How liqueurs are made
Two service terms
2 / 2Frappé
- in liqueur service, very cold service over crushed or finely broken ice.
- Do not confuse it with shaking in a shaker.
- Cold reduces some sensations while melting ice progressively dilutes the drink.
Identify the base, dominant flavour and sugar before choosing how to serve it.
