COCKTAILS ON TAP
BUILDING YOUR SYSTEM
A long draw system is required if your kegs are stored in a walk-in cooler away from your
faucets. In a long draw system, glycol-cooled lines are required to ensure the cocktail’s
temperature is properly maintained from keg to faucet.
A direct draw system is the right solution if you have room for refrigerated kegs directly
underneath your tower. This eliminates the need for insulated lines or specialized
cooling solutions.

BEST PRACTICES
Make your preferred pre-batch cocktail recipe. Now that you have your cocktail keg
ready to pour, you’ll need a gas regulator and tank of CO2 or nitrogen. Depending on the
ingredients of your cocktail, you will need to pressurize the keg with the proper choice
of gas.
Before a kegged cocktail is set up for a busy night, turn on our proprietary Mixer Base with
SpinStick™ to start stirring your cocktail for that perfect mix!
TEMPERATURE
• D
ispense still cocktails at your preferred serving temperature. If dispensing carbonated
products, serve at 38 F to keep CO2 in proper suspension.
GAS
• Still cocktails - use 100% food-grade nitrogen.
• Carbonated cocktails - use CO2, or a blend of CO2 and nitrogen for long draw systems.
• Required dispense pressure will be dependent upon the type of product served, and whether
it is a long draw or direct draw setup.
