Changes log
Sometimes information about the audits and enquiries is updated. To help you understand any updates and see when changes have been made, we keep a change log.
What audits and enquiries should be reported?
Please see the Quality Accounts Resource for the list of audits and enquiries to be reported in your 2014/15 Quality Accounts.
The Resource includes information about QA requirements from 2010-15, so you may wish to filter the list to show only the audits required for your 2014/15 accounts.
For further help and advice, please see:
The list of national clinical audits and clinical outcome review programmes to be included in Quality Accounts (QA) 2015/16 will be published on 19 December 2014. The list will be published in our Quality Accounts Resource, and in excel and word formats.
HQIP publishes the QA list on our website on behalf of NHS England. Together we map all national clinical audits and clinical outcome review programmes in England to inform the content of the QA list.
The 2015/16 QA list will be more detailed than ever. Following feedback from local audit departments, it will now include information about:
NEW: Information for national clinical audit providers
HQIP are currently scoping all national clinical audit and clinical outcome review programmes in England, in preparation for the 2015/16 Quality Accounts list, as requested by NHS England. The final list will contain all audits that Trusts are required to report in their annual Quality Accounts.
If you run a national clinical audit, please complete this brief online survey by 14 November 2014.
This will ensure that your audit is considered for inclusion in the Quality Accounts (QA) 2015/16 list, if appropriate. Being included in the QA list is good for your audit, as many Trusts prioritise participation using this list.
There is a slight change to the way we are collecting information about your audit this year. If you have more than one work stream you can either fill out the survey with information for your audit programme as a whole (as in previous years), or you can fill in one survey for each work stream. HQIP would recommend filling in a separate survey for each audit work steam. This has been requested by local clinical audit teams, and will help the teams plan their data collection schedule across all your audit work streams, resulting in a better participation rate and more impact.
Eligibility criteria:
Further information on Quality Accounts
Quality Accounts is a process governed and managed by NHS England - independent of the work carried out and promoted by HQIP. However, as many of the national clinical audits included in the Quality Accounts process form part of the NCAPOP programme (managed by HQIP), and because HQIP has a wider remit to promote healthcare quality improvement in general, we collate the latest information.
HQIP's Quality Accounts Resource tracks audits included in the 2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 quality accounts. This is available in Google Drive format and a downloadable Excel 'backup' for those who are unable to access Google Drive. This document also includes links to the project website and latest published reports.
If you have any comments about what you would find useful to further support your quality accounts work, please let us know.

