Two Cocktails Served on Draft, One Barrel-Aged
Why Cocktails On Draft?
We started Little Nomad with goal to revolutionize bar catering by solving one of the toughest challenges in the industry—long drink lines at large events. That’s why we've chosen to serve cocktails on draft. Our goal is to deliver exceptional drinks while also reducing wait times, allowing guests to maximize their time on the dance floor and minimize time spent waiting in line.
Most bar catering companies face a tradeoff. They can either serve fresh cocktails and create long lines, or rely on premade mixers that sacrifice quality. We weren’t willing to settle for either. Drawing on our experience working in high-end restaurants and bars around the country, we designed and built our own draft cocktail system inside our vintage mobile trailer.
When fresh ingredients are combined in a cocktail keg and gently pressurized with CO₂, the process acts as a natural preservative—maintaining the brightness and integrity of the drink. Perfecting each recipe requires time, experimentation, and a bit of science, but the result is worth it. A well-executed draft cocktail is vibrant, balanced, and delicious—a technique now embraced by some of the world’s best bars around the world.
Why Barrel-Aged?
Cocktails on draft work beautifully for certain styles of drinks, but not every recipe benefits from this method. Bright, vibrant cocktails truly shine on draft, while more spirit-forward classics—like an Old Fashioned—don’t translate quite as well. That’s where barrel-aging comes in.
Barrel-aging allows us to batch cocktails while also deepening and enhancing their flavor through time spent in the barrel. Similar to draft cocktails, the process requires a bit of finesse. Not every ingredient responds well to aging, but it works especially well with recipes that highlight the spirit. The result is a cocktail with added depth, complexity, and a smooth, well-rounded finish.
By offering two refreshing cocktails on draft paired with a third spirit-forward option, we've discovered the ideal formula to please large groups of party-goers.
