Welcome to the vibrant world of mixology—where art meets science, and every cocktail tells a story.
At MAIIHM, we go beyond traditional bar training. We explore how cocktails are evolving globally, blending creativity with craft. Whether you dream of becoming a professional bartender, a beverage consultant, or starting your own lounge—this blog introduces you to the top mixology trends redefining the beverage industry in 2025.
Zero-Proof Cocktails (Mocktails with a Twist)
With health-conscious consumers rising, zero-alcohol cocktails are making headlines. These are not your regular sugary mocktails—today’s “No & Low” cocktails use botanicals, fermented bases, shrubs, and craft syrups for bold, complex flavors.
🧪 At MAIIHM, we teach how to:
- Create botanical infusions
- Use non-alcoholic spirits
- Balance flavors without booze
- Plate and garnish like a pro
Sustainability in the Glass
Eco-conscious mixology is trending. Bars are reducing waste, using leftover citrus peels, upcycled garnishes, and even growing their own herbs.
♻️ What’s in:
- Reusable glassware & metal straws
- Herb-forward cocktails (rosemary, thyme, mint)
- Dehydrated fruit garnishes
- Repurposed ingredients like aquafaba or coffee grounds
“Sustainability is not a concept—it’s the future of beverage service,” says MAIIHM’s F&B faculty.
Regional & Desi Infusions
Indian mixologists are turning to local ingredients to create cocktails with regional flair. Think kokum margaritas, tamarind whiskey sours, or curry-leaf gin fizz.
🧡 MAIIHM students are encouraged to:
- Experiment with spices, herbs, and fruits
- Understand flavor pairing with Indian cuisine
- Present cocktails with storytelling and culture
Molecular Mixology
Blending science and spectacle, molecular mixology uses techniques like foams, smoke, gels, and spherification to turn cocktails into sensory experiences.
⚗️ Techniques taught:
- Liquid nitrogen effects
- Smoked old fashioneds
- Edible cocktails & shots
- Color-changing beverages
