When it comes to running a bar, there are many things to factor in; especially if you want to be serving high quality drinks in your cocktail menu that your customers will keep coming back for. As bars are getting busier across the industry, we’re seeing there’s an increased demand for delicious drinks that can be made both quickly and consistently.
With Icely Done’s cocktail blends, you’re able to provide a diverse range of tasty and unique cocktails made from fresh and fruity ingredients – and still retain the theatre of traditional cocktail preperation. From my experience of a cocktail drinker, rather than a cocktail maker – I’m willing to spend a little bit more money on a drink that genuinely tastes really good, rather than guzzling down cheaper, stronger drinks that only do the job of getting you drunk quick.
Whilst bar operators often put their signature twist on a drink, or come up with their own creations (something we really do champion), we want to be able to provide bars with a dynamic menu that can handle a fast turnover of staff without compromising the cocktail bar experience, as well as tasting really bloody good.
Lefti and the Icely Done team have put together a Flash Cocktail menu – using our blends for inspiration. This is a versatile sample menu that will definitely to go down an absolute treat in any busy cocktail bar.
