WK5: Boost Those Basic Blender Drinks!

Session details:

Once considered one of the most important tools in any bar, the blender has been pushed to the back of the supply closet in recent times. But no longer! Join Monin's Michael Moberly, Campari Academy, and bartender Sam Miller as they show us why they love the loud and pulsing power of blended drinks. 
  
In this 90-minute workshop, we'll turn it up to 11 with:

• The Blended Renaissance: Explore the colorful history of frozen cocktails and why today's consumers are demanding them again, from Tiki culture to modern craft interpretations.
• Technique & Execution: Master the fundamentals of proper blending techniques, ice-to-liquid ratios, texture control, and how to achieve consistent results during high-volume service.
• Innovation on Ice: Discover boundary-pushing techniques and unexpected ingredients (yes, even bitter liqueurs like Campari work beautifully when blended correctly) that will make your frozen cocktails the loudest drinks in the room.
• The Bottom Line: Learn how blended drinks can dramatically improve your profit margins.   

Walk away with recipes, techniques, and a financial framework for making frozen drinks a profit center, not just a seasonal novelty.
