Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Alcoholic beverage with immersed pigmented mica particles
[0001] The present invention relates to an alcoholic beverage in which pigmented mica particles are immersed.
[0002] For the purposes of the present invention, "alcoholic beverage" means a beverage containing ethyl alcohol obtained by alcoholic fermentation of the sugars contained in fruits, vegetables, cereals, plants, grains, herbs or roots which produce this alcohol.
[0003] According to Regulation (EC) No 10 / 2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and protection of spirit drinks, the alcoholic strength by volume of an alcoholic beverage is defined as the ratio of the volume of pure alcohol present in the beverage. The alcohol content in our range is 29, 32 and 33% ABV to the total volume of the beverage at that same temperature. This ratio can be expressed as a percentage.
[0004] In the context of the present invention, "pigmented mica particles" means colored food glitter.
[0005] During the development of our beverage range, we sought to incorporate edible glitter, an ingredient known for its festive and original appeal, into alcoholic drinks. This incorporation does not alter the taste or consistency of our beverage in any way; it remains imperceptible in the mouth and does not detract from the consumer experience. The glitter does not impart any aromas or flavors. Its impact and effect are purely visual.
[0006] These requirements regarding the preservation of the taste and soothing properties of our drinks led us to test the products blind with several tasters to ensure that they did not alter the taste or the perception in the mouth.
[0007] Edible glitter is already well-known in the culinary field for the preparation of cocktails, pastries or other items.
[0008] Edible glitter can be used in the preparation of an alcoholic beverage.
[0009] The direct suspension of pigmented food glitter in an alcoholic beverage such as rum potentially leads to a discoloration of the colored structure of the glitter which will tint the rum.
[0010] The captivating and original visual aspect of our drink is made possible by the edible glitter, which gives us a unique and strong visual identity.
[0011] Edible glitter creates a visual movement in the rum when motion is applied. This allows the glitter to appear to levitate in the rum, creating a captivating and magical visual effect.
[0012] This psychedelic effect only lasts as long as the glitter is in motion and fades quite quickly.
[0013] The glitter stabilizes in the bottle after a few seconds and begins to fall to the bottom of the bottle by gravity.
[0014] The food flake contained in our alcoholic beverages can be stored at room temperature, in the refrigerator and in the freezer.
[0015] We offer our customers the possibility of personalizing their drinks according to their wishes with our food glitter in order to choose between different visual textures and different colors.
[0016] The flaking of our alcoholic beverages is done by a process of inserting the powder inside the bottle by manual or industrial means, before or after bottling of said beverage.
