Definitions

  • This invention relates to frozen slush beverages, and in particular to a liquid flavor concentrate and a method of using the concentrate to form a high quality frozen slush cocktail.
  • Frozen cocktails are well known as mixtures of crushed or shaved ice, spirits, fruit juice, and sugar that is strongly mixed until the crushed ice is reduced to a "snowy” or “slush” consistency.
  • Frozen daiquiris, margaritas and pi ⁇ a coladas in a variety of flavors such as strawberry, peach and citrus varieties have become increasingly popular as bar specialty drinks.
  • the traditional approach to making such frozen drinks begins with ordinary ice. It is then crushed, cracked, shaved or blended to form a slush to which a spirit, flavors and sweeteners are added.
  • the traditional recipe, particularly for home use is to use ice cubes that are pounded into crushed ice, e.g. in a canvas bag using a wooden mallet. The crushed ice is then blended into a slush.
  • a conventional home blender can be used.
  • a dry powder mixer for example, is marketed by Franco's Cocktail Mixes of Pompano Beach, Florida, under the trade designation "Franco's”. It directs the user add the mix and spirits to an ice- filled cocktail shaker. However, the resulting drink is a traditional chilled cocktail, not a blended frozen drink. Heublein, Inc. of Farmington, Connecticut markets a liquid margarita mix under the trade designation "Cuervo” and Bacardi & Co., Ltd.
  • freezer space in a retail store and the total absence of freezers in many stores that sell distilled alcoholic beverages — make such frozen products unattractive for both cost and convenience reasons.
  • the product is sold in a can like frozen concentrated orange juice, and prepared in the same way, in a single large batch. It is not conducive to making single drinks to order, or any serving size other than that of a full blender.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,647,472 to Speech, et al. describes a water, sugar, glycerol, flavoring mixture that is 20 to 40% solids and which freezes in a home freezer to a slush.
  • the water forms ice crystals and the "syrup" of glycerol, sugar and other solids remains liquid.
  • a serving size of this slush is added to a glass and stirred with a spirit or water to form a chilled liquid drink — a cocktail if alcohol is used.
  • the end product alcoholic drink is a liquid, not a frozen cocktail.
  • Heublein, Inc. has sold a complete, "ready to consume” frozen cocktail product.
  • This product is believed to have been sold under the trade designation "Tropic Freezer*" and made according to U.S. Patent No. 4,790,999 to Ashmont, et al. assigned to Heublein, Inc.
  • the Ashmont cocktail product includes flavor and sweetening ingredients, alcohol, and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) , all premixed.
  • the CMC is described in this patent as a "critical" component in - 5 - producing the desired consistency when the product is frozen.
  • the final product has a Brix value of 18" to 25". Once frozen, it can be eaten directly from a container or spooned into a glass for a slush-type drink. ' It is not blended, let alone blended with an added liquid. To drink this product, it must be warmed to a drinkable consistency.
  • Another object is to provide a flavor concentrate that does not separate or hard freeze when frozen in a conventional home refrigerator.
  • Still another object is to provide a method and product with the foregoing advantages which is convenient to store and use and requires no special skill or equipment to make professional quality drinks quickly, quietly, and in any preselected number of drinks.
  • a further object is to provide a product for use in the method which can be made of all natural products, yet stored without preservatives, for extended periods of time to provide a long shelf life.
  • a flavor concentrate used to make a frozen cocktail has a total solid content, including sweeteners and flavor ingredients, that is equivalent in depressing the freeze point of a water solution to a disaccharide aqueous sugar solution with a Brix value in the range of 10 ⁇ to 25°, in the range of 16 ⁇ to 22 ⁇ for most drink types, and preferably in the range of 18" to 21".
  • This Brix value is a sufficiently accurate weight measure of the solid content of the concentrate to its total weight.
  • the desired equivalent Brix value in this range varies with factors such as the type of drinks being made and the volume and the nature of liquid additives, e.g., a distilled alcohol product and water.
  • the solid content is preferably totally carbohydrates.
  • the total solid content should be such that 1) when frozen at temperatures typical of a home freezer (e.g., 0'F + 10*F) , the concentrate is softly, or "quiescently", frozen; and 2) when blended with a liquid according to this invention, will produce a frozen drink that blends readily to produce a drinkable slush of generally small uniformly sized ice particles with excellent organoleptic characteristics.
  • the finished drink preferably "peaks" when poured into a serving glass. Using a conventional one quart home blender operating at high speed, blending typically is completed in 10 to 30 seconds.
  • the "finished” (disaccharide scale) Brix of the resulting frozen cocktail is preferably in the range of 11.0" to 13.5", but can lie within the range 9.0" to 15.0 ⁇ .
  • the process of this invention includes freezing a liquid flavor concentrate with such a solid content to a solidly, but softly, frozen state, and blending a measured portion of the frozen concentrate with a liquid diluent consisting of a distilled spirit, water, or a mixture of a distilled spirit and water.