Killer Mike counts his money pre-show to make sure his pay is both a) correct and b) not made up of counterfeit bills. Alex Weiss of OK Productions has had bands sneak in underage guests only to bitch about it when they get called out. Black Lips got "Duval County Florida" spray-painted on their van by a local opener. Patrick Hill of Word Productions perhaps puts it most succinctly, with a few words that can apply to either side: "Don't be a booger!"
For most concertgoers, the most stressful part of the experience is executing a well-timed arrival or, depending on the venue, the steep ticket price. But as the above anecdotes indicate, the consequences of decisions made behind the scenes and on the stage can get a little more intense. As artists and promoters nail down myriad details, sometimes months in advance, a whole host of difficulties can — and often do — emerge. So Creative Loafing asked a handful of Atlanta representatives from each camp for their pet peeves. Some were simple common sense, a few had to do with food or booze, and Peter Conlon's in particular left us fairly speechless.
OK Productions' Alex Weiss, on performers with zero punctuality
"Don't show up two hours late for your load in and then complain that you didn't get a proper soundcheck. Don't be that artist that shows up hungover for their show 30 minutes before the venue has to close and complain when you don't get paid your full guarantee. Also, don't try and get all your friends in on the guest list. Don't sneak underage kids in the back door and then complain when you get caught."
Rapper Killer Mike, on promoters who skimp on his backstage rider
"I always like for my rider to be as close to what I wanted as possible, without being a diva. Like, if I ask for Grey Goose, I don't wanna walk in and see fuckin' Glenmore. If I ask for Moet, like, I just drink dry champagne, I don't wanna walk in and see you've given me a bottle of Cristal yet you are trying to tell me you're $300 short on paying me. So, for me, as long as you've got my money on time and you've got the liquor — cool."
Brannon Boyle of Speakeasy Promotions, on acts that get drunk before their set
"One time I booked this 'conscious' rapper for a show a few years ago. Despite lyrics in his classic songs that denounce alcohol, he had a couple Hennessy doubles as early as sound check. When the second opener was about halfway done with his set, this guy was on stage trying to grab the mic from him. He was wasted. There was supposed to be a 15-minute DJ set in between their sets, but he wanted to go on now. I told him to get off the stage and let the opener finish his set, but he insisted that it was late (it wasn't even midnight), and it was time for him to go on. So, instead of the host introducing him, and the opener finishing his set, he drunkenly rambled through his set, forgetting lyrics to the classic songs that all the crowd knew the words to, left the show early, and stumbled out the door without collecting his payment."
Ruby Velle of the Soulphonics & Ruby Velle, on party promoters who sleep on the sound system
"We were hired for a private event where the planner got every detail of the decor and dining in order, and then forgot to get crucial sound equipment that was agreed upon beforehand and they insisted on providing. There was much scrambling in the eleventh hour to get us the equipment we needed [and] luckily we were still able to play. You know I love rolling with it as much as the next girl, but I think sound is something that should be carefully considered — always."
Patrick Hill of Word Productions (the Earl), on the importance of tying up loose ends with booked bands
"We really try to keep the lines of communication open with any band that we book. I don't want to book a band for a show three months from now and not hear from them again or talk to them until the night of the show. Whether [it's] checking in on show promo or just going over the details for the night, the more engaged I can be with the band the more opportunities we have to work together to promote the event."
Black Lips' Jared Swilley, on promoters who duck-and-hide with the dollars
"One of the worst things a promoter can do is stiff you on money or just not pay at all and disappear. We were playing a show in Sao Paulo with the Vaselines and we heard that the promoter had a shady reputation so our tour manager asked for the money before we went on stage. The promoter stalled for about an hour giving us excuses but finally rounded up the cash, and we went on stage. A few days later the Vaselines contacted us asking if we had gotten paid, because they hadn't been paid yet. I guess they went on without getting the money first and got stiffed."
Music Midtown/Live Nation promoter Peter Conlon, on annoying wannabe rockers
"People who pretend to be musicians who really aren't — especially local musicians. ... If you're working in a bar, and you're a bartender but you play in a band, you're a bartender. It's how you make your living. If you're making your living as a musician full time, you're a musician. This is a business of talent. People in this business seek talent out. If you're talented, someone's gonna find you and you're gonna get discovered. If you're still flailing around and you're in your late 20s or 40s, you probably don't have any talent and you should really look at plan B. A lot of people come to me and they're still waiting to get discovered, but look, it's hard to hide talent. In our business, people will find you and make you a star. When people claim to be musicians but they're working as bartenders or waiters, it's just not the same thing. It takes away from the people who really do have talent."
Gringo Star's Nick Furgiuele, on promoters who bounce checks
"We were on tour around the U.S. to promote our newest album, and we had been booked as one of the headliners to play a [major] festival. The show went great — we had a blast, it was crowded, everyone had fun — and at the end of the night they gave us a check for our guarantee. A few days later we deposited it [and] we found out the check bounced. Not only did we not have the money, but we got hit with a bunch of fees from our bank. This was a festival that also featured an international art prize for $250,000. As of today we haven't been paid back, but every few weeks they assure us it's getting sorted out. Two weeks ago they even asked for an address to mail the new check, but we still haven't gotten it."
Eddie Owen of Eddie Owen Presents and, formerly, Eddie's Attic, on clueless artists and managers
"I like it when they've done their homework up front and they know who they're calling. There are a ton of acts that wouldn't even call if they'd done their homework. While we do all genres, Eddie's Attic is a little bitty shithole. It's a listening room, not a raucous bar. Now, do we do some raucous music now and then? Yeah. And is it great? Yeah. But it's gotta be players that understand the room and can play to the room." [Editor's note: In between this interview and the publication of this piece, Owen and Eddie's Attic parted ways. We're pretty sure he meant "little bitty shithole" as a term of endearment.]
Zoroaster drummer Dan Scanlan, on promoters who ration out the drink tickets
"I think if you're a promoter, and you sign a contract to bring a touring band through town, or even a local band, for fuck's sake, don't give each band member two or three drink tickets to last the entire night! Nothing starts off the night on the wrong foot — after you've been on the road for six to 10 hours in a sweaty, smelly, beat-ass van, then loading in, sound-checking — [than] being told that you only get three complimentary shit house beers to last the next seven hours. You're supposed to be super stoked when you hit the stage? Do the bands a favor, splurge for a case of PBR and two pizzas, just to let them know you're actually glad they showed up."
Promoter Brannon Boyle, on rappers who bring surprise opening acts
"It is a common practice for rappers to show up on the day of show and tell a promoter that they brought more opening acts with them. These acts generally suck. Some of them definitely pay the headliner cash to be allowed to open for them. They always insist that they go on after the local support. This practice ruins shows very often. A lot of times the local support will be great, and the headliner will be great, but then all of a sudden we have to throw one, two, three, or even six additional acts in between the local and the headliner. It's a nightmare."

