H2O Cocktails
The concept behind low-calorie cocktails may easy to buy into but sometimes enjoying the flavor of diet mixers and artificial sweeteners can be a little tougher to swallow. That’s why we want to introduce you to a fun concept in making cocktails that packs in clean, all-natural taste with an endless array of flavor opportunities. H2O cocktails pioneered by Kathy Casey of the Liquid Kitchen are the perfect solution to flavor you favorite spirits without adding any additional calories. The idea behind it is pretty simple and easy for anyone to accomplish whatever your mixology IQ is. This technique allows you to capture just the natural flavors without adding the sugars or carbohydrates normally found in fruits and vegetables. Give it a try by taking your favorite fruits, spices, & herbs and let them infuse their flavors into drinking water overnight or try an even faster infusion by using a nitrous charged whip cream canister. You will then strain the mixture through a filter leaving just the flavored water infusion. Create a delicious, light and refreshing cocktail by adding the H2O infusion to any of your favorite spirits. You can learn more about this creative cocktail making technique at here.
