""People are looking for protein everywhere right now," Tristan Meline, brand president at Buffalo Wild Wings, tells Esquire. "So this was our playful take on bringing that trend into a space you wouldn't normally expect.""
"Ever had a whiskey sour? Hate to break it to you, but its creamy texture comes from frothed egg whites. In fact, most sours have egg whites in them."
"Warrenpeace, a cocktail bar in Tribeca, has been slinging what's dubbed the Balkan Breakfast since winter. The owners of the bar and many of the staff are from Albania, and there they have this distilled grape spirit called Raki, which we wanted to use in the cocktail.""
Protein is becoming a popular ingredient in unexpected places, including cocktails. Buffalo Wild Wings introduced the Espresso Proteini, which contains 10 grams of protein powder. This trend reflects a broader consumer interest in protein-rich options. Bartenders have historically used ingredients like egg whites and milk in cocktails, but now they are experimenting with more bold flavors and ingredients. The Balkan Breakfast cocktail at Warrenpeace showcases the use of traditional spirits in innovative ways, highlighting the evolving cocktail culture.