- The brunch has gone downhill.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/23/2014The items we ordered from the cards were very slow to come and my husband did not receive one item he ordered. The crab legs were ice cold. Our server was very nice but the entire experience was average.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerDandd333Dined on 11/11/2014Since it had snowed and was extremely cold that evening, we were the only patrons at the restaurant at 8:45pm. The staff was friendly and extremely accommodating. Our waiter, Seth, did a great job. Food was excellent, and they brought us a delicious complimentary slice of cheesecake. The Sunbird gave us a great memory!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nicknameVIPDined on 11/9/2014Jennalynn made it an excellent brunch. She is great!Special Features:
- Great service! Food was okSpenceDined on 11/9/2014Our waiter (Greg) was super friendly and very helpful since it was out first time there. Some of the breakfast foods items however didn't taste very fresh and were too salty. For example, the shrimp tasted rubbery and had a weird flavor to it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great remodel but food falls shortFoody257VIPDined on 11/2/2014The Sunbird has tried to remake itself with an extensive facelift and theme change from fine dining to Western Grill and Tavern. It was a valiant attempt, but first and foremost, you have to have good food. We tried two "signature" dishes and found neither particularly tasty. The brisket was pretty much dry and tasteless despite being excessively fatty. The Cornish game hen was supposed to be marinated with Rosemary and juniper berry, but tasted pretty much like it was simply soaked in Gin. The wine list was limited but not out of line with the new theme. Service was attentive and friendly but couldn't make up for the poor food. Menu definitely needs revamping.Special Features:
- Always fun-- and DELICIOUSConsterDined on 11/2/2014The Sunbird has been renovated to make the most of its incredible hilltop views, while deliberately choosing a more casual Western theme. This is fine, as it makes a great comfortable destination for a special yet relaxed meal. The two things that stand out most other than the panoramic views, are the INCREDIBLY FRIENDLY, genuine, welcoming service from the wait and host staff, and the AMAZING, delicious food. The Sunday Brunch is a real treat.Special Features:
- Sunday BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/2/2014Excellent brunch! Great selection, food and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/1/2014We're does one begin, the wait staff was very friendly, and the location of the restaurant and it's views are great, but that's where it ends. We ordered cocktails and they where flat out nasty, sent them back and the new ones where not any better, we ordered a appetizers and where told after 10 minutes that they where out of the one and when the second one came it was cold, now on to the main course everyone in our party was in shock how awful the food was not one person even ate half there plate. Would not recommend this place to anyone other then to go and have a bottle of beer and enjoy the view. Save your self some money.
- LambornCongressmanDined on 10/17/2014Unfortunately, the restaurant menu downscaled for worse, our food choice was less than mediocre, but the waitress was friendly.Special Features:
- Definitely Different AtmospheredinnerwithfriendsDined on 10/15/2014I was quite surprised when I arrived at the Sunbird. It had been a few years since I had been there, and the décor had really changed. I asked if it had changed ownership, and was told it was the same owners, but they decided to change the theme. The service was phenomenal and watching the sunset from this vantage point was great.Special Features:
- will definitely returndm85dmDined on 10/15/2014No complaints. A bit pricey but the portion size and the quality of the food make up for it. Plus military get 15% discount!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MediocreMissVDined on 10/12/2014Not what I was expecting at all. The mixed drinks were the highlight of the meal. The service and food, however, were below what I've become accustomed to at other restaurants. They were out of what we originally planned on ordering for an appetizer, and the appetizer we did decide on came out cold. The meat for our entrees was cooked well, but the sides were less than desireable. My mashed potatoes had a consistency similar to baby food. I will likely never eat here again, no matter how great the view may be.Special Features:
- Sunbird?? Not ever again!Hockeyguy13Dined on 10/12/2014Service was terriible, Never got the waters requested, took forever to get our drinks and once we got our food the stuff was cold.....we were offered 15% off the bill but we just paid the entire bill and left. We will never return and unfortunately it was not the way my 29th anniverary should have gone!
- DisappointedFoodiesVIPDined on 10/12/2014My husband & I used to frequent the Sunbird prior to the new owner. We always enjoyed the Sunday Brunch but quite disappointed w/today's visit. I made a reservation with OpenTable for 9:15am but when we arrived, the doors were locked. We called from the parking lot & were rudely told we did not have reservations. We then asked for reservation for 9:30am (when they actually opened), that was granted. Weird though, I requested a quiet booth via OpenTable & though the hostess stated we had no reservations, we were the only guests seated at a booth for almost an hour-wonder how she knew where to seat us. A lot of the food was undercooked (ie omelets, eggs benedict, etc). The Mozaic & Inverness put this Brunch to shame-don't think we'll return.Special Features:
- WineandEventsDined on 10/4/2014Smores by the fire add an excellent end to the evening! The view was incredible. The food was very good. The drink list looked wonderful but the wine list left some to be desired. Our server was outstanding. However, the service from the kitchen was incredibly slow. It took us 45 minutes to receive soup. However, they were incredibly kind and comp'd part of our meal. Could just be growing pains of new ownership. I'll definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingJicPioDined on 10/3/2014Has stunning view and lively bar so we were expecting good things. We were greeted by two people a t the front desk who argued with each other about seating us. Despite having a reservation ( and a half empty dining room) we were told that we could not be seated for about. A half hour. The manager came, there was a little more "lively discussion" and we were finally seated. The waitress was nice but had difficulty taking our order. She disappeared for long periods of time. Food was so so. All in all a disappointing experience. We won't be back.Special Features:
- DisappointingCOSdinerDined on 10/3/2014The highlight is the view of Colorado Springs. After that is was all downhill. The salmon was undercooked and had to be sent back. The manager was uninterested in making it right. The service was slow. The signature mason jar drinks did not, in fact come in mason jars. The waitress either didn't notice or just failed to tell us. She had trouble just keeping up with refilling our water glasses. This place used to be one of the best dining experiences in Colorado Springs. I would go anyplace else now.Special Features:
- WoW!!!tandyweaverDined on 9/27/2014The Sunbird has the perfect combination of good food, awesome scenery and a great outdoor patio. When we visited on a Saturday night, there was a guy playing guitar on the patio! Now, having said all that, it is a little dated, and it's not for foodies. This is a beautiful, charming and delicious favorite!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 882 reviews are from the Sunbird reviews archive.
- not goodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/27/2013I have been there before, not on a holiday and it was very good. We went for Mothers day, it was horrible ,soggy food and way understaffed. Each server had way to many tables, the breads were hard, desserts dry, and the omlete station way to slow, food was only warm. I will not go back again. My sisters family said they had the same experience when they went a little later that day.Special Features:
- This is a great place to bringOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/30/2012This is a great place to bring kids; ours were 10, 6, 4; they didn't have to sit and wait for someone to serve them; they could get up & walk around-EVERYbody loved the mac'n cheese. The Bananas Foster are well worth saving the tummy-space & the made-to-order omelets were perfect.Special Features:
- It was a very good experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/16/2012It was a very good experience and we had a great time. I just could not believe children are charged the same as adults for brunch.Special Features:
- Actually the food was tasty,OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/15/2012Actually the food was tasty, served warm not hot. The establishment is in need of some up dating, it is looking a little old and a bit smelly/musty in the bar area. The view is great.. but not enough for us to return.Special Features:
- First time there... and overall,OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/14/2012First time there... and overall, my wife & I did enjoy our dinning experience. We are a {retired} military family, therefore, anytime military service is recognized in our community, we are humbled... greatly appreciated! However, there were two notable exceptions: the wait for our dinner was extremely long, and for whatever reason, it LITERALLY took 30 minutes to receive the check... 30 minutes after our dinnerware were collected, we were still waiting to check out, hence, ther reason for the "service rating." It seems like a simple think to correct, therefore, we did not put too much emphasis on it. With that said, we will certainly make an attempt to visit you again!Special Features:
- We both ordered a dish andarlenebobbyDined on 9/11/2012We both ordered a dish and they brought us a dish that we didn't order. We ended up sharing the first dish they brought out, but had to wait while they cooked the 2nd dish. Our waiter was really nice and friendly. The Manager came to our table to appologize for the error and gave us the 2nd dish and a chocolate cake for free. The fire pits were set up outside. After our meal we went outside and sat on the patio with the fire pits, talked and watched the beautiful city lights. The place had 80's or 90's rock/hip hop playing. Better song selection would have been nice.Special Features:
- Sunbird was an all aroundOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/9/2012Sunbird was an all around great place to eat. The food was absolutely delicious, especially their banana foster! The setting is quite unique with a beautiful view of Colorado Springs and surrounding areas. To top everything off the service was quite good as our waitress was very attentive and accomadating.Special Features:
- The ambiance is wonderful,OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/7/2012The ambiance is wonderful, with beautiful views from the wide windows.

