Keg Cocktails — Sours on Tap
The First Sour on Tap in Australia
Same shake. Same foam. Same quality. Poured in 10 seconds.
The moment they taste it
Your guest asks for an Amaretto Sour on Friday at 9pm. The bar's three deep.
Instead of disappearing to pour, measure, ice, shake, strain, and garnish — your bartender pulls the tap and pours it in 10 seconds flat.
The thick foam rises. The guest takes a sip. Their eyes go wide. They look at the bartender. They look at the drink. They look back at the bartender.
You're not saving labour. You're upgrading the guest experience. It's a magic trick and a speed play wrapped into one.
Shaken-quality sours poured like a beer
Cocktail Foamer in a keg system holds a stable foam head under nitrogen pressure. Same texture, same mouthfeel, same quality as a shaken cocktail — poured from a tap.
110 Seconds Faster
Two-minute shake vs. 10-second pour. No ice, no tin, no strainer.
Perfect Every Time
Every pour is identical. Zero variation between bartenders or busy vs quiet shifts.
Less Foamer Per Serve
40% less Cocktail Foamer per cocktail in a keg vs. shaking. Lower cost, same foam.
More Throughput
Your bartender can pour while taking the next order. Capacity goes up. Wait times go down.
Every 50 sours = $60 more profit
Here's the full breakdown. We've been conservative on every number.
What We're Calculating With
| What you gain | Per 50 cocktails | Per keg (124) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labour saved | $51.50 | $129.00 | ||
| Foamer saved (40% less) | $8.00 | $20.00 | ||
| Total saved | $59.50 | $149.00 | ||
A keg pays for itself within 2-3 weeks
After that, it's pure margin improvement. $149 saved per keg. Pour a sour in 10 seconds. No egg whites, no aquafaba, no compromise.
Three things. That's it.
If you've got Guinness lines, you're 90% there. Corny kegs and creamer nozzles are off-the-shelf at any brew shop.
CO₂ carbonates and ruins the cocktail. Nitrogen preserves the flavour and creates a denser foam. Same regulator, different cylinder. Any gas supplier has it.
The perforated disc inside a Guinness nozzle agitates the liquid as it passes through, creating that dense foamy head — the same way it works for stout.
20L Keg — Amaretto Sour Batch
Open the corny keg, pour in, seal, charge with nitrogen. Done.
| Ingredient | 20L Keg | 50L Keg | Per Serve |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spirit / Liquor | 7.4L | 18.5L | 60ml |
| Fresh Lemon Juice | 3.7L | 9.25L | 30ml |
| Sugar Syrup | 1.9L | 4.75L | 15ml |
| Dilution Water | 5.5L | 13.75L | 44ml |
| Cocktail Foamer (3 pouches) | 1.5L | 3.75L | 12ml |
20L keg = 124 cocktails. 50L keg = 309 cocktails.
To extend shelf life, swap fresh lemon juice for a citric acid blend. See Hot Tip below.
Swap fresh lemon for citric acid to extend shelf life to 2+ weeks. Recipe: 64g citric acid per 1L water = lemon juice equivalent. Keeps your keg stable longer without affecting taste. Shop citric acid →
