Getting the balance right
Apple and pear juices are sweet: add a clear acidity and go easy on the syrups. Ginger adds length; cinnamon gives a sense of sweetness without adding any sugar.
Choosing between cinnamon, nutmeg and smoke
Cinnamon works with apple and coffee. Nutmeg pairs with creamy textures. Smoke suits drier versions or cocktails served under a cloche. Stick to one main signature to keep the recipe easy to read.
A short, cohesive menu
A long drink, a martini, a coffee recipe and a mocktail are enough to create a seasonal offer. The same preparations can be used across several drinks, which reduces waste and makes team training easier.
