In the industrial town of Rookburgh within Phantasialand, pleasure and craftsmanship intertwine to create a stunning whole. Here, the art of the culinary experience is elevated through a fusion of innovation and creativity. The secret behind it? A close collaboration that's palpable in every restaurant, bar, and corner of this remarkable themed area.
The Creative Workshop of Bar 1919
Particularly noteworthy is Bar 1919, which impresses with its extraordinary cocktail bowls. These are not only renowned for their exquisite ingredients but also for their spectacular presentation. The creation of such culinary masterpieces is the outcome of an intensive and collaborative process.
Anja Berners, Operations Manager of Phantasialand's hotels and one of the creative minds behind the project, emphasizes the uniqueness of the offerings at Bar 1919: "Each cocktail bowl is intended to offer an unforgettable experience that guests can only find here." The innovative cocktail bowl concept was developed by Joelle Löffelhardt, who continues to share her passion for this project years later.
A Visual and Tasteful Delight
At the opening of Bar 1919, a special emphasis was placed on the visual experience. The choice of the round drinking glass was deliberate, not just because of the mesmerizing mist created by a chemical reaction with dry ice, but also due to the opportunity to adorn the glass with creative decorations.
These cocktail bowls impress not just in taste but visually too. The mystical mist, produced when the liquid meets the dry ice, perfectly complements Rookburgh's industrial ambiance and is a true eye-catcher.
The Secret Behind the Creations
But what goes into the making of a new cocktail bowl? Joelle, the brains behind this concept, explains that the process starts with a vision. Based on this idea, the bar team, consisting of the bartenders Roman, Dominik, Machmut, and Kevin, creates different versions of the cocktail. Anja points out that this is definitely a team project where many ideas converge and individual preferences find their place.
Industry trends are also considered. A case in point is the summer bowl "The Steaming Illusion," which originated at a trade fair. There, two colleagues discovered a thyme-rhubarb gin that impressed not only with its unique taste but also with a captivating color-changing effect.
A Story in Every Cocktail
A significant emphasis is also placed on storytelling. With "The Steaming Illusion," the team embraced the story of the Hotel Charles Lindbergh and incorporated it into the cocktail experience. Every detail, from the choice of the glass to the decoration, carries meaning and narrates a part of this tale.
In Conclusion
The cocktail creations from Bar 1919 are more than just beverages; they are experiences shaped by collaboration, creativity, and a passion for craftsmanship. It's this blend that captures the essence of Rookburgh and Phantasialand as a whole, offering guests an unforgettable experience.
