Mixology is not simply the ability to prepare a cocktail, but much more: mixology is a real art, selecting alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, including wine, to mix together in order to create the perfectly balanced and delicious cocktail.
The goal?
Let those who taste it live a unique sensory experience in an all-encompassing journey that involves all the senses.
Mixology has very ancient roots: just think of the Romans who loved to dilute wine with water and mix it with honey, spices and herbs.
However, current mixology was born in the nineteenth century, when, in New York, barman Jerry Thomas – known as the Professor – began to mix different types of liqueurs, creating original proposals that were collected in the recipe book “How To Mix Drinks” and which became famous cocktails popular all over the world.
But it is only in recent decades that mixing techniques have been refined and the knowledge of barmen has become increasingly sophisticated up to nowadays when the mixologist has become a new profession, different from the barman and the bartender.
In mixology, everything is based on a delicate balance between alcoholic and non-alcoholic ingredients, which must be chosen with great care and attention.
Nothing is left to chance. Not to mention that, to make a perfect cocktail, it is also important to study the techniques and products because every drink also tells a story.
Today’s modern alchemists are called mixologists precisely because of their ability to combine the basic notions of mixing with new cutting-edge techniques and with great creativity and experimentation.
The mixologist is a real drink artist who combines his knowledge of preparing the pillars of mixing with the study of distillates and spirits and aims at creating innovative cocktails in step with market trends and the tastes of a public that is increasingly demanding and curious about new flavors, combinations and experiences.
The final result is a harmony and balance of flavors, the right mix of sweet and bitter, sour or sugary… Finding the perfect combination is a real art and the ingredients make each drink unique and different.
The place where you can taste the results of this art is equally important and, that’s why, our Gold Bar is just the right choice.
