Are you looking for a partner to ride the new trend of nitro drinks? Rotarex Solutions offers turnkey solutions to create unique drink experiences. Below, the company answers the question: how does nitro provide a great differentiation opportunity and what does Rotarex Solutions offer?

Nitrogen for a forever memorable drink experience

Your customers will notice the difference, from creation to taste, each time they order a regular drink next to a nitro-infused pick-me-up. The latter gives a certain wow factor that simply isn’t common (yet) in the drinks industry. Nitro drinks make you feel you just had a mind-blowing experience worth talking about.

Creamy foam

Nitrogen helps you create a thick and creamy foam head. The shiny and foamy head is a significant part of what makes nitro drinks so irresistible. Traditional drinks featuring a mousse layer are made with egg whites or milk, which leaves vegans and vegetarians out of the equation. Offering vegan alternatives attracts a more diverse crowd, appeals to varying tastes and provides an inclusive drink option for cocktail or coffee lovers.

Sweeter taste and smooth texture

Like aerating wine, infusing beverages with nitrogen enhances its flavour profile and creates a sweeter, new aroma feeling. The need for added sugar or sweeteners is reduced, as the gas naturally exerts a sweet flavour. Plus, your drinks take on a refreshing velvety smoothness that’s truly distinct, memorable and delectable. Consumers will love the elevated taste and silky texture of their nitro drink.

Unique visual effect

How many times have you visited a bar or restaurant, ordered a drink and felt genuinely impressed when the server sat your drink on the table? Consumers desire those memorable moments, especially when it comes to presentation. Since nitrogen is a gas, it creates a cascade visual effect that draws the eye. Nitro delivers hypnotic, cascading bubbles that add flair to an otherwise standard drink.

Endless possibilities served in a matter of seconds from the tap

Something for every taste

We are only at the beginning of the nitro drink era. Any drink looks fresher, creamier, tastier and sexier with nitrogen. Cold brew coffee has already made its mark. Young generations love it. With zero sugar, nitro coffee has a full-bodied flavour without the acidic bite of traditional iced coffee. Powerful, it gives a double kick compared to standard coffee.

Nitro cocktails are slowly but surely appearing on the market. Nitro beer is also on the menu in some bars and restaurants. But have you ever tried tea, juice, wine or kombucha infused with nitrogen? Nitro infusion machines offer you the possibility to explore new recipes and precisely adjust the level of gas infused into the drink.

Ultimately, all the above leave your business attracting new customers who crave new drink experiences. Purposeful innovation differentiates your business from others.

Quality, speed and consistency

One of the most interesting benefits of nitro beverage systems is how the product is served. Beverages can now come in boxes, kegs or concentrates and they can be drawn directly from the tap like a beer. Bars and cafes alike can benefit from having finished drinks on tap for quick serving time (less than 10 seconds).

This brings us to the second benefit: speed. All it takes to make the drink is a pull of a lever (any garnishes beyond that are optional). Any bartender, barista or server will be able to serve customers in a fraction of the time, speeding up service times and boosting employee productivity as a result.

Such simplicity leads to higher consistency in taste and appearance- the third benefit of nitro infusion. The drink will always have the same flavour from one server to another, and there is no need for a professional cocktail barmaid or barista.

Rotarex Solutions – your partner for innovative beverage technologies

Rotarex Solutions provides systems to the main leading brands in the world of coffee and cocktails. Our patented inline carbonation technology infuses nitrogen in a deep and pure (100% nitrogen) way. This creates a homogenous creamy foam of long-lasting tiny bubbles. The foam texture is almost liquid and you won’t find any large bubbles in the drink’s head.

With Rotarex Solutions technology, you can also add more nitrogen to the beverages than with any other system in the world. Concretely, you can double the quantity of infused nitrogen to create the market’s longest cascade effect that lasts up to one minute and 30 seconds.

Our team of experts can precisely meet any customer specifications: from the foam thickness (mm), through the cascade effect length, to the foam texture and other variables.
