With this latest trend, you just have to sit, tap and drink!
Needless to say, cocktails on tap are taking the cocktail game up a notch and here’s all that you need to know about it!
1. Look for cocktails that don’t need to be aerated
Draft cocktails don’t get aerated unlike a shaken or whipped cocktail. So, it would be wise to steer clear from that. You can go for drinks like mules, fizzes and even Collins’ to avoid change in taste of the dram.

2. Move over fruits, packaged fruit juice will work!
What if you really want to have a drink with a fruity hint? But since, you can’t have actual fruits if you’re having cocktails on tap, (because duh! fruits go well with Sangrias and punches) then you can go for packaged fruit juice. I bet they would taste just as amazing!

3. Cocktails on tap give you consistency, saves time and what not!
Let’s say you’re waiting at the bar for your bartender to take your order and when he FINALLY does- he preps, grabs the ice and then mixes the drink. I mean, that is a lot of waiting.
With cocktails on tap, you know you will get the consistency in taste because it has already been pre-batched.
Fun fact: Did you know that, if you just want to taste it before actually ordering it, then you can have a sip without wasting the whole barrel! Just tap, pour out a peg and taste!

4. Add mixers and modifiers
The thing with cocktails served from a tap is that if it doesn’t taste quite right, you can fix it by adding a splash of tonic or ginger beer. Pssst! Did you know? You can also use a mixer to bring down the temperature of the drink, giving you just the dilution and the taste that you were looking for!
Cocktails on tap is a trend that is gradually picking up the pace! With distilleries popping your city, in no time everyone will be ‘gramming about this!
