Colourful cocktails can be a great supplement or base of a food truck menu. They look appetising and are tasty. In addition, one glass of smoothie can contain a humongous vitamin dose. Check out our ideas for drinks in food truck.
Vegetable smoothie
Although tasty cocktails are mainly associated with fruits, there is no rule prohibiting creation of an equally tasty vegetable-based drink. Vegetables are free of great amounts of harmful simple sugars, which automatically makes them healthier than fruits. When making such smoothie, always follow the principle to choose ingredients in order to balance flavours, for example sweet and sour.
Cocktail with flower
Cocktails with surprise are the next idea for drinks in a food truck. A flower floating on the cup’s surface will positively surprise your guests. Therefore, using edible forsythias or pansies is a great idea for spring smoothies. Aside from aesthetical values, such drinks can be a real vitamin bomb - one serving of cocktail with forsythia works better than swallowing a vitamin C pill. How can you create such smoothie? Blend juice from 3 oranges, half of a lemon, and half of a banana with handful of yellow flowers and it’s done!
Fruit shots in food truck menu
Fruit shots are an alternative for standard cocktails - basically, it is the same drink, but served in a shot glass and drank in one go. For that reason it perfectly suits the role of a waiting snack or quick snack. Ginger-based shots have been popular for some time now. Ginger not only improves immunity, but also supports the digestive system and simultaneously speeds up slimming. To make such shot, you will need half of tea spoon of ground ginger, a bit of lemon juice, and honey. The shot is crowned with a dash of cayenne pepper that “boosts” its flavour.
Cocktail from exotic fruits
Cocktails based on exotic fruits will be an interesting enrichment of a food truck menu, especially in summer. Their sweet taste, colourful appearance, and mysterious recipe will attract many people. It might seem that importing ingredients necessary to make such drinks will be difficult, but in reality this is not entirely true. Many granaries and popular, easily accessible discount stores has in their offer exotic fruits: maracuja, papaya, acerola, guava, or acai berries.
Food trucks with green cocktails
Instead of adding single cocktails and smoothies to the menu, you can go one step further and create a food truck, which will serve only such drinks. When creating the “menu”, it is worth to let your imagination loose and go wild - all cocktails served in the trailer should be somehow connected, like colour or base ingredient. It is relatively easy to create a place with so-called “green drinks”, that is, green cocktails - usually this shade is received by adding kale or spinach.
Cocktails can be introduced in the menu of almost any food truck, from mobile cafe up to a trailer with oriental cuisine. You just need to adapt drink recipes to other dishes from the offer by using local ingredients or spices.
