Layers: An Exploration of Texture in Signature Drinks

March 09, 2026
Connections Lounge

Textures, layers, and inclusions are currently leading the charge in signature drink innovation. From silky cold foams and decadent cream tops to vibrant fruit purées and playful, crunchy inclusions, texture is redefining how specialty beverages look, feel, and taste on a global scale. This 1.5-hour hands-on workshop is designed for baristas and beverage program managers looking to elevate their menu with multi-sensory experiences. 

Attendees will leave this session with a practical "texture toolkit," including foundational recipes and the creative confidence to design signature beverages that stand out in a competitive market. Join us to explore where the texture movement stands today and gain the practical skills needed to build the next generation of signature drinks.

Note: This session takes place on the show floor before hall opening. Please wait by the "Meet Here for Education" sign near registration to be escorted past security.

*This workshop has an additional registration fee. Please add it to your badge prior to the event (and receive early bird pricing) or stop by the registration counters onsite.
