glassware
Dont underestimate the power of glass shape to help set the cocktail hour mood.
Pick a delicate
glass like a martini
glass or Champagne
saucer for a classic
or retro vibe. You
can give it a salty or
sweet rim, too, to
enhance look, aroma
and taste.
A tumbler allows
you to add ice and
a wedge of citrus.
(Think bourbonbased drinks.)
A taller glass
means you can pack
in more ice, top up
with soft drinks and
juices, plus add a
long straw. Pull
back on sugar or add
more citrus if using a
sweet mixer like cola
or ginger beer.
A wine glass or
Champagne flute
can be used for
cocktails theyre
ideal for a dressedup drink when you
dont have martini
glasses on hand.
A glass cocktail
jug is a quick
solution for a crowd.
Place glasses on a
tray next to it, add
a bowl of nuts and
cocktail napkins, and
turn up the music to
set the scene.

bespoke ice
Given visuals can make or break
a cocktail, some bartenders are
ordering in clear, dense blocks of
craft ice. One large ice ball in the
bottom of a glass has the bonus of
melting more slowly than regular
ice cubes. Dan Murphy's Bar Station
range features ice sphere trays.
Shop the range at
danmurphys.com.au/barstation
going seasonal
Just like chefs,
bartenders have figured
out strawberries taste
best in summer and
grapefruits taste best
in winter, so theyre
making cocktails that
reflect whats on sale at
the local market.
12
infused flavor
Instead of relying on sugar
to build a cocktail, bartenders
are infusing spirits and mixers
with fruits, herbs and spices like
saffron, smoked rosemary, lemon
verbena, cardamom, coriander,
dried orange peel, balsamic and
bay leaf. Foams fluffed with
nitrogen in a siphon are also
topping cocktails, naturally
flavoured with green apple, pink
grapefruit and Campari, orange
bitters, salted lime or mint.
TREND REPORT

fat washing
This involves adding a liquid fat made from
flavoured nuts, butter or even bacon to a spirit,
chilling it and then skimming off the solidified fat
so the spirit retains the fats flavor (without most
of the fats kilojoules). In some bar circles, fat
washing of nuts, in particular pistachio, cocoa,
sesame, coconut, almond, macadamia is giving
a subtle lift to cocktails.
fresh pressed
A big trend in the last
couple of years is using
fresh pressed apple juice as
a basic mixer. Its got
a natural acidity that makes
cocktails more balanced
than mixers such as cola
or lemonade. Bars are
also increasingly using
fresh-pressed fruit and
vegetable juices, such as
pomegranate, blood orange,
fennel, carrot or ginger to
give a kick to simple drinks.
Also, chargrilling fruits to
intensify flavours is
on the up (pineapple for
pina coladas, lime for
tequila-based drinks).
whisky business
The world has gone nuts for quality
whisky in the past couple of years,
and Australia is no exception.
Expect more whisky cocktails at
every bar.
were in asia
Greater access to spirits
and other ingredients from
Asia has opened up a new
world of flavour. Sake,
shochu, fresh, candied or
syrup ginger, star anise,
wasabi, mirin, Thai basil,
green tea, yuzu juice,
lemongrass and Asian fruits
such as lychee, guava and
nashi pear are emerging in
cocktails. Savoury drinks
infused with bonito flakes,
Sichuan peppercorns,
pickled daikon or finger
lime are also on the rise.
quality
control
We are drinking less,
but drinking better, with
low-alcohol cocktails
and quality spirits
both trending.

tea time
Iced tea cocktails including Earl Grey with gin,
smoky Lapsang Souchong with bourbon, Rooibos
with peach juice, mint and vodka, ginger-lemon green
tea with ginger and cognac, hibiscus tea with whisky,
honey and pink grapefruit juice was a trend that
began about five years ago and is still being seen. Bars
across the globe are serving icy cocktails in fine china
teapots a thoroughly modern take on afternoon tea.
Similar to bitters, tea adds palate-weight to
a cocktail and reigns in
the sweetness.

getting real
Bars got a little serious for
a couple of years, but
thankfully
theyve realised
that a lot of people
actually DO love frothy, creamy creations
like Pina Coladas. For another delicious
frothy cocktail, add a small scoop of your
favourite fruit gelato (berry, passionfruit
or lemon all work particularly well) to
a chilled, stemmed glass and top with
sparkling wine or Champagne. (If you have
a sweet palate, try an icy prosecco on the
sweet side for this recipe.) Sip it or eat it
with a teaspoon.
TREND REPORT
12
bitter is better
Not everyone has a sweet tooth, so
bartenders are incorporating more bitter
elements like Italian amaros (such as
Campari, Aperol, Averna, Cynar and
Ramazzotti) into cocktails. A micro-dash
of flavoured bitters like strawberry and
rhubarb, grapefruit, lavender, sour cherry,
coffee and pecan or peach and basil are
also adding depth to cocktails. Think
of bitters as a warm, spicy and tangy
seasoning... they can transform a regular
drink into a cocktail with a bit of mystery!
Even a shake or two of Angostura Bitters
added to a gin and tonic will give a faint
herbal tang and a subtle pink hue to your
glass. And because bitters have a spice
element, they kickstart the appetite and
make the perfect pre-meal tipple.
13
getting crafty
The craft spirits movement in Australia has taken
off, so look out for more Australian-made products,
from gin to whisky to liqueurs.
14
sherrys back
This Spanish barrel-aged white
grape fortified wine usually
seen as old fashioned has made
a comeback in craft cocktail bars,
lending complexity to drinks.
Try dry Manzanilla with gin and
elderflower liqueur, or raisinlike Pedro Ximnez with apple
brandy, bourbon and bitters.
15
power of three
Sometimes less is more,
which is why threeingredient retro cocktails,
such as the Manhattan,
Americano (pictured),
Negroni, Boulevardier and
Old Fashioned, are another
lingering trend.
