"Sous Vide an entire cocktail really changes the dynamic of the cocktail. The flavours of all the ingredients bind together more than a traditional batched cocktail. Sous Vide expands the components in the bitters as well, leaving the consumer with endless layers of flavours throughout the drink. A full Sous Vide cocktail also reduces the bartenders' steps when making a drink which leaves more time to capture more sales.” ~ Phil Wills, The Spirits in Motion
