One thing is for sure: the beginnings of the eSports betting industry are far behind us. Now, this industry has been transformed into a global phenomenon. This information is backed up by reports and official stats. In 2016, the eSports industry was expected to grow by 43 percent, reaching $40 billion. The growing popularity of this trend is translated into the quick increase of individuals that follow eSports events.
I stumbled over this week’s beverage in Gary Regan’s “The Joy of Mixology,” but it’s original source is the oft-cited-here “The Savoy Cocktail Book” by Harry Craddock. Since Craddock was the bartender at London’s Savoy Hotel, and the Claridge had been the Savoy’s super-swank rival before Savoy owner Richard D’Oyly-Carte had purchased it, we can assume it must have once been some kind of house drink at the hotel. Even so, it’s not on the Claridge’s bar menu circa 2017, where a typical house beverage will run you some 19 British pounds. (That’s over $23.34 American at current exchange rates.)
Maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised, as this drink is a bit simple and sweet for the tastes of today’s demanding cocktailians, much less the guests at a five-star hotel said to be preferred by the aristocratic set. Still, I think it’s one that’s worth trying out for yourself. It’s not bad and some people will love it. See what you think.
The Claridge Cocktail
1 ounce dry gin
1 ounce dry vermouth
1/2 ounce apricot brandy
1/2 ounce triple sec, Cointreau, or Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao
Don’t focus on what divides us — instead, be positive and celebrate what we have in common, like the beer “stache” we all get when enjoying a Guinness!
The camera is one of the most important features of any smartphone these days. Whether you are a selfie addict or you simply want to take great shots wherever you are, you’ll want a super snapper on your phone.
But the way you enjoy the photos is just as important. Fortunately, if you have an Android phone, there are plenty of excellent gallery apps that help you to manage your pictures better. Here are some of the best you can try.
There’s denying that 2017 is going to be filled with some wonderful films, including a number of superhero sequels, movies starring Dwayne Johnson and other highly-anticipated titles. However, with so many great films scheduled for release, it’s inevitable that some are going to flop. It’s not easy trying to launch a blog and talk about movies, but even people that are just starting to blog on the subject think that these will flop.
