While a lot of bartenders are focusing on what’s inside the cocktail, you can stand out from the gray crowd by using the exact opposite technique, namely, a beautiful presentation. We offer you a list of the most unusual options.
Shots of ice
What could be simpler and more efficient? Ice shots are spectacular, easy to manufacture (just have a silicone mold), and also great for mass production. Unused blanks can be stored for a long time, however, remember that ice perfectly absorbs freezer odors. The solution to this problem is simple – sealing the shots in vacuum packages.
Tequila Salt Shots
Do your guests prefer tequila? Surprise them with salty shots. It is authentically known that they can be bought on the Internet.
Wooden pallet for glass
This is especially true for everything related to construction and cargo transportation. Miniature trays fit perfectly under various snifters and, in general, under glasses with a wide bottom.
The production of these pallets is feasible thanks to straight arms, a jigsaw and glue, although for greater effect I would advise using small nails for the connecting parts of the pallet.
edible shot
Who said dishes have to be made of glass? Many guests will happily eat this glass after drinking a cocktail.
To bake such shots, the intervention of your beloved grandmother and her oven will obviously be required.
Cloning
No, really, do you think there are no easy ways to surprise a visitor to your bar? Let’s say several guests ordered the same cocktails. Prepare them so that the differences between them are minimal.
Unusual figured glasses and identical decorations will help you with this. Then just put them in a row on the same line (from-3x).
Of course, this only works if your guests are ready to go to the bar or are behind it.
Shots from the neck of other bottles
Sold on the Internet or you can make your own unique necks. In this case, get ready to look for an intelligent glassblower.
Frozen Experiences
A creative way that defines the very serving of the cocktail. For example, you can freeze alcohol into cubes and serve it neat, or you can freeze syrup into cubes and then add alcohol to the top of the glasses. In general, there is something to think about and experiment.
Molecular cocktails
Everything is complicated here if you do not plan to do it professionally. It is enough to know that it is beautiful and sometimes tasty. But the path is thorny and requires a lot of time and experimentation.
Use pastry techniques
It is trite to apply an interesting structure to the walls of the glass, and then pour your alcohol. Various techniques are available on Youtube. Below is a simple example of what we are talking about.
Surprise
An obvious way, but in practice it is difficult to implement. Everything depends on your creativity and peeped ideas from the network. Remember: people love different shows and activities. That is why flaming and flairing in bars is so popular. Go further and provide your guests with, for example, a whole scientific chain that will lead to the creation of a cocktail for the very lucky person who paid for this action.
Dry ice
Standard, but very effective. Now almost everyone can buy dry ice, which makes it a must-have at the bar.
The goods face
More related to various juices and smoothies, however, it is worth knowing about this method. The photo shows two lines: the first – squeezed juice; the second is a flask with what this juice is made of.
Cocktails in syringes
As old as the world, however, cheap, beautiful, versatile. The main thing: do not forget to hide the needles.
Cocktails in test tubes
Perhaps, in every big city of the Russian Federation there is a bar where they serve cocktails in test tubes. So what? It’s beautiful. Use and improve your ideas this way.
themed tableware
Oddly enough, many outdoor bars forget about this simple method (or, as usual, just don’t want to bother), but it’s a pretty powerful way to leave good memories of their work and surprise guests. For example, glasses made from bamboo stalks were used to present rice vodka. Effective, eco-friendly, cheap, cool!
