Watch Mark Moriarty and James Fowler as they discuss the benefits of growing your own ingredients and flavours to offer guests delicious cocktails.
Serving Up Unique Bar Concepts
Whether fresh or fermented, the quality of ingredients is important in your menu items. This is particularly vital for drinks and dishes that require fresh ingredients like basil, mint, berries, etc. Using fresh ingredients ensures guests savour the authentic flavour of every serve.
Stay Ahead of the Game
For fresh ingredients, you can grow your own or source locally, depending on your use. For example, ingredients like mint are used daily in cocktails and garnishing, so you can grow your own for greater control of freshness.
This Diageo Bar Academy masterclass offers guidance on how to do that, covering everything from sowing and picking to packaging and preservation. Join Mark Moriarty and James Fowler as they share tips for preserving ingredients to retain flavour, growing your own ingredients, managing waste, and building relationships with local suppliers.
You’ll also learn how to experiment with different fresh garden ingredients and flavours to transform your cocktails into signature drinks.
