Propuesta de aplicación de nueve plantas andinas en la coctelería clásica

Abstract

The current intervention project aims the creation of some signature cocktails based on nine Andean plants, which were selected by previous experimentations on our part, such as ataco, lemon verbena, essence of rose, guarmipoleo, mint, verbena, chamomile, rosemary and lemon balm, plus the use of spirits including whisky, rum, brandy, and vodka to achieve a perfect balance of flavor, aroma and texture. In order to promote and innovate the use of Andean plants in the cocktail bar, suitable methods and techniques are selected to benefit from features that each plant and liquor possess, considering the necessary utensils to work in the elaboration and assembly of the cocktails; without omitting the importance of the ingredients and costs of each raw material.