This is definitely a "return to" restaurant.Special Features:

- Too spendy for food quality.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/4/2012Too spendy for food quality. Way too much dressing on both house and ceasar salads. Shrimp scampi dry and lacking flavor. Lovely presentation of complimentary birthday cheesecake. Nice to sit on patio after dinner
- If you want the best foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/2/2012If you want the best food prepared in the best way, the Sunbird is the place! One cannot ask for better ambiance and pleasant service. Get a table in the Bar--it's not noisy as some bars are. and the view of the Springs is great. And lastly, you might think that a posh place like this is bound to break your wallet--Not so.Special Features:
- A ROMANTIC BIRTHDAY DINNEROpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/1/2012Richie Hart made my husband's birthday so very special. He added that extra touch which I'm sure he does for all his guests.

Made reservations for a window table, we get there and were told that there were none open for at least an hour. We drove 50+ miles to celebrate that upsets me, in no way were we accomidated please do not tell me two hours before our reservation we are good, then tell me an hour wait. Now our waitress, she was awesome! She made my wife feel special and took care of our every need. 2. The view was breath taking!, although there was a wedding reception going on so it was very loud for an hour or so. But let me tell you the sunset there was worth it. 3.

Nice shrimp pasta dish, although a little short on sauce (somewhat dry). Awesome view, with a big patio and active fire pits!

If only they can get their chef try as hard on Friday and Saturday nights about preparing appetizers quickly (less than 20 mins please) and making sure they are HOT all the way through and NOT FROZEN in the middle. This restaurant needs a visit from Corporate to see about a new head chef or a re-org in kitchen staff. It also needs a simple glass noise partition out back on the cliff to shield the road noise. New carpet and paint inside would be good too. That said, the bar and wait staff is very attentive and kind. And, the brunch was nice. If Corporate can't fix the kitchen and add patio glass to reduce road noise, and remodel a bit, then please ask the Chart House rest. to purchase them and run it right.Special Features:

- Great service. So-so fooduawolfVIPDined on 8/19/2012Great service. So-so food on the brunch line. Chef doesn't know how to make brisket or pulled pork for a buffet line as both were tough and marginal on the taste scale, but the prime rib was good. Poached salmon was OK but a bit hard to serve with just the small fish forks to peel it off the bones. Eggs definitely need work. Sausage was good. Iced seafood was OK ... but can we do away with the in-the-shell shrimp, please? There is no way to eat that stuff without getting it all over yourself. Try scampi or peeled shrimp instead, OK? Bacon was marginal (soggy). Service was great ... or did I say that already? Overall, this is a middle of the road Sunday brunch. Could definitely come up with better quality food for the price.Special Features:

