In this nerdy deep-dive on the craft and science of Super Juice with bartender and cocktail competitor Mike Vander Horn (@cocktail.complex), some of the topics we discuss include:
What Super Juice is and how it has risen to prominence in both cocktail bar and home bar settings.
Different ways of formulating super juice, including recipes and methods drawn from Liquid Intelligence, a bartender named Nickle Morris, and a YouTube mixologist called Kevin Kos.
How to test the flavor of super juice against real citrus, and why this highly-engineered product seems to attract as many skeptics and purists as it does sustainability nerds and flavor geeks.
Where we stand in the sweeping citrus "movements" or "eras" that have influenced cocktail trends over the past several centuries.
And the tools and ingredients you'll need to source if you want to incorporate this versatile new citrus ingredient into your professional or home bar.
Along the way, we tackle a question from the Discord Community about pH measurements, the best way to foil your bartender nemesis, South Jersey's new signature cocktail, and much, much more.
