FULL PRESS RELEASE:
SMUGGLER’S COVE COMING FALL 2009 TO SAN FRANCISCO
SAN FRANCISCO, CA- This fall, San Francisco will become home to Smuggler’s Cove, a new bar designed to celebrate the incredible diversity and versatility of the world’s most exciting spirit: Rum. Smuggler’s Cove offers a whole new approach to rum by featuring a vast array of traditional Caribbean drinks, classic libations of Prohibition-Era Havana, and famous exotic cocktails from legendary tiki bars- all under one roof. In addition, Smuggler’s Cove will offer an unparalleled selection of rare and premium rums from around the world carefully selected for enjoying on their own or skillfully blended into cocktails. For over a decade, owner and creator Martin Cate has been passionate about rum & tropical cocktails. He was the co-creator, designer and chief mixologist for Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge in Alameda, CA. He has judged in international rum competitions, met with over a dozen rum distillers in five countries, and lectured at Bourbon and Branch’s Beverage Academy, Tales of the Cocktail, and Tiki Oasis. “I am very excited to help showcase this wonderfully varied spirit both on its own and in delicious cocktails. A great rum drink can be simple and elegant, or complex and dynamic, but it must always be balanced, approachable, and just a pleasure to drink,” says Martin Cate. “Too often, people associate rum with syrupy and artificial drinks and we’re here to change that.” Martin has traveled the world to learn the rich history and explore the traditional spices and regional ingredients of the world’s rum producing countries in order to feature them in the cocktails of Smuggler’s Cove. As an award-winning mixologist and member of the United States Bartenders Guild for the last four years, Martin is committed to using only the best quality spirits, fresh-squeezed juices, and housemade ingredients. But while Martin is serious about the drinks, he knows that people are looking for a memorable and fun experience as well. “Smuggler’s Cove will be more than just a tiki bar, but it will feature the kind of dramatic, mysterious, and escapist atmosphere that makes a tiki bar so special- and makes rum taste better!”Smuggler’s Cove will include waterfalls, vintage nautical décor and rum memorabilia, and relics from some of San Francisco’s most famous historic watering holes. Smuggler’s Cove will open November 2009 in San Francisco, CA.

Brief History of Rum.
History of Rum -- powered by eHow.com
Alcohol has been a cultural staple of the West for thousands of years. As many as six and a half thousand years ago, wine was a large part of Greek culture and religion. Beer is probably equally as old, being brewed by royalty and peasants since the birth of European civilization. Monasteries were early producers and distributors of beer during the Dark Ages. By the 8th and 9th centuries, Muslim alchemists had produced distilled alcohols and “spirits” that became popular beverages. The American tradition of alcohol is centered on the bar, known in England and English-speaking countries as a Public House, or pub. The bar is a focal point of social life and the various mating rituals of American adults. Rum is a tropical liquor that mixes easily with fruits and herbs. In this free drink mixing video series, an expert bartender demonstrates mixing the eight most popular rum drinks. Learn the history of rum, as well as where it is produced and distilled. Then, learn to mix such concoctions as daiquiris, Hurricanes, and Mai Thais. The party never ends with these festive rum cocktails.
Video Transcript
"The history of rum is the history of sugar. Rum originated from cane cuttings brought over by Columbus in 1493, on his second voyage, from Europe. He originally brought these cane cuttings from the Canary Islands, to what is now known, as the Caribbean Islands, more specifically, Haiti and Dominican Republic. Rum was also widely used for medicinal purposes. It was widely used by the pirates for a cure, and also a preventative measure for scurvy. It was utilized to kill toxins and purify water. And they also made it a concoction, called grog. It was made up one half water and one half, very strong rum, one hundred and sixty proof, which is not really heard of today. That was utilized to prevent and cure scurvy, which is a form of the vitamin D deficiency. The British caught wind of this cure for scurvy, and utilized it, for the pirates. And they, it was actually used as a staple by the British Navy up until 1969, for medicinal uses. And, in short, that's a brief history of the origination of rum."
