Rituals and Theatre rule
Great restaurants offer great experiences. Great bars need to do the same. Over the next few years, expect to see cocktail bars offer drinking rituals and drinks theatre for experiential enhancement. For instance, at eau-de-vie, a small cocktail bar that I own in Sydney, we use vintage cocktail shakers and outr ufffd serving vessels to add to the customer experience. One of them is a glass shaker cast in the shape of a lady's lower leg, replete with chrome high-heeled slipper. The Lady's Leg Cosmopolitan, the shaker's very own signature drink, sees Ketel One Citroen vodka played off against homemade cranberry sorbet.
Molecular mixology is in
The Molecular mixology movement is maturing (process of creating cocktails using the scientific equipment and techniques of molecular gastronomy). These methods enable the creation of greater varieties of flavour and different ways of presenting drinks using gels, powders, foams and atomised sprays.
Dark spirit makes a comeback
Over a century ago, when the cocktail first emerged, it was predominately a dark spirits drink. Concoctions such as the Old Fashioned, Julep and Manhattan were all made with whiskies and cognacs.
