Trends, expectations and ambitions of drinkable art
It’s 2019 and you think you’ve seen it all, still, every time you give voice to this sentence, something new comes up and you ought to eat your words back… or drink them, in this case. Yes, but responsibly, because we are about to unveil a series of trends in the world of mixology that will make you thirsty.
If last year was marked by out-of-the-ordinary picks such as adding CBD oil to a cocktail, the spotlight for the incoming trends is much centered to cutting back to the essentials. Keep the umbrellas for birthday parties, and move backward to when mixing ingredients was the only thing that mattered. Today mixologists are filing their ice-sculpturing tools and are encouraged to make their creations unforgettable in flavor and taste alone, rather than their adornments.

Teetotalers, brace yourselves: a growing number of mixologists is also experimenting liquid medleys to widen their in-menu offer of mocktails. It’s okay to be tired of grenadine and juice concoctions, you could see it from the distance that those mocktails were lacking love in them. Rejoice, mixologists are challenging their taste buds to give life to unprecedented alcohol-free gourmet mocktails.

When it comes to trends, experimentation is key, and 2019 is going to be filled with interesting matches. Savory dishes are inspiring mixologists to squeeze such perfect combination of ingredients into cocktails, shaping unusual food and beverage mashups. Who said that onion, endive, chorizo or anchovy couldn’t be part of a drink? Seems impossible, and as an Italian seems a bit unacceptable, but someone in the mixology industry has created a Cacio e Pepe Martini as a proof that the line between food and drinks is growing thinner and influences are coming directly from the kitchen. Not only, but the bravest ones are also considering mushrooms as the first ingredient: have them infused in tea and mixed with sparkling wine or pair them to thyme and vodka, either way, it will certainly be an unforgettable first time for your palate.
Arm yourself with all the creativity you have and limit your worries to how many of the abovementioned ideas you’ll be able to custom, as we provide you with the tools you’ll need to succeed.
Salute!
