Top bartender tip

"Shaking is crucial for emulsifying vinaigrettes and cocktails, but not suitable for delicate ingredients that can break apart or become overworked"

A quick history lesson

A quick history lesson in Creme De Cacao: Originating from the vibrant world of the 16th-century Caribbean, Creme De Cacao is a sweet, chocolate-flavored liqueur made from cocoa beans. Celebrated in both dark and white varieties, it gained popularity in Europe when Spanish explorers introduced cacao back home. By the 19th century, it had become a staple in cocktail recipes, adding a luxurious, velvety touch to drinks like the Grasshopper and the Brandy Alexander. Today, it remains an essential ingredient for bartenders and mixologists aiming to infuse their creations with rich, chocolatey depth.
