Fizz! Pop! Carbonation!
How to Carbonate Your Cocktails
Bartenders (and Carbonation experts) Valentino Girotto and Bart Miedeksza teach you the right ways to carbonate cocktails.
Special guests Bart Miedeksza & Valentino Girotto of Crossroads Cocktail Bar in London and authors of the forthcoming book Bubbles joined us in February 2024 to teach an hour-long technical masterclass all about cocktail carbonation.
How nerdy do we get? Very!
In this “How To Carbonate Cocktails” Class, we cover:
- CO2 Solubility factors – what carbonates well and what doesn’t
- Carbonation ratios and formulas – a breakdown on acidity, ABV, sugar content and more
- Carbonation’s impact on flavor – and how it varies by specific aromatic compound groups
- Common carbonation problems and troubleshooting tips
- Gear suggestions for bringing the technique to life
