La Fée LIVE is the first dedicated online Absinthe bar training facility in the world.

La Fée is excited to roll out this new, clean and green technology to further educate our partners, their clients and consumers during the coming decade. Our unique media bar is custom-built for brand training, development and awareness.  Changing the way sales teams are trained today, harmonising new technology for sales teams training to that associated with management video conferencing. Having laid hundreds of metres of fibre-optic and CAT5 cable to a unique bar with permanent multi camera installations & flat screen monitors, we can now offer seamless communication with any partner signed up to our service across Europe, the Americas & Asia-Pacific.

We now offer dedicated interactive online absinthe training sessions from our UK HQ:  In partnership with our global distributors we aim to directly train sales teams with live sessions and offer full seminars and interviews – all in real-time.  At a moment’s notice we can arrange live and interactive sessions to any location world-wide.

The bespoke system is designed to suit the needs of our distribution partners, with face to face communication; no travel time, great flexibility in arranging sessions and instant access to our expertise - all whilst greatly reducing travel related carbon emissions.  This will allow for more direct investment in supporting our clients.  Already Vinopolis, World Duty Free and Glazer’s Family of Companies have expressed interest in utilising this technology, as we look to offer regular weekly training to our key industry partners.

The dedicated system has been built to give La Fée the ability to train, converse and give interviews the world over at very short notice, taking communication with the brand to a new and dynamic level.  Testing of the media platform has been carried out with Cellar Trends (UK) and is soon to commence with Glazer’s of Missouri & Glazer’s of Ohio (USA) & Think Spirits (Asia-Pacific).

La Fée is dramatically expanding from its European home across the USA and into Asia-Pacific.  As a consequence it is clearly impossible to maintain the level of education we would wish using traditional methods.  Our dedicated team can now be in two places at once, thanks to utilising this new, exciting & far greener technology - clearly the future for training in the spirits industry.  George Rowley, 12th July 2010

The Sazerac

Some say that the Sazerac is the first cocktail; it's certainly the first New Orleans cocktail; acknowledged by many as the home of the cocktail.

New Orleans — being closely tied with France — was absinthe's home in the US.

Mixologist Jonathan Pogash shows us how to make the Sazerac.

Antoine Amadie Peychaud

Since 1793 Antoine Amadie Peychaud — a Creole apothecary with a shop in the French Quarter of New Orleans — sold his own patent medicine known as Peychaud Bitters. This was later added to toddy with cognac, and is believed to be the first cocktail.

Demand was so strong that in 1850 a large bar by the name of The Sazerac was opened to sell the drink, and it is believed that one of the bartenders there started the addition of a few drops of absinthe to the cocktail. With this addition, the Sazerac as we know it today was born.
