Do You Recommend The Jars, Shakers Or Spray Bottle For A Bar Application?
When using Brew Glitter® in a busy bar setting, we know that time matters. No bartender wants to open a jar and spoon glitter into every glass during a rush. For bars, clubs, restaurants and event teams, our spray pumps and shakers are the most popular options. They make it easier to add drink shimmer powder quickly while keeping the application neat, controlled and consistent.
These formats are ideal for adding glitter to drinks across a full cocktail menu. They help bartenders create the same sparkle level in every beer, cocktail, mocktail or signature drink served. Since a little glitter goes a long way, it is also important to train bar staff on how much Brew Glitter® to use for each drink style.
If you are creating cocktails with Brew Glitter® for your menu, we recommend testing the shimmer level in advance. This helps your team serve a consistent drink every time.
