From a flavour bubble ‘gun’ to sub-zero freezing techniques, Global Drinks Intel explores the latest innovations shaping the cocktail scene in the on-premise channel with the bartenders and mixologists who devised them.
For too long, white rum has been seen as a lower-quality spirit that acts as a propellant in serves. Many bartenders and aged rum drinkers dismiss white rum as cheap, synonymous with mass-produced brands, lacking in complexity and age and associated with omnipresent cocktails such as the mojito, cuba libre and piña colada.
Among the plethora of spirits brand owners exhibiting at the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes earlier this month was International Beverage, the spirits division of ThaiBev. Global Drinks Intel editor Olly Wehring met GTR senior sales manager Mathieu Jeannin to learn more about the company’s prospects in the channel.
