Frozen cocktails are frozen drinks that are made with alcohol. They are often frozen because they contain a lot of ice, which means they’re typically strong enough to get you drunk quickly! There is no end to the variety of frozen cocktails out there – some have gin or tequila for example, while others might be more fruity and not as potent.
In this blog post, we’ll take a look at what frozen cocktails are, how easy they can be to make, and share with you our favorite recipes so you can try them out yourself!
Why serve frozen cocktails?
Frozen cocktails are a great way to offer your customer something new and exciting, especially in the summer months, when they’re frequently served at bars. However, don’t overlook the possibility of serving them at other times of the year, such as in the winter when they may be a great addition to your seasonal menu.
Another advantage of frozen cocktails is that you may make batches, in either a slushy machine or a blender, which can speed up service and maintain uniformity of presentation. Batch serves as a good alternative when gatherings of large numbers like sports nights or summer evenings occur.
Frozen cocktails are excellent when the drink’s consistency is perfect, which necessitates a good blender and high-quality ice. When mixing, the sour parts should be more abundant than the sweet components since they will taste better when diluted and frozen.
Tips on making the best frozen cocktails
A slushy machine may be a fantastic way to make and store frozen cocktails. Alternatively, choose a high-quality blender! They will last a long time and have a decent guarantee.
Use quality ice. Get your sugar levels in order. It’s amazing how sweetness can evaporate in mixed and frozen cocktails.
Plan ahead! For a few of these frozen alcoholic beverages, you’ll have to plan ahead. Many of the recipes below need freezing components overnight: either the complete drink mix or a portion of it. When we say “Tip,” we mean that you’ll have to freeze stuff ahead of time.
Use the highest quality alcohol available. It’s possible that it goes without saying, but the higher the grade of alcohol used in a cocktail, the better! Our frozen margaritas are delicious with an average tequila, but they’re much nicer with a high-quality tequila. If you’re wondering whether to spend a few extra dollars in the alcohol area, we’d say yes.
Don’t:
Think they’re only for the summer. I know people who enjoy a fantastic frozen margarita at a heated basement bar in mid-December.
Make it harder than it needs to be. There should be a strong range of tastes, not too many or too few. Look up some classic flavor combinations that work well and stick to them.
Frozen cocktail serving tips
Don’t forget the glasses! To keep your frozen cocktail cold, keep some rocks glasses in the freezer.
To make a fuller, more attractive serve, fill the glass to the top.
Make sure you have straws on hand when delivering the beverage to a client! Keep in mind that there may always be that cringe-worthy moment when a clogged straw occurs, so be sure to have thick straws on hand!