California Chrome favored in 140th Kentucky Derby
California Chrome has the Kentucky Derby post that trainer Art Sherman wanted and a sparkling resume that has made him the horse to beat in the 140th edition at Churchill Downs.
AP Sports Writer
California Chrome has the Kentucky Derby post that trainer Art Sherman wanted and a sparkling resume that has made him the horse to beat in the 140th edition at Churchill Downs.
By maximizing that position to get ahead of a speedy 19-horse field, he could earn a garland of red roses Saturday and take an important first step toward ending a 36-year Triple Crown champion drought.
Both are huge challenges, but the chestnut colt seems capable of getting a leg up in the sport's marquee race. California Chrome is unbeaten as a 3-year-old and has six wins and a second in 10 starts.
Starting from the fifth position as a 5-2 morning-line favorite, he aims to become the first California-bred Derby winner in 52 years and make Sherman, 77, the oldest winning trainer.
The scheduled post time is 6:24 p.m. EDT with temperatures expected in the low-70s and a 10 percent chance of showers, conditions that Sherman hopes will pay off for California Chrome and jockey Victor Espinoza.
"I like it fine," Sherman said after Wednesday's post draw. "Victor says he likes it. Says he won the Kentucky Derby from the five (on War Emblem in 2002). I'm happy and I feel no pressure."
Whether California Chrome applies or receives pressure from the quick field around him, and how much, are the big questions. While his four-race winning streak coming in proves that he has had the final word, several horses could make the opening statement.
Vicar's In Trouble isn't expected to make it as a 20-1 longshot starting from the first post position, but his jockey is motivated by a shot at history. Rosie Napravnik aims to become the first female to win horse racing's marquee event and comes in riding momentum from Friday's victory by filly Untapable in the Kentucky Oaks.
That win also positioned her to become the first woman to accomplish the Oaks-Derby double and the first rider to do so since Hall of Famer Calvin Borel did it in 2009. Napravnik was fifth in last year's Derby and is confident about one of three mounts trained by Mike Maker.
Maker's other horses are General a Rod (15-1) and Harry's Holiday (50-1), which starts alongside Vicar's in Trouble.
"We got the first half completed, so we're moving on to the second half of the double," Napravnik said after the 4½-length victory.
Added co-owner Ken Ramsey: "Well, the 1-hole is the closest way home. ... We're going to save a little ground. He's got tactical speed."
One early push could come from 6-1 second choice Wicked Strong, named for victims of last year's Boston Marathon bombings. Trained by Jimmy Jerkens, he won the Wood Memorial with a strong finish and will go off from the far post position with Rajiv Maragh aboard.
"It might be that speed is quick and they get to rolling in a clump and he can draft in behind them and it'll work out OK," Jerkens said. "The one positive is that he's not in the gate very long. I'm trying to convince myself that it's not a bad post, but I don't know if I can."
Then again, don't be shocked if one of Todd Pletcher's four Derby horses make a charge. Arkansas Derby winner Danza is listed as a 10-1 shot, Intense Holiday is 12-1, while Vinceremos and We Miss Artie are 30-1 and 50-1, respectively.
Tapiture is 2-2-2 in seven starts with trainer Steve Asmussen, who is under investigation by Kentucky and New York racing officials after an animal rights group allege that he and his former assistant mistreated horses in their care.
Asmussen didn't address the matter when asked after winning the Oaks with Untapable. He wants to see if Tapiture can continue his success at Churchill Downs, where the horse had a win and two thirds as a 2-year-old.
"I've been very pleased with who he is since he came back to Churchill and I think a lot of that has to do with his experience here all last fall," Asmussen said. "He's a horse that spent a lot of time here, in this barn, and has had a lot of success over this racetrack."

