Mixology is among the protagonists of the Tempi di Recupero network!

The world of mixology draws heavily from recovery, as each ingredient offers unique aromas, flavors, and textures when raw materials are fully and skillfully utilized. Bartenders del Recupero create cocktails that embody the tradition, history, and values of a territory. They simultaneously promote the idea of circular cocktails, using ingredients fully, and are constantly seeking sustainable products.

Today more than ever, awareness in the work of bartenders is crucial to stand out and captivate enthusiasts. It’s no longer just about technique; highlighting attention to seasonal products and their use is necessary. It’s not just about creating cocktails but doing so sustainably, respecting resources and the environment.

Reviving traditions and historic cocktail recipes, reinterpreting them in a modern and creative way, is crucial. Cocktails should be balanced, and in their classic versions, they should respect codified and traditional recipes. Creativity and the ability to reinvent oneself are essential, as is respect for the history and origin of cocktails that inspire new proposals.

Collaboration with other professionals in the industry, such as chefs, gelato makers, winemakers, and artisans, can lead to surprising results and enrich the experience of all involved parties. The network of industry professionals mutually enriches each other, allowing everyone to grow and improve. We are called to do more, to be aware and creative, to make our work not only appreciated but also sustainable and innovative.
