Plant-based drinks & cocktail recipes: FAQ
How do bartenders make vegan cocktails?
Swap egg white for aquafaba (chickpea water) to get foam, use agave or maple instead of honey, and choose liqueurs and wines that are not clarified with animal products.
Is wine or beer always vegan?
No. Some are fined with gelatin, isinglass (fish bladder), egg white or casein. Check the label or the producer’s information.
Which plant milk is best for lattes?
Oat and soy “barista” versions foam best and don’t split in hot coffee.
