Ray Sakover – Paradise Lost – co-owner & Beverage Director
“Ray Sakover is the co-owner and Beverage Director of Paradise Lost, a cocktail bar opening later this year in New York City promising hellfire, whimsical drinks, and a healthy dose of The Cramps. Ray loves r(h)um and all of its “rhapsodies” and enjoys a good craft beer or a solid gin & tonic from time to time. When he isn’t planning world domination, Ray listens to The Last Podcast Network, strums some guitar, and avoids Uber doors on his bicycle.
Ray currently lives in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn.”
What You’ll Learn:
We will explore what escapism looks like in the context of restaurants and bars by beginning with a brief history of the themed bar/restaurant dating back to the late 19th Century and early 20th Century leading up to the 1930s. Then we are going to get into the faux-Polynesian restaurant theme (a.k.a the tiki bar) and its explosion relating to the demand for escapism in the mid-twentieth century. Finally, we will discuss what defines a tiki bar in the 21st century by looking at a handful of bars today (including a sneak-peek into Paradise Lost) while we consider what escapism really means for the modern tropical bar.

Topic: Behind the scenes at Flor de Caña. Brief: Mauricio Solorzano (Flor de Caña Global Brand Ambassador) talks about 4 key components of the Nicaraguense family company. Quick history facts: This story began 1875 when Alfredo Francisco Pellas Canessa, a young adventurer from Genoa, Italy, risked everything by leaving behind his family and the comforts of the old continent to travel to the exotic country of Nicaragua. Initially, he invested in a shorter and safer steam boat route through Nicaragua to transport passengers and goods from the East Coast of the US to the West Coast during the height of the California Gold Rush. The route was a huge success, but when news broke about the construction of the Panama Canal and the U.S. coast-to-coast railroad, Alfredo Francisco knew it was time to set out on a new adventure. In 1890, he found the perfect setting for the Flor de Caña distillery at the base of the San Cristóbal volcano, the tallest and most active volcano in Nicaragua. The fertility of its surrounding lands, the enriched water and the hot volcanic climate proved to be instrumental in forging the rum’s unique and distinguished character. Through its 130-year history, the brand, the company and the family have lived through a plane crash, a civil war, nationalizations, hyperinflation, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Throughout all this, and against all odds, the company has also been able to remain a family business for five generations:
Only 3 in 10,000 family businesses make it to the 5th generation!
About: Mauricio Solorzano Born in Nicaragua in April 1964. Earned a degree in Public Relations in Costa Rica. Mauricio has worked for Flor de Caña Rum for more than 20 years and is currently the Global Brand Ambassador. This position has allowed him to represent the brand in more than 30 countries, introducing thousands to the world of super premium rums and sharing with pride the Flor de Caña story.
Topic: All Hands on Deck – Why Tiki Must Get Green

Looking back through history, the rise of Tiki lined up perfectly with the rise of plastic and the cheapening of global commodities. If you’re curious how far the movement has come since then, look no further than the glass in front of you today — the quintessential Tiki drink is adorned with tropical flowers, relies on globally sourced products, and comes with a hefty dose of plastic knick-knacks. It’s what we love about it, but also what has consistently made it one of the worst offenders in how cocktail culture contributes to Climate Change. This is the critical decade to fight this fight and the world needs Tiki on board. Can we redesign Tiki to “be better” and “get greener”, while still keeping its essence?
Bio —
Claire Sprouse has bartended, managed, and consulted at some of the country’s most well-known and awarded cocktail institutions, from Houston to San Francisco and now New York City.

Most recently, Sprouse opened her first bar — Hunky Dory in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. In its first year, the bar & restaurant landed many accolades, including being named on several “Best of New York” annual lists.