  • the weight ratio (w/w) of solid frozen concentrate to diluent is in the range of 1:1 to 3:1.
  • the preferred formulation for the diluent is a mixture of water and a distilled spirit (such as 80 proof rum, gin or tequila) in a 2:1 to 4:1 volume ratio (v/v) of water to spirit.
  • the concentrate preferably is formulated from all natural products including natural sugars, sweeteners such as sucrose, dextrose and fructose and natural fruit flavors such as berry, citrus, or peach derived from the juice, fibers, and other naturally occurring nutrients in the selected fruit or fruit blend.
  • the water is preferably refrigerator-chilled bottled water to avoid variations in flavor due to varying mineral contents of tap water and variation in its temperature. Chilling the water before use aids in the blending.
  • Proportions of frozen concentrate, spirits or other liquid to produce the desired flavor and texture in the finished drink vary with the type of drink (e.g. daiquiri, margarita, pina colada) and flavor (e.g. strawberry, peach, banana) and personal taste.
  • Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the method of the present invention for making frozen cocktails without blending ice
  • Fig. 2 is a view in perspective illustrating the blender addition steps of Fig. 1;
  • Figs. 3-5 are graphs of the pressure applied to a cube of softly frozen concentrate by a shear press piston as a function of time/distance for low, medium and high solid contents in the concentrate.
  • Fig. 1 gives an overview of the method of the present invention for making high quality frozen cocktails 10 at home.
  • the present invention supplies a water based concentrate 12 that is a liquid at room temperature, freezes it at typical home freezer temperatures, as represented at block 14, to form a solid concentrate 16 that is softly frozen, and adds the frozen concentrate to a blender cup 18 along with a liquid diluent 20.
  • the mechanical resistance of the frozen concentrate to being blended and the texture or smoothness of the final drink depend strongly on the level of solid content in the concentrate and on the temperature to which it is frozen.
  • the ability of the process to produce a smooth, good-tasting end product drink also depends strongly on the volume ratio of the frozen concentrate to the diluent, and the nature of the ingredient forming the concentrate and the diluent.
  • the type of solids is also a factor. As a general rule, except where taste considerations override, the solids should be carbohydrates.
  • diluent can be exclusively a distilled spirit. However, blendability is usually improved if the liquid volume is increased by adding water.
  • the concentrate 12 in its simplest form is a solution of water 26, a flavor ingredient or ingredients 28, and a sweetener or sweeteners 30.
  • the flavor ingredient 28 is typically a fruit flavor, preferably one provided by a natural fruit juice, a blend of fruit juices, or a combination of fruit juice and crushed natural fruit or fruit pieces.
  • the natural juice and crushed fruit also introduce to the concentrate natural fruit fibre and small amounts of naturally occurring nutrients found in the natural fruit being used. Solids in the concentrate which do not add positively to the flavor of the finished drink are referred to herein as other ingredients 32.
  • the other ingredient 32 includes not only unflavored fibre and naturally occurring non-flavoring protein and fat nutrients, but also natural and artificial solids such as glycerol, p-glycerol, salts, gums and preservatives.
  • Typical flavors are varieties of citrus, varieties of berry, banana, and peach. While a natural fruit juice, with or without crushed fruit or fruit pulp, is preferred, it is possible to use artificial flavors, or combinations of natural and artificial flavors, as is well known in the food industry.
  • Non-fruit flavors or blends using fruit flavors only in part, can also be used. Examples of such flavors are pi ⁇ a colada and ice cream. However, regardless of the flavor, as noted above, it is essential that the concentrate have a total solid content that is softly frozen at freezer temperatures available to, and selected by, the user.
  • the liquid frozen cocktail mix now sold for commercial bar use by the Island Oasis Frozen Cocktail Co. of Walpole, Massachusetts under its registered trademark "Island Oasis” is preferred. It is made and sold in a variety of natural flavors for numerous drink types, e.g. strawberry, banana, ice cream, and peach daiquiri, regular flavor margarita and pi ⁇ a colada.
  • the sweetener 30 is likewise preferably a natural sugar such as sucrose, glucose, or fructose.
  • the flavor ingredient 28, particularly of a naturally sweet fruit, will often itself have a measure of naturally occurring sugar, but for the flavors and frozen drink types now popular it is necessary to add the sweetener 30.
  • the amount of sweetener to be added ultimately depends in part on the taste and texture of the final blended frozen cocktail.
  • the sweetener 30, the flavor ingredient 28, and the other ingredients 32 provide a total solid content in the water-based concentrate that yields the functional characteristics and finished product of the present invention as described herein.
  • the total solid content of the concentrate 12 should produce a depression of the freezing point of the concentrate that is equivalent to the freezing point depression of a solution of a disaccharide sugar (e.g. sucrose) in water having a Brix value in the range of 10* to 25*, and for most drinks a high value in the range of 16.0* to 22.0°, and preferably in the range of 18* to 21°.
