What makes a truly excellent cocktail?
PROFESSIONAL GLASS CHILLER
N'ICE brings the quality of cocktails into a new era
For the past couple of years, the world of cocktails has been experiencing a period of great innovation, with increasingly creative bartenders attentive to new trends.
However, the history of cocktails starts from afar: it was 1786 when vermouth was invented, which immediately spread as a fashionable aperitif in all European cafés.
The word "Cocktail" was instead used for the first time in 1806: from that moment national and international liqueurs and spirits began to be mixed with fruit juices, bitters and spices to give life to the great art of Mixing.
Over time, also thanks to cinema, advertising and TV, the fame of cocktails has not stopped growing, transforming the work of Barman and Bartender into increasingly competent real artists.
But what makes an excellent cocktail?
An excellent cocktail requires high quality ingredients, a perfect balance of flavours, an attractive presentation and a good dose of creativity.
The quality of the ingredients
A cocktail can only be made exceptional if the ingredients used are of high quality. This means that alcoholic beverages should be branded, fresh and well preserved, while fruit juices and other ingredients should be fresh and in season. Furthermore, the choice of ingredients must be made with care to ensure that they are balanced and harmonious.
The balance of flavours
Another important factor in creating an excellent cocktail is the balance of flavors. A good cocktail should have a combination of sweetness, acidity, bitterness and aromas, all balanced to create a complex yet harmonious taste. Experts recommend using the "2:1:1 rule," which is two parts liqueur, one part lemon or lime juice, and one part sugar syrup.
The presentation
The presentation of a cocktail is just as important as its taste. A well-presented drink attracts attention and whets the appetite. Experts recommend using glasses suitable for the type of cocktail, fresh decorations such as flowers or fruit, and serving the drink with fresh ice.
The creativity
Finally, an excellent cocktail must be creative and original. It is essential to experiment with new flavors and ingredients to create unique and memorable drinks. However, it is important not to go overboard with ingredients or flavours, but rather to find a balance between originality and taste.
Personalization
Another important aspect to consider is the customization of the cocktails. Customers appreciate when the bartender is able to create a bespoke cocktail for them, based on their tastes and preferences. This creates a personalized experience that makes customers feel special and encourages them to come back.
Therefore, Bartenders and Bartenders must be able to find the perfect balance between flavours, textures and original presentations.
To achieve this, many professionals are experimenting with unusual ingredients, such as exotic spices, herbs and tropical fruits.
Furthermore, technology is becoming increasingly important in the world of cocktails, with the use of tools such as centrifuges, dryers and sous-vide machines.
One of the most requested machines on the current market is the glass cooler
The glass chillers are professional machines capable of cooling and sanitizing glasses quickly and in an absolutely scenographic way.
They are the ideal tool for:

N'ICE has developed a line of professional glass chillers that allow glasses to be cooled using the thermal shock of CO2. Their task is to lower the temperature of any glass from 19°C to -40°C in just 10 seconds and to increase the duration of freezing by 0°C for about 10 minutes.
Furthermore, our glass chillers eliminate 80% of the bacteria present on the surface of the glasses, which risk polluting cocktails, wines, beers and drinks.
N'ICE helps to reduce the consumption of ice and, consequently, to always serve non-diluted drinks, but also to guarantee absolutely healthy drinks free from bad odors or microbial charges.
