Filmtastic Cocktails!

Who does not remember Tom Cruise preparing daiquiris in the film Cocktail? Or the famous James Bond’s Vesper: vodka martini shaken not stirred? Or the recurring Cosmopolitan in Sex and the City?

Cocktails are the undisputed drink at any elegant and glamorous party. Depending on which one you choose, you will transmit shyness, temperament, self-confidence, sweetness, toughness, femininity… There are never-ending connections that may define your personality.

There are as many types of cocktails as we want and they all have something in common: ice. This essential and indispensable ingredient you need in order to have your cocktail just right. Not much importance has been given to it, but can you imagine this drink with no ice? Can you imagine a hot cocktail?  Obviously not!

The main role of ice is to cool and prevent that the combination of ingredients increases the drink’s temperature. Cold is very important because it helps to reduce the perception of alcohol flavour. It also allows harmonizing the various ingredients. But this is not its only role. A good ice quality also helps to enhance flavour.

Ice can make the difference between a good cocktail and a mediocre one. It is one of the elements that most influences both the flavour and the final presentation in order to have a Filmtastic cocktail!
