Gas Nβ
Cold brew depth, tequila structure, and a silky texture that holds in a keg. The foam comes from the shaking action at the tap β guests get a proper espresso martini experience without the wait.
Batch Method
- Add all spirits and concentrates to a clean 5-gallon Cornelius keg β including 3 Γ 32 oz Java City Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate (or 4 Γ 32 oz for a stronger coffee profile).
- Add remaining ingredients and top with cold filtered water to 5-gallon volume (8 qts with 3 bottles of cold brew, 7 qts with 4).
- Seal the keg and shake vigorously side to side for 2 full minutes.
- Pressurize with Nβ (nitrogen). See panel below.
- Refrigerate minimum 12 hours before first service.
- Serve ~6 oz over ice in appropriate glassware. Garnish as desired.
- Reshake twice daily to re-integrate settled ingredients.
Pro move: Use cold brew concentrate β never hot-brewed espresso. Hot coffee changes temperature balance and loses the silky texture that makes this drink work at scale.
πΊ Nβ Pressurization β Non-Carbonated Cocktail
- Seal the keg and shake vigorously side to side for 2 full minutes.
- Connect gray/silver Cornelius "gas in" connector to GAS IN plug on keg lid.
- Set Nβ regulator to 12β15 psi.
- Pull up pressure release ring 3 times quickly to cycle gas through keg.
- Test flow. Reduce to 10β12 psi if pouring too fast.
- Reshake twice daily before service to re-integrate all ingredients.
