An Ignite Mixology Collaboration

What happens when two top-notch bartenders and a legend named Jack get behind the bar at Ignite Creative Services? A lot of amazing cocktails. Ignite recently hosted Jack Daniel’s Brand Ambassador, Eric Tecosky, for a mixology collaboration with our lead mixologist, Tony Tuttle. Eric and Tony spent three days crafting a plethora of imaginative cocktails that feature the Jack Daniel’s family of brands.

At ICS, we like to play as hard as we work. Sometimes we capture it for all to see.

🐝🍇 Unveiling the Wasp's Secret! 🍷✨

Hold onto your hats, folks, because we're about to dive into the wild world of wasps, grapes, and the magical dance of fermentation! 🎩🌟 Who knew these buzzing critters could be the unsung heroes of your favorite wine, beer, and bread? 🍺🥖

Sure, some might see wasps as hypodermic needles with wings and a bit of 'tude, but in the grand scheme of things, they're the ultimate vineyard VIPs! 🐝💫 Picture this: as summer rolls in, grapes become the ultimate feast for these tiny gastronomes. They chow down on the sweet, juicy fruits and carry them back to their nests, where magic truly happens! 🍇✨

Enter Saccharomyces cerevisiae – the superstar yeast that transforms grapes into liquid gold. These little bugs unwittingly become carriers of this precious yeast, passing it down to their young ones like the ultimate gift of flavor! 🎁🌿

So, when winter's chill sets in, and all seems lost, fear not! The legacy of S. cerevisiae lives on, thanks to our buzzing buddies. 🐝❄️ They've ensured that the cycle of fermentation continues, bringing joy to tastebuds all around the world! 🌍✨ #WaspWonder #FermentationFiesta

🌸🥂 Get ready to ride the wave of beverage trends with Ignite! According to Monin's 2024 Flavor Trends report, pop culture and social media are influencing what we drink more than ever before. Did you know that 72% of consumers are eager to try new flavors they discover online, just to "see what the hype is about"? And it's not just millennials – nearly 80% of Gen Zers are willing to sample menu items simply because they saw them on social media. From cocktails as pink as Barbie to entire bars themed after summer camps, the influence of microtrends, current events, and limited-time offers is undeniable. In fact, 67% of consumers are craving more fads and short-term trends at their favorite restaurants and retail spots (Datassential).

So, how can you tap into this trend-savvy audience? Craft expressive and tailored menus that create those "you had to be there" moments worth sharing on social media! And guess what's trending now? New florals, bright colors, and creative mashups. 🍹✨ Get ready to elevate your beverage game with Ignite's Bubbles and Flowers cocktail recipe – it's the perfect blend of trendsetting flavors and Instagram-worthy aesthetics!

1 oz Smirnoff Vodka
.5 oz Lemon Juice, Fresh Pressed
.5 oz Monin Hibiscus Syrup
3 oz Prosecco

Add Vodka, Lemon Juice and Syrup to a Cocktail Shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled Champagne Flute. Top with Prosecco. Garnish with a Candied Hibiscus Flower.