  • the solid content value is calculated as a weight ratio of the solid content to that of the solid content in solution, the concentrate.
  • the measured Brix value varies within this range depending on factors that include (i) the nature of the ingredients, 28, 30 and 32 to produce the desired drink, (ii) whether the cocktail 10 contains alcohol or is non-alcoholic, e.g. a "virgin daiquiri", (iii) the temperature of which the concentrate will be frozen. (iv) the nature and volume of the liquid 20 in proportion to the volume of frozen concentrate used, and (v) the nature of the sweetener, e.g. a simple sugar, a complex sugar, an artificial sweetener, (vi) the temperature of the blended ingredients and (vii) the strength of the distilled spirit and the mineral content of the water used as the liquid 20.
  • the sweetener e.g. a simple sugar, a complex sugar, an artificial sweetener
  • Non-alcoholic slush drinks are therefore more difficult to blend and, in general, require a longer blending time and offer less latitude in the range of portions of ingredients and other process parameters than alcoholic frozen cocktails.
  • Other considerations include (i) the characteristics of the concentrate when it is frozen and when it is broken up in the blender, such as whether the ingredients of the concentrate freezes to a soft solid at temperatures normally found in a home freezer, whether the frozen concentrate blend readily into finally divided and evenly dispersed frozen particles when blended, whether the concentrate separates when frozen at home freezer temperatures, (ii) the sweetening power of the particular sweetener, and (iii) the solid content contributed to the concentrate by the sweetener 30.
  • a monosaccharide such as glucose or fructose is sweeter than a disaccharide such as sucrose
  • certain high potency sweeteners such as aspartame, at least when used in low concentrations, are much stronger sweeteners than like amounts of natural sugars.
  • concentrates 12 and methods according to the present invention of using these concentrates All cocktails were prepared using a conventional home blender such as an Imperial brand, two speed, one quart size blender manufactured by Osterizer, Inc. at its "high" operating speed, to produce frozen cocktails of high quality in taste and texture without using ice cubes, pre-crushed or crushed ice, or shaved ice. Ingredients were weighed on an Ohaus brand triple beam scale to the nearest O.lg (2,610g capacity). The concentrates were mixed in a sealable plastic container by shaking until thoroughly mixed. The concentrate was frozen in conventional plastic ice cube trays for 48 hours in a standard 6 cubic foot capacity, chest-type home freezer set to a freezing temperature of -15'F.

  • the water is bottled water chilled in a conventional refrigerator.
  • a practical lower limit on the frozen concentrate-to-diluent ratio is determined by the fact that the slush becomes too watery (too low of a viscosity to blend) even at reduced blending times, when too much liquid is used. On the other hand, reducing the liquid content increases the ice content in the frozen drink, making it “stiffer". (A good slush texture is characterized by the finished drink "peaking" when poured into a glass, but being readily pourable and drinkable with few, if any, large frozen particles.) Practical lower limits on the amount of diluent liquid added to the blender arise when the frozen concentrate will not blend well, e.g.
  • the weight ratio (w/w) of frozen concentrate 16 to liquid diluent 20 is in the range of 1:1 to 3:1, but preferably closer to 1:1 for most drink types.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un concentré de cocktail glacé liquide caractérisé par une teneur en solide, constituée de préférence totalement de glucides, telle que, lorsque ce concentré est mis à geler dans le compartiment à glace d'un réfrigérateur classique, il se solidifie par congélation, la congélation se réalisant en douceur. Grâce à une teneur en solide appropriée, la valeur Brix obtenue, rapportée à une échelle de disacharrides, se situe entre 10° et 25°. La phase solide se compose de préférence 1) d'arômes purs ou artificiels, particulièrement de jus de fruits et de fibres de fuits naturels et 2) d'un édulcorant, soit un sucre naturel, soit un édulcorant à fort potentiel, soit encore l'une de leurs combinaisons. Le procédé consiste à produire un tel concentré, à le congeler en douceur, et à le mélanger mécaniquement, notamment au moyen d'un mixeur ménager classique, avec adjonction d'un diluant liquide dans un rapport pondéral (w/w) entre solide glacé et liquide compris entre 1:1 et 3:1, et de préférence entre 1:1 et 3:1. Pour les cocktails, le diluant est un mélange d'eau et d'alcool distillé à 80 % de l'alcool-preuve américain selon un rapport volumique compris entre 2:1 et 4:1 entre l'eau et l'alcool. La valeur Brix du concentré peut varier de 10° à 25°, mais pour la plupart des types de boissons, elle est comprise entre 16° et 22°, et de préférence entre 18° et 21°. La valeur Brix du cocktail mélangé et terminé se situe dans une plage allant de 9,0° à 15,0°, mais pour la plupart des types de boissons, elle se situe de préférence dans une plage allant de 11,0° à 13,5°.
