The Egg Cocktail: A Twist on the Classic Vodka Soda
COQODAQ's The Egg cocktail offers an innovative twist on the classic vodka soda. Curated by Principal Bartender Sondre Kasin, the cocktail stays true to the simplicity and purity of a vodka soda while adding unique elements of flavor and texture.
The team used techniques from gelato making to create a frothy, creamy consistency as the lychee egg melts over time, providing both flavor and texture. The addition of jasmine, St-Germain Elderflower liqueur, and verjus brings in acidity and roundness, while the shiso leaf garnish adds a bright, mint-like aroma.
Sustainable Efforts in the Bartending Industry
The article also highlights the sustainability efforts of various brands in the bartending industry. Since 2003, the CO2 emissions generated by each bottle of Champagne have been cut by 20 percent, while Ilegal Mezcal now uses a family-run company that recycles 10,000 tons of glass each year.
Ilegal Mezcal also uses only fully mature, 100% sustainable espadín agave, and the distillery's waste water is treated and re-used for distillation. The agave fiber waste is even transformed into adobe-style bricks used at the facility.
