Original Bank Exchange Pineapple Cordial

Campo de Encanto Pisco, the award-winning brand founded by three industry leaders – Mixologist Duggan McDonnell, Sommelier Walter Moore, and Master Distiller Carlos Romero - announces the nationwide launch of its Original Bank Exchange Pineapple Cordial (SRP $14.99).  The first brand of Pisco to launch a cocktail mixer, the Pineapple Cordial is a complement to Encanto's three Pisco expressions on the market. Made entirely with all-natural ingredients, this pineapple gomme syrup is a quintessential component of the infamous Pisco Punch, that world-renowned cocktail first created at San Francisco’s bygone Bank Exchange Saloon in the mid 19th century. The Original Bank Exchange Pineapple Cordial, along with Encanto Pisco, is imported and represented by the newly formed Bond & Royal division of the Sazerac Company.

In the United States, three of Campo de Encanto's  Piscos from Peru’s Pisco Valley (Ica) are available: Grand & Noble, a cuvée of five different grape varietials – Quebranta, Mollar, Torontel, Moscatel and Italia - blended; plus, two Distiller's Reserve bottlings: a Single Vineyard Quebranta and a Single Vineyard Moscatel.  As a brand, Encanto has brought modern winemaking and blending methodology and innovation to Pisco production. Previous to Encanto, a cuvée or in Peruvian Pisco parlance, an 'Acholado,' was considered the dregs, the poor leftovers of other bottlings. In addition, no other brand dared to release Single Vineyard expressions from Peru's oldest vineyards.

Barbarian Bar Tools

Barbarian Bar Tools are a new twist on a classic concept. The signature tool, the Barbarian, simplifies the cocktailing experience by taking the simple juice press and adding nine other essential bar functions: a jigger, zester, channel knife, bottle opener, citrus knife, one-inch blade, can lance corkscrew and lever.  The Simple Tool is an enhanced version of the common bar blade that incorporates five different tools: a channel knife, zester, can lance, can tab lifter and bottle opener. With a sleek, functional, space-saving design, both tools look stylish on any bar while also fitting easily into a drawer eliminating clutter and saving time spent looking for an assortment of tools.

Purely Syrup

Purely Syrup is a new line of certified organic simple syrups, crafted in small batches using only organic ingredients, with no coloring or artificial additives. The company is debuting with 5 flavors: Ginger Root, Grapefruit, Vanilla Bean, Habanero, and Classic (unflavored). Purely Syrups offer a product that is consistent every time and is easy to use.

The team behind Purely Syrup is comprised of San Francisco mixologist David DeRinzy, Brooklyn-based entrepreneur Joshua Bloom, and Telluride, Colorado-based Steven Craig, a marketing executive with extensive food and beverage experience. David DeRinzy worked for almost two decades in the some of Telluride's most notable bars and restaurants including La Marmotte and Hotel Madeline. He found himself constantly reaching for his housemade simple syrups while tending bar. He had an epiphany that other bartenders may be needing simple syrups yet did not want to log hours at the stove creating their own, and would appreciate an artisanal ready-to-use version. DeRinzy approached his long-time friends, Joshua Bloom and Steven Craig, with a bottle of home-made simple syrup and a business plan. Bloom, a musician and serial entrepreneur whose endeavors include bringing the Plunge music festival to Telluride, had long held aspirations to run a candy shop. With Purely Syrups, his business acumen and sweet tooth could both be tapped. Craig's combined backgrounds in the hospitality and marketing industries made him a natural choice to round out the team.

Bonne O Carbonated & Mixed Drink Appliance 

Bonne O is a home carbonation system. The name, meaning “good water,” comes from the French “bonne eau”. Bonne O allows bubbly beverage fans to create carbonated drinks using fresh, healthy ingredients found in their kitchen. This electric appliance creates beverages while not requiring a CO2 tank.

Your Bonne O enables you to carbonate almost anything - not just water. Over three years of research & development we determined the food safe solid that produced the maximum quantity of pure CO2 gas.

Using a food safe solid means that it is 100% safe and it can be shipped. The active ingredients are citric acid, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), potassium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate. All of these ingredients are found in the food you eat.
