How to perfect your morning and afternoon serves...
We all understand the importance of mixing up the perfect cocktail or mocktail serve to capture the evening drinks crowd. However, it's important not to underestimate the opportunity that comes with a well-rounded offering. This means providing elevated serves suited to all times of the day, and Mix with Carlsberg Britvic is here to help you master round-the-clock excellence.
Coffees, milkshakes, smoothies and lassis are the perfect additions to your morning and afternoon menu, to ensure you're meeting the demand from the breakfast and brunch crowd. But, simply having the standard options on the menu isn't enough anymore, consumers want something above and beyond what they could create at home. This is why it's key to be equipped with the right knowledge and recipes to upgrade serves and provide an unforgettable experience.
So, as most people tend to do in the morning, let's start with a coffee shall we?
Did you know that there is over nine different ways to offer a coffee to your customers? From a latte to a cold brew and more, having an extensive menu with elevated offerings is a great way to encourage your consumers to trade up and treat themselves to a more premium option. What's more, you can drive this further with the endless variations of serves within each of these categories - from a spiced honey mocha to a cherry cappuccino, the list goes on...
The same goes for smoothies. With countless combinations of ingredients available, the opportunities are endless for exciting your morning and early afternoon customers. Maintaining a varied and exciting smoothie offering will also allow you to broaden your target market, appealing to those seeking healthier, fresh or simply delicious options including banana chocolate praline, frutti, orange sun and more...
Finally, we have milkshakes. A popular option for those opting for a lunch or early dinner, milkshakes are the perfect way to elevate your menu from standard serves to a deliciously bold recipe, such as a Yuzu, created using Teisseire Yuzu, Teisseire Vanilla, Plenish Coconut M*lk and coconut sorbet.
Luckily for you, the Mix with Carlsberg Britvic platform is equipped to teach you about all of these recipes, and help you elevate these to the next level. From the ingredients and glassware needed, to preparation method and tips of garnishing alongside food pairings, allergens and even our recommended prices.
What's more, if you're unsure of what's best to serve during these earlier hours, you can use our interactive clock to select a chosen time of the day and be met with the perfect serve.
So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the recipe section of the Mix with Carlsberg Britvic platform and start upgrading your offering now!
