Three Ways To Level Up Your Cold Brew
In the latest episode of Cascades & Conversations, we introduce you to the newest member of the Enhanced Beverage Solutions team, Dion Frostad. Dion is a craft cocktail aficionado, and uses his expertise to show us three easy ways to level up your cold brew game.
Tip #1: Garnish, Garnish, Garnish!
Dion shares the importance of garnishing every drink that is served to a customer. Not only does this increase the visual and aromatics of the beverage, it also serves as free marketing! Customers want to take photos of beautiful drinks and share them will their friends. Next thing you know, their friends are coming in requesting the same beverage.
Tip #2: Take Inspiration From Cocktails
Taking inspiration from cocktails is a great way to turn your cold brew into a new specialty drink. Dion suggests brainstorming cocktails you are already familiar with, and simply swapping out the spirit with your cold brew. In the video, Dion makes us a Cold Brew Old Fashion.

1 dash Dashfire Orange Bitters
6 oz Nitro Infused Cold Brew
Orange Peel
Tip #3: Seven Second Latte
The Seven Second Latte is a drink format we created to allow our customers to maximize cold brew's presence on their menu. Rather than committing a whole keg to your nitro infused latte, the drink is built in the glass. Simply add your syrup, fill about 1/3 of the glass with your milk of choice, then top it off with nitro infused cold brew. In this video, Dion shows us how to make a Nitro Infused Oat Mocha.

While cold brew is an obvious first step, we encourage you to use your creativity to nitro-infuse other still beverages as well! You can learn more about nitrogen in other beverages from the link below.
