One of the secrets to boosting sales in food and beverage establishments is a good presentation of their products. Visual appeal is used to tempt the consumer. It is not enough for a beverage to be good, as is the case with coffee, sometimes an attractive presentation makes a difference in the customer's experience when consuming it. Is it a game of all our senses? Yes, but it is worth it!
There are coffee-based drinks that are served traditionally, that is, in a porcelain coffee cup. These drinks are usually decorated with drawings on the top. This is known as latte art, especially when the drink has milk in it.
With a bit of creativity and a variety of glassware, we can transform a classic presentation into a more modern one. Take a look at both photos. Both are mochaccino coffee, which one is more attractive? For sure the photo second one. We can observe the different layers formed by the delicious ingredients that make it up. This makes it more appetizing 😋😋😋😋.
Let's see how to make a mochaccino in a long glass. The first thing to know is the ingredients that make up the mochaccino. This is a drink made with chocolate syrup, emulsified milk, cocoa powder, and espresso coffee.
We must emulsify the milk. If you do not have an emulsifying machine, you can beat the warm milk with a hand whisk or in the blender. This way, you will obtain a frothy layer in the milk.
Pour the milk into the long glass. The pitcher should be close to the rim of the glass so that the milk will be at the bottom and the foam will be on the surface. Carefully add the chocolate syrup. This mixture is dense so it will go down easily to the bottom of the glass.
Add espresso coffee, and while it descends, it is delicately mixed with the milk. This step is beautiful. It's like a waterfall of coffee gently painting the milk. I love it!
You can finish the preparation of the mochaccino by sprinkling cocoa powder or using chocolate syrup to decorate.
This presentation shows the three layers that are formed in a mochaccino. At the bottom is the chocolate syrup, in the middle is the milk with the espresso and at the top is the milk cream emulsified with a touch of cocoa. A delicate presentation is achieved by using a long glass instead of a conventional cup.
The next time you visit a coffee shop ask if they have mochaccino in a long glass, if they don't serve it this way, try to venture making it at home, I assure you that you will surprise your friends or loved ones.
