New Recipes from The Bartender’s Guild at FIU

Rebecca ConnorsDecember 20, 2023

We’re huge fans of the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management at Florida International University, and we’re so lucky that they’re fans of Ripples! 

The Bartender’s Guild is a student-run organization that shares a passion, curiosity, and camaraderie for the art and concepts of mixology, craft cocktails, and fine spirits. Student leaders from this fantastic group developed three festive NEW cocktails for us all to enjoy.

With flavors ranging from lemon peppermint to watermelon basil, the secret behind all three foam-topped drinks is Ms Better’s Bitters MIraculous foamer. This 100% natural vegan formulation contains the equivalent of 100+ egg whites and just a few drops creates a creamy top for any cocktail creation.

We love these drinks, the great holiday names paired with perfect winter prints, and of course the chance to work with these students who are already transforming the hospitality industry.
