Go retro.<\/strong> Should old acquaintance be forgot? Not when it comes to vintage cocktails. Classic cocktails such as the Sidebar, Aviation, and Sazerac are being discovered by younger diners and rediscovered by older ones.<\/p>\n Adopta un enfoque centrado en el chef.<\/strong> According to the Chicago-based research firm Technomic Inc., flavor attracts consumers and keeps them coming back in every category and segment of spirits, wine, and beer. Create housemade signature syrups and infusions of fresh fruit and herbs. Incorporate savory, smoky, and burnt flavors into beverages. Add umami with buzz-worthy meat cocktails that include bacon, sausage, beef jerky, and chicken broth in their mix. Go veg-centric with beets, okra, and other veggies. Tap into the popularity of beer cocktails by mixing bloody-Mary spices, hot sauce, clamato juice, soy sauce, chipotle-tomato juice, beef broth, and tequila into various brews.<\/p>\n Calienta.<\/strong> Even if the weather outside isn\u2019t frightful, hot, boozy coffee cocktails such as Irish or Spanish Coffee and Caf\u00e9 Br\u00fblot bring comfort, joy, and distinction to bar menus. Spike hot chocolate and cider. Use on-trend matcha for tea cocktails. For nonalcoholic holiday beverages, use flavored syrups and whipped cream to boost the indulgence factor.<\/p>\n Planifica maridajes perfectos.<\/strong> Enumera sugerencias de maridaje de bebidas para tus men\u00fas de platos para compartir y aperitivos, tal y como har\u00edas con tu men\u00fa habitual. Forma a los camareros para que orienten a los clientes hacia buenas opciones.<\/p>\n Seleccionar bebidas artesanales.<\/strong> Distinctive craft beers, craft cocktails, and housemade craft sodas offer premiumization and enhanced flavor.<\/p>\n Pour on the shareables.<\/strong> Expand the sharing-plates experience with pitchers of colorful punch, spigot jars with fruit-infused cocktails, or punch bowls of Tom and Jerry (another retro holiday favorite) for the whole table. Shareable beverages are ideal for large parties, offer value, and allow for individual portion control. One example: At Rickhouse in San Francisco a shareable punchbowl of rum, lemon juice, bitters, ginger beer, and amaro CioCiaro sold for $50.<\/p>\n Presentaciones perfectas.<\/strong> Sure, we eat with our eyes, but guests also love to drink in the beauty of artfully prepared beverages. Ramp up garnishes\u2014use extra layers of fresh fruit or veggies, colorful spices, sprigs of fresh herbs, and sprinkles of crushed peppermint or shaved chocolate\u2014that add flavor while enhancing perceived value. Add special barware to the mix, too, as beautiful glasses make drinks look special. <\/p>\n Break out the bubbles.<\/strong> Think beyond champagne and sparkling wine. \u201cSpritzes\u201d of soda water, juice, liquor, and bitters are today\u2019s white-wine spritzers. Fizzy \u201cadult\u201d versions of soft drinks are also coming on strong, according to Technomic Inc\u2019s 2016 Food Trends Report<\/em>. Use charging canisters to easily carbonate flavored syrups and mixers to be added just before serving \u201cfor a delicious carbonated beverage that differentiates your operation from the competition,\u201d advises Gordon Food Service Corporate Consulting Chef Gerry Ludwig, CEC.<\/p>\n Apuesta por lo local.<\/strong> Give signature beverages a hometown feel with locally produced spirits and other ingredients.