What are you drinking these days? Fall/Winter Cocktails 2013-2014
- ChristinaMason Dec 11, 2013 10:35 AM
Didn't see a recent thread on this, so thought I'd start one.
Last night I made up an interesting twist on the Manhattan that went down way too smoothly:
2 oz. rye (I used Old Overholt)
1/2 oz. sweet red vermouth (I used Noilly Pratt)
1/2 oz. Belle de Brillet (pear and cognac liqueur)
2-3 dashes Scrappy's cardamom bitters
Stir and strain over a (large) cube of ice. I was too lazy to dig out a garnish but a pear slice or cherry would be nice.
How about you? Any new recipes or old favorites for the holiday season?
Best cocktail I've made recently is called "Equinox" (seems to be one of many), apparently created at Eastern Standard in Boston[1]:
Spiced syrup:
2 c water
2 c sugar
1 tbsp whole cloves
1 tbsp whole star anise
3 cinnamon sticks
Heat up until sugar dissolves. Simmer 15m. Remove from heat. Pour into a container, allow to rest in the refrigerator for 24h. Strain and use.
1.5oz calvados
3/4oz lemon juice
3/4oz syrup
1d Angostura
Shake/strain/garnish with a lemon twist.
The syrup is really awesome. I made Peking Duck for Thanksgiving, to which I added a bit of Five Spice for additional aroma, and the spices in the syrup matched it perfectly.
[1] Reference: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/20...
Another drink I'm really interested in, but have not tried yet, is "Chancleta Vieja," created by Danny Valdez of The Regent Cocktail Club, in Miami. (Found in this month's issue of Imbibe):
2oz rye
1/2oz sweet vermouth
3/4oz unsweetened coconut milk
2d Angostura
1d chocolate bitters
Stir, strain into a coupe (even though the photo above the recipe shows it in a rocks glass, with a cube of ice?), orange twist.
re: davis_sq_pro
The coconut milk cocktail intrigues me. I may try it, but I need to get some chocolate bitters. Any brand you favor?
re: ChristinaMason
The one I have right now is the Bittermen's Xocolatl, which I like a lot. It's not 100% chocolate-focused but I like the balance of flavors. If you want something a bit more one-note, the Fee Bros Aztec Chocolate is supposed to fit that bill.
re: ChristinaMason
Well I made the coconut milk drink just now. It is ABSOLUTELY GHASTLY.
The result, after stirring, is something that looks rather lumpy and disgusting in the glass. Maybe shaking would help there. But there are deeper problems, like the fact that the drink has not nearly enough sweetness to balance. My first sip left me with a lingering flavor of disgusting in my mouth. The drink tastes a little bit better now that I've dashed in some simple, but I think I'll toss it down the drain and make a Negroni instead.
re: davis_sq_pro
haha, OK. Thanks for taking that bullet.
re: davis_sq_pro
Yah, I saw coconut and Rye and my first reaction was blech.
Electronic rotten tomatoes probably headed my way, but I really enjoy and "appletini" in December. The colors are just so festive. It makes me happy when I'm wrapping gifts.
Otherwise, I've been putting a dent in our red wine collection to make room for the annual wine sale that happens in January. Just finished a better than expected California Cab.
re: autumm
Me too, back when the family was nearby it was a bowl of eggnog, now I just do individual Brandy Alexanders for the few that stop by.
I've had fun creating Old Fashioneds for the new bar I work with. Some on menu, some off menu specials. They are not too sweet and nicely balanced. The Gin Quince OF has been written up locally twice so far.
Gin Quince - Tuthilltown Half Moon Orchard gin, long simmered quince syrup, house pomegranate/orange blossom grenadine, Ango bitters.
Rum Spice - El Dorado 12 yr. demerara rum, spice syrup- cinnamon, cassia, vanilla, clove, allspice, nutmeg, cardomom, mace, and my original Colonial bitters.
Gin Five Peppercorn - New Holland Knickerbocker gin, peppercorn syrup- black, white, green, pink, szechuan, and Ango.
Bourbon Spiced Fruitcake - Redemption bourbon, fruitcake syrup- figs, dates, dried apricots and pineapple, rasins, above spice syrup, and Ango.
re: hawkeyeui93
Folks are going nuts over the Gin Quince OF, and the others almost as much.
re: JMF
I'd post the recipe for my quince syrup, but you need a lab centrifuge to extract the syrup from the puree. I think you could make it by letting the puree strain through a filter in a fridge overnight. Lots less syrup, but it actually might end up very clear. I'll come back later with a home version.
Gin Quince Old Fashioned- JMForester
2 oz. Tuthilltown Half Moon Orchard gin (Bombay Sapphire East works well too)
.75 oz. House Quince syrup
.25 oz. House Grenadine
.25 oz. Rothman & Winters Apricot liqueur
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Stir on ice and strain over 1 large cube in a chilled Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with lemon peel.
House Grenadine: 1 cup POM, 1 cup sugar, .5-.75 oz. Lemon juice, .25 Orange Blossom. Cold mixed.
re: JMF
I tried to make rose hip jam this summer but it turned out like syrup; so I've been using it in place of cranberry juice in mixed cocktails. I didn't strain at all, there are some seeds in the bottom but very well received, regardless.
I do quince too but you're right, it will always come out thicker than expected. I'll be watching for your home version.
re: EWSflash
Oops, I did it again
My partners sister shared this one- simple but delicious.
Trader Joes spiced cider, dark spiced rum (I use Gosslings), squeeze of lemon or lime and some
grated fresh nutmeg.
I also add a splash of brandy for good measure.
I've also been making a hot version with added spices and more brandy.
re: ghostpeppergirl
Goslings isn't a spiced rum. Just a blend of dark rums.
Another new favorite: vodka infused with vanilla bean, fresh ginger,cloves , cinnamon and cardamom mixed with lemon seltzer and a shot of cherry juice concentrate. Warm and refreshing without the cloying sweetness of some holiday drinks.
re: ghostpeppergirl
Darn it, more infusions to make! Do you infuse them all in one bottle or each flavor separately?
I already have vanilla and ginger home infused. Love the cardamom idea, it's so under utilized
Most of the year, I lean heavily towards gin-based drinks, and many of them feature some kind of citrus (with the exception of martinis). As the weather gets colder, I tend to gravitate more toward simpler drinks made with dark spirits and less citrus--things like Old Fashioned's, Manhattans, Sazeracs, Dark and Stormy's, etc.
I also turn more to cocktails with herbal notes in the colder months, such as the Last Word, The Vieux Carre, Cocktail La Louisiane, Chrysanthemum, etc.
I'm more likely to enjoy whisky or rum neat/on the rocks in the winter than in the summer. There's something more contemplative about colder months that lends itself to sitting by the fire and slowly sipping a spirit by itself.
Boulevardier for me. Now featuring Breckenridge bourbon, Vya sweet and Campari. Yum.
re: FlyerFan
Also excellent with Punt e Mes!
re: FlyerFan
Fig and Sage. Muddle slightly 5 or 6 sage leaves, add 2 oz. Jameson Whiskey, 1 oz. fig syrup (homemade), 1/2 oz. lemon juice. Shake w/ice & double strain over a rocks glass w/fresh ice. Garnish with a sage leaf after rubbing around the rim of the glass. These proportions can be a little sweet, depending on the strength of the syrup--you can just use less of it too.
re: The Loaf
Interesting. Will try.
re: The Loaf
That sounds delicious, TheLoaf. How do you make your fig syrup?
re: curseofleisure
Chop some dried figs & add 2x as much brown sugar (i.e. 1 lb. figs to 2lbs sugar). Cover with water, heat and simmer for... as long as you like. When done, add a little lemon juice or citric acid to balance the flavor. That's the method, but I play with the proportions. I also usually pour off the syrup and then heat the figs again with fresh water to extract as much flavor as possible. When all is done, you can toss the (now mostly flavorless, but still somewhat nutritious) figs into your breakfast oatmeal. Waste not, want not.
I peruse Yarm's blog almost any time I'm in the mood for something new, and that's where I found the Autumn Sunset, which is about as perfect a Fall/Winter cocktail as I think you can create.
1 1/2 oz Bourbon
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth
1/2 oz Dry Vermouth
1/4 oz Allspice Dram
1/4 oz Benedictine
Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Flame an orange twist and discard.
re: The Big Crunch
I made one for my staff the other day to show them how simple ingredients can come together and make great, well balanced cocktail.
re: The Big Crunch
very nice, thanks.
I recently had another tasty one--an oldie but goodie:
Nicky Finn
Basically equal parts brandy, Cointreau, lemon juice, and Pernod (I used pastis). Delicious---like a nice twist on a Sidecar.
re: ChristinaMason
That link calls for a dash of pastis. I'm guessing that's what you meant.
re: EvergreenDan
Oh, oops, yes. Equal parts of everything but the pastis.
Some Cuervo Gold with Michigan tart cherry concentrate and Korean plum/pomegranate vinegar. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

