5 Ways to Make That Frozen Cocktail Even More Satisfying
These simple hacks make a more satisfying sipper.
Whether people want to channel a relaxing day at the beach or just thirst for an ice-cold sipper, there is a difference between a great frozen cocktail and a subpar one. With these simple hacks, that beverage is blended perfection.
Some people can be a little wary of a frozen cocktail. While those constantly churning machines at some restaurants are mesmerizing, people thirst for flavor. Given that the cooler temperatures can temper the taste, all the ingredients need to enhance the total experience. No one wants just colorful ice in the glass.
Here are five frozen cocktail hacks to make that drink taste even better.
1. Freeze your fruit to add thickness and chill without watering things down.
Read fruit is always better than a juice or nectar. Not only does the blending fruit add thickness to the drink, it makes the fruitiness pop. Plus, frozen fruit means that there is no need for ice. It helps to not dilute the drink.
2. Pre-chill your spirits so they don’t melt your ice as you blend.
Anyone knows that warmer temperatures will make ice melt. While no one is suggesting that the spirit is super hot, but the change in temps can be problematic. Given that alcohol does not freezer, it can get quite cold and keep the chill.
3. Use a high-powered blender and keep ingredients below the â…” line for the smoothest texture.
The longer a blender works, the more heat that is incorporated into the glass. While everyone wants a smooth texture, quick, efficient blending keeps the drink from separating.
4. Swap granulated sugar for simple syrup for better consistency and easier mixing.
Even though a frozen cocktail does not need to be a spoon full of sugar, a little simple syrup can keep it balanced. Similar to keep other ingredients consistent, a liquid is easier to blend that the granulated sugar. No one wants a gritty drink.
5. Opt for crushed ice - it’s easier on your blender and makes for a silkier finish.
Similar to the other tips, the crushed ice is meant to reduce blending time, which keeps the heat lower. No one wants a frozen beverage that has separated.
