Whether a martini is dry or wet, classic gin or with made vodka, on the rocks or straight up, it is an enduring classic. Dirty martinis, espresso martinis, creative garnishes have added a bit of variety to what is basically a very simple recipe: gin and dry vermouth served chilled in a coupe or a cocktail glass with an olive or a twist. How do you drink your martini?   #BeverageBusiness #BusinessGrowth #Rebranding #ConsultingServices #BeverageIndustry

Cold vodka, warm whisky: why? In the realm of spirits, understanding the nuances is paramount. 🍸 Vodka, celebrated for its clarity and subtlety, is traditionally served chilled, masking any potential harshness and highlighting its refined smoothness. 🥃 Whisky, a beverage rich in character and complexity, unveils its full spectrum of aromas when served warm. From the undertones of honey and caramel to the pronounced notes of nuts and dried fruits, its warmth is a gateway to a sensory experience. It's essential to recognize that while traditions offer guidance, personal preferences play a pivotal role in one's drinking experience. So, as you navigate the world of spirits, how do you resonate with your drink? Is it the chill of vodka or the warmth of whisky that appeals to you?

Creating a series of cocktails for your cocktail menu, weather its seasonal, monthly or bi-monthly is a great tool to keep your regular customers and guests revisiting your venue and falling in love with your bar program. This is exactly what the legendary Milk&Honey did. The bar team created a series called “HANDS” featuring different cocktails that essentially were variations of other successful cocktails. The Right Hand (Aged Rum), Tres Hands (Tequila/Mezcal) and Smoking Hand (Scotch) were examples of this series.

Why do you swirl wine? You might have seen wine connoisseurs swirl wine in their glass, but they don't do so just because it looks fancy. Swirling wine in your glass helps it open up, unlocking its bouquet of wonderful and delicious aromas. But how does that happen? When you swirl wine, it comes into contact with the oxygen in the air which releases hundreds of aromatic compounds present in the beverage. These aromatic compounds will linger in the bowl of your glass and reach your nose when you lift and tilt it to taste the wine. In the case of red wines, this process also helps soften the tannins, giving them a mellower and well-rounded structure. So, it's just like tossing the ingredients of your dish in a pan and stirring them with a ladle to bring all the flavours together and release all its fragrances. Do you swirl wine?

🍂 Exploring the World of Whiskey 🥃 Whiskey is more than just a drink; it’s a rich tapestry of tradition, craftsmanship, and flavor. Here’s a brief overview of the main types of whiskey: 1. Bourbon: This American classic is made primarily from corn, offering sweet notes of caramel and vanilla. It’s perfect for sipping or in cocktails like the Old Fashioned. 2. Scotch: Originating from Scotland, Scotch is typically made from malted barley. Its flavor can range from light and fruity to rich and smoky, depending on the region. 3. Rye: Known for its spicy profile, rye whiskey must contain at least 51% rye grain. It’s a favorite in classic cocktails, adding complexity and depth. 4. Irish Whiskey: Often triple-distilled for smoothness, this whiskey tends to have a lighter, fruitier flavor. Each type has its unique characteristics and history, making whiskey tasting a delightful journey. Whether you’re a connoisseur or a casual drinker, there’s always something new to discover! What’s your favorite type of whiskey, and how do you enjoy it? #Whiskey #Bourbon #Scotch #Rye #Craftsmanship #FoodAndDrink

Coffee and alcohol are a perfect pair in cocktails. When you use your imagination, there’s no end to the number of coffee beverages that are possible. Making coffee cocktails is similar to cooking: be creative, expand on the recipe and produce your own creations. Vodka’s neutrality makes it the ultimate coffee partner, but the likes of rum, tequila, whisky and bourbon can be just as good. Whisky and rum tend to work better with strong flavours like hazelnut, cinnamon and orange, and pair best with a strong, dark roast coffee. Gin and tequila work nicely with lighter, floral flavours such as berries, almond and mint, and a smoother coffee.