Konami will be releasing both Parodius Portable and TwinBee Portable on the PSP on January 25 in Japan. Parodius Portable contains all 4 Parodius games: (except spin-off ParoWars) Parodius DA! Gokujou Parodius Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius: Forever with me Sexy Parodius The Parodius series is one of the best and most fun SHMUP series of all time. A stand alone Sexy Parodius port would have been worthwhile, but with all 4 games this is simply a must-have for any SHMUP fan. I mean where else could you play a SHMUP while listening to Glenn Miller's Up in the mood in the background? TwinBee portable also contains all of the TwinBee games: (except spin-offs TwinBee RPG and Puzzle Drama) TwinBee Detana TwinBee Pop n' TwinBee TwinBee Yahoo! The TwinBee games are vertical SHMUPS and overall all of them are highly enjoyable, and very fun. My personal fave is Yahoo, which is amazingly fun. Even though I already have all of those for the Saturn and PS I really wish I had a PSP then I would buy them in a heartbeat just so I could play them everwhere. Any import fan should really take notice, these games are worth their price in gold in my opinion.

Incorporated directly into a cell phone housing, the team's nanogenerator could harvest and convert vibration energy from a surface, such as the passenger seat of a moving vehicle, into power for the phone. "We believe this development could be a new solution for creating self-charged personal electronics," says Xudong Wang, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Wang, his Ph.D. student Yanchao Mao and collaborators from Sun Yat-sen University in China, and the University of Minnesota Duluth described their device, a mesoporous piezoelectric nanogenerator, in the January 27, 2014, issue of the journal Advanced Energy Materials.
The nanogenerator takes advantage of a common piezoelectric polymer material called polyvinylidene fluoride, or PVDF. Piezoelectric materials can generate electricity from a mechanical force; conversely, they also can generate a mechanical strain from an applied electrical field.
Rather than relying on a strain or an electrical field, the researchers incorporated zinc oxide nanoparticles into a PVDF thin film to trigger formation of the piezoelectric phase that enables it to harvest vibration energy. Then, they etched the nanoparticles off the film; the resulting interconnected pores — called "mesopores" because of their size — cause the otherwise stiff material to behave somewhat like a sponge.
That sponge-like material is key to harvesting vibration energy. "The softer the material, the more sensitive it is to small vibrations," says Wang.
The nanogenerator itself includes thin electrode sheets on the front and back of the mesoporous polymer film, and the researchers can attach this soft, flexible film seamlessly to flat, rough or curvy surfaces, including human skin. In the case of a cell phone, it uses the phone's own weight to enhance its displacement and amplify its electrical output.
The nanogenerator could become an integrated part of an electronic device — for example, as its back panel or housing — and automatically harvest energy from ambient vibrations to power the device directly.
Wang says the simplicity of his team's design and fabrication process could scale well to larger manufacturing settings. "We can create tunable mechanical properties in the film," he says. "And also important is the design of the device. Because we can realize this structure, phone-powering cases or self-powered sensor systems might become possible."

