Capelletti
1 oz Cocchi Barolo Chinato
Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with an expressed grapefruit peel and a piece of bittersweet chocolate rested on top of the peel.
Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe enjoyed his bottle of Solbeso recently at a dinner at the Grand Hyatt in Tokyo. We are told the PM especially appreciated the craftsmanship and design of the bottle as well as the soft smooth finish of Solbeso when enjoyed chilled as a shot.
Thank you Chris B-San and Mr. Soichiro Masuoka for this one!
Play word association and the name Jacques Torres immediately conjures chocolate. When the famed chef offered to create a signature cocktail for the Premier Cares Foundation's Annual Celebrity Chef Dinner just one week before the event, Solbeso's Culinary Ambassador Clay Gordon needed little persuasion.
"I wanted a drink that connected the cocktail to the chocolate theme of the dinner menu and also allowed the unique qualities of Solbeso to shine through," said Clay. "And it was important to me that the drink not be sweet.”
Based on Chef Torres’ wildly popular Wicked Hot Chocolate, Clay teamed with Torres to concoct the ultimate cacao fruit-meets-chocolate wintery drink. "Over the summer I experimented with Solbeso cocktails featuring horchata, which often has the same spices as the chef’s hot chocolate, minus the heat. From experience, I knew Solbeso would go well with the spices, but it was still necessary to find the perfect ratios. That's some of my favorite kind of research!” says Clay.
The Wicked Hotchata hit the spot, agreed Premier Cares Foundation dinner coordinator Julie Goldfischer: "Your Solbeso creation, the wonderful Wicked Hotchata, was the perfect festive drink with ‘wow’ factor to serve guests at our chocolate-inspired fundraising dinner."
Wicked Hotchata Way
3 oz Whole Milk
4 oz Unsweetened/Unflavored Almond Milk
2 oz Solbeso
1 oz Jacques Torres Wicked Hot Chocolate
0.5 oz Orgeat Syrup
Warm both types of milks on the stovetop. Add additional ingredients together into the milk. Make sure the mixture doesn’t come to a boil. Serve hot in a mug. For the cold version, mix ingredient in a shaker and strain ice, serve in a coupe. Yields 2 servings. The Wicked Hotchata is equally delicious served cold or hot.

B+I - WALL OF WISDOM
During the Builders & Innovators 2014 conference, participants provided insights and lessons learned on topics ranging from innovation and sustainability to medical systems and entrepreneurship.
The commentary was captured by artists and 12 boards of wisdom were crafted to showcase the commentary.
View below gallery to get the full insight.
LEARNING FROM THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE
California, late Fall 2014. 100 young entrepreneurs descend upon the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara to attend the 2014 Builders & Innovators Conference - an annual event hosted by Goldman Sachs and this year attended by Tom Higbee & Thomas Aabo with a mission to introduce Solbeso to the captains of the Industry of Tomorrow.
The B+I conference focus on teaching the next generation of entrepreneurs to pursue their business and passion in a responsible and sustainable way through advice and lessons from accomplished leaders, most of whom started with no more than an idea and a passion for change of their own.
EXPERIENCE, INSIGHTS & PASSION
Speakers included Michael Dell (DELL Computers), Sheldon Adelson (Sands Casino & Resorts), Kevin Plank (Under Armor), Reed Hastings (NetFlix), Aubrey McClendon (Chesapeake Energy) and many others. The common theme across all discussions: not accepting convention. Pushing against or working around an establishment holding back your idea; Walking new paths to connect a vision with reality and the customer waiting to support that vision. All speakers showcased a deep level of insight in their industry, making it clear their success was not easily won, but the result of intense focus, passion and dedication over a long period of time and against the expectation of the 'smartest people in the room' at the time.
“Get more than 2.5 hours of sleep at night? You’re not working hard enough”
The mantra heard over and over was simply; work hard, believe in yourself, never let a closed door stop you, stay hungry and never, ever accept when someone tells you 'it can't be done'.
WORDS OF WISDOM
B+I yielded a number of wonderful sound-bites, ranging from Kevin Planks Zen-like relaxation advice, "Get more than 2.5 hours of sleep at night? You're not working hard enough" to Shelly Adelsons, understanding your business; "I wasn't in the hotel business. I was in real-estate; buying square feet by the dime and renting them out by the dollar", to Michael Dells classic spot-the-opportunity-and go "I knew the parts combined cost maybe $275... yet the IBM Personal Computer was selling for over $2,000". Sage advice came from the man behind most natural gas in the US today; Aubrey McClendon, "When I'm in doubt, I'll take a beer and a nap. If still in doubt when I wake up, I'll have another nap - maybe a second beer." Considering Aubrey started Chesapeake at 23 and turned it into the 2nd largest US producer of natural gas worth more than $16B, one imagines he's earned a nap or two. We of course cannot help but wonder what the Natural Gas industry would look like today if Mr. McClendon would have had access to Solbeso during his pontifications.

It is backed by New World Spirits, a newly formed incubator and importer based in NYC with an advisory board full of current and former executives hailing from the likes of Diageo, Brown-Foreman, Treasury Wine, Anheuser Busch, and more.
