The New Cocktail Trend to Watch in 2025: Draft Cocktails
Draft cocktails are taking over the bar scene, and it’s easy to see why. Thanks to innovative techniques like clarification, infusion, and acid solutions, serving high-quality cocktails has never been quicker or easier. Say goodbye to long waits for your drink: with just a pull of the tap, your cocktail is ready! This trend not only saves time but also reduces waste while delivering a seamless and consistent experience.
A perfect example of this trend?
The collaboration with King Hall in Sherbrooke, where a new cocktail is stealing the show: the Peaches n' Cream by Head Bartender.
The secret lies in the harmony between our Acerum Blanc and our aged rum, matured in barrels that previously held smoked maple syrup. This rum develops rich notes of fruitcake, molasses, and smoked wood, which pair beautifully with the vibrant, fruity profile of the Acerum. To add sweetness and depth, a quick maceration of peaches and sugar produces a syrup that’s both rich and delicate.
To top it all off, the cocktail is clarified with milk infused with graham cookies, evoking the crust of a traditional pie while adding just the right amount of smoothness for a well-balanced drink. Milk clarification, which leaves a small amount of whey in the mix, adds the creamy touch essential to this recipe.
To the purists out there, don’t be intimidated by this modern technique! Speed does not mean compromising on quality. King Hall’s Peaches n' Cream brilliantly demonstrates how the union of innovative methods and carefully selected ingredients can create a truly unique and unforgettable tasting experience. Come try it for yourself!