Kristalina Georgieva will open an exhibition 'Hidden Lives: The Untold Story of Urban Refugees' on Monday 26 November from 18.00 to 20.00 at Les Halles de Saint-Géry in Brussels.
The multimedia event is a part of an awareness-raising campaign on urban refugees, supported by the European Commission. It is implemented by the International Rescue Committee, one of the Commission's humanitarian partners.
The event will feature a conversation with the award-winning (including World Press Photo) photographer Andrew McConnell, who has spent several months documenting the new reality for urban refugees in eight cities across four continents. Through images, refugee testimonials, and video, his work offers a unique insight into the lives of today's urban refugees and the challenges they face.

It's not exactly a battle on the level of Beatles vs. Stones, but if you're a fan of the legendary ska outfit known as the Specials, then you've likely indulged in this particular question: which is better, The Specials or More Specials? Both certainly have their merits, but for the purposes of today's discussion, we're just going to casually throw it out there that, if it's been awhile since you've listened to the albums and you find that you'd kind of like to revisit the band's sophomore effort, today would be a really great day for that, as it's just been reissued on 180-gram vinyl.
Was that too blatant a plug? If so, well, what are you gonna do? We had to draw your attention to it one way or the other, because not only is it a pretty great album, but we're really excited to be able to bring this new vinyl reissue to you.
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes:
Big Wreck, In Loving Memory Of / The Pleasure and the Greed: Aficionados of Canadian rock – or at least of Canadian frontmen (stand up, please, Ian Thornley) – will be pleased to see that the first two albums by Big Wreck have been added to our digital catalog. Their debut, 1997's In Loving Memory Of, remains the band's most popular effort by far thanks to tracks like "The Oaf (My Luck is Wasted)," "That Song," "Blown Wide Open," and "Under the Lighthouse," all of which were top-40 hits in Canada. Unfortunately, while there's considerable merit to their 2001 sophomore effort as well, The Pleasure and Greed didn't get much in the way of proper marketing, so sales were disappointing…but, on the other hand, that also means that you might not yet have had the good fortune of hearing songs like "Inhale," "Ladylike," and "Knee Deep," so, hey, now's your chance!
Corona, "Rhythm of the Night": In case you've noticed the use of quotation marks around the title rather than the usual italics, that's because this is a single rather than the 13-track album of the same name. It must be said, though, that this is a case where, if you only own one song by Corona, then this is the one to own. (It was their only top-40 hit.)
The Cars,Studio Album Collection: 1978-1987: Knowing that some of you may be among those folks whose Cars collection only features one of their best-of collections and nothing more, you may be interested in this offering, which compiles all six of the studio albums the band released during their tenure on Elektra in one handy, dandy, reasonably-priced package. Of course, that means you don't get "Tonight She Comes," which was originally exclusive to their 1985 greatest-hits album, but if you've already got a greatest-hits disc, anyway (and it's turned up on every one that's ever come out), then what's the problem?
Okay, so maybe the headline kind of says it all in this instance, but we're still gonna spell it out for you, just in case: if you're a Pantera fan who's also a vinyl purist, you heard about the live album that was added to the 20th anniversary reissue of Far Beyond Driven, and you thought, "Man, I sure wish they'd release that thing on vinyl," this is your lucky week.
Yes, Far Beyond Bootleg: Live from Donnington '94 is now available on vinyl.

On March 14, Morrissey's fourth proper studio album, Vauxhall and I, celebrated its 20th anniversary... and on June 3, 2014, the celebration continues, with Rhino releasing the definitive master of the album.
When Vauxhall and I was originally released, the reviews were, for all practical purposes, just as rapturous as those doled out to its predecessor, 1992's Your Arsenal. Q described the lyrical tone of the album as "predictably melodramatic and self-pitying" but "more resigned and even peaceful," and handed out a five-star rating," while the All Music Guide suggested that album contained "some of Morrissey's best material since the Smiths," adding that, "out of all his solo albums, Vauxhall and I sounds the most like his former band, yet the textured, ringing guitar on this record is an extension of his past, not a replication of it." The record-buying public proved to be equally charmed, sending the album to the top of the charts in the UK and providing him with the highest-charting US album of his career up to that point (#18).

Booze University: 6 Cool College Classes About Alcohol
Maybe you got an unofficial bachelor's degree in beer, but some colleges actually offer courses on drinking. Cheers to that. Here, six of the best.
The Whisky Course
Algonquin College-Ontario, Canada
Just across the northern boarder, Algonquin College in Ontario offers a class on whisky. Although the emphasis is on Scotch whisky families, students also explore American bourbon, Tennessee whiskey, and Canadian rye whisky, among others. Bonus: The legal drinking age in Ontario is 19, so if you're under 21, this is the place to go. You'll learn about the history and unique distillation practices of each area, while also getting schooled on how to recognize certain tastes and aromas (through tasting and sampling, of course).
