Gloria Keg

Your wedding day should be spent celebrating with the people you love, not standing behind a bar mixing drink after drink. That's exactly where wedding batch cocktails shine. Instead of making cocktails one glass at a time, you pre-batch your signature drink, tap the keg, and let guests pour their own. A cocktail keg from Gloria turns your favorite recipe into a self-serve centerpiece, so the drinks flow while you enjoy your big day. The concept is simple and rooted in the reason Gloria exists. As the brand shares on its About Us page, the very first Gloria was created to batch a favorite Whiskey Old Fashioned Sour so a whole group could share it together without measuring every glass. CO2 was connected to carbonate and propel the cocktail, and the idea was born. That same spirit of spending more time with your guests is what makes a cocktail keg such a natural fit for a wedding. Why serve wedding cocktails on tap? Serving your signature drink from a keg keeps every pour consis...

  5 Batch Cocktails That Actually Taste Better the Next Day Most people make cocktails and serve them immediately. But experienced hosts know a little secret: some drinks are genuinely better after sitting overnight. The flavors meld (blend together smoothly), the citrus softens, the spirit (the base alcohol) integrates and what started as a good drink becomes a great one. Here's exactly which drinks reward a little patience, and why they work so well in a Gloria cocktail keg . 1. Negroni The Negroni is the gold standard of batch-and-rest cocktails. Made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth (a sweet, fortified wine used in cocktails), and Campari (a bitter Italian liqueur, a flavored spirit made with herbs and spices), it's a bold, spirit-forward drink that softens beautifully after 12–24 hours in the fridge.  The bitterness rounds out, the botanicals (plant-derived flavors from herbs, roots, and berries) knit together, and the texture becomes noticeably silkier. Batch it t...

  How Many Drinks Does a 7-Liter Cocktail Keg Actually Serve? You're planning a backyard party for 15 people. Someone suggests skipping the bottle lineup and going with a cocktail keg instead. Sounds like a great idea, until you start wondering: Will one keg actually be enough? What if people keep pouring heavy? What if it runs out before the night ends? Nobody wants that moment of silence when the tap runs dry. So before your next gathering, let's settle this with real numbers, real math, and zero guesswork. What Is a 7-Liter Cocktail Keg? A 7-liter (L) cocktail keg is a portable, pressurized (meaning it uses gas pressure to push liquid out of the tap) stainless steel container designed to hold pre-batched cocktails; that is, cocktails mixed in large quantities ahead of time instead of one drink at a time. The Gloria (7L) holds approximately 1.75 gallons of your chosen cocktail, keeps it fresh with CO₂ (carbon dioxide : the gas that maintains pressure and carbonation/fizz i...

What if you could skip all of that and pour a perfectly mixed, silky-smooth espresso martini straight from a tap , for 39 guests , without shaking a single drink? That's not a fantasy. It's exactly what a CO2 (carbon dioxide) pressurised cocktail keg makes possible.
