That is how, a new transparent drink trend has
appeared in the bar industry. Indeed, the more colorless
the structure, the brighter all the flavor notes of the
beverage are revealed, and Rotary evaporator allows us
to make, for example, our coffee drink transparent. How?
Rotary evaporator works according to the principle
of distillation (water boils at a temperature of 100°C, and
if a vacuum is created, it will evaporate at 50°C). In a
vacuum, water boils at 50°C, and if in this state add, for
example, mint, then its aroma will remain pristine - it
will be a full-fledged taste transferred to the water. It is
also used for separating different liquids. In general, a
rotary evaporator helps us remove the “soul” from our
liquid, in other words, a bouquet of flavors.
Not every kitchen or bar can afford a rotary evap-
orator. It costs from 1000-3000€. There are several alco-
hol bars in Moscow, which have the evaporator in their
laboratories. No one is really considered to be a recognized
pioneer in this field, but 7 years ago the guys from The
Clumsies bar in Athens started making non-alcoholic Ne-
groni. This was one of the first bars where a rotary evapo-
rator appeared - a device that allows you to separate alcohol
with minimal loss of aromas or flavors. By the way, The
Clumsies laboratory is still known and many bar geeks from
all over the world go to them for training and study as they
are famous for their spirit for adventures. Photo / Toa Heftiba
