pHenomenal 2cl glass dispenser. Glass dispenser with natural cork for syrup – exactly 2 cl with a flick of the wrist, in a gift box.

The 2cl glass dispenser in a box from Hamburg-based pHenomenal Drinks is a glass dispenser with a natural cork that is placed onto the syrup bottle. It allows you to pour exactly 2 cl of syrup, the perfect amount for a tonic water or a ginger lemonade. It comes in a custom-made, sturdy box. No measuring cup, no mess.

The glass dispenser from pHenomenal is a bar tool that measures out a fixed amount of liquid before it flows into the glass. pHenomenal discovered it when the Hamburg team was looking for a clever and uncomplicated way to mix their syrups. This is because pHenomenal's syrups work with a fixed ratio: 2 cl of syrup to 10 cl of sparkling water. Anyone who hits the 2 cl mark exactly every time gets the same drink every time. The dispenser is made for this, and it looks like a piece of laboratory glassware in the process. With a wink, the manufacturer recommends it to all fans of the series Breaking Bad.

Shape and material

The dispenser is made of glass and sits on the bottle with a natural cork. The manufacturer describes it as elegant and practical; its glass bulb holds exactly 2 cl.

The natural cork seals the opened bottle. Therefore, the dispenser can simply remain on the bottle in the refrigerator and replaces the cap. You put it on once and have it immediately at hand for every drink. It is delivered in a custom-made, attractive and sturdy box, in which it is well protected. This also makes it a gift. Those expecting a stainless steel or plastic pourer are consciously getting glass and cork here.

Usage

To dispense, tilt the bottle with your wrist until the glass bulb is filled. Then turn the bottle to a horizontal position, and the 2 cl will flow into the glass.

For a tonic water, first fill 10 cl of sparkling mineral water or soda water into a glass or an Erlenmeyer flask. Then, add exactly 2 cl of syrup using the dispenser and stir carefully. This keeps the carbonation in the drink. For a gin and tonic, according to the pHenomenal recipe, add 4 cl of gin and ice. It works the same way with the Ginger Syrup, for example for a Moscow Mule or a non-alcoholic ginger lemonade.

To clean, hold the dispenser under running water and rinse it out. The manufacturer gives a tip from their own experience: It is better to point the other open end away from you while doing so.

Our tip: Combine the dispenser with the pHenomenal Erlenmeyer flask. You can measure the 10 cl of water in the flask and the 2 cl of syrup with the dispenser.

Origin

The glass dispenser comes from pHenomenal Drinks in Hamburg. The founder and owner is Hendrik Schaulin.

pHenomenal has been producing syrups for tonic and ginger beer by hand since 2012; they are organic-certified and sweetened with agave syrup. Because the syrups are only mixed with water in the glass, the right quantity plays a major role. For mixing, pHenomenal has developed a short, four-step guide. The dispenser is a part of it, along with the Erlenmeyer flask made of laboratory glass. Both tools show how precise pHenomenal is when it comes to mixing: 250 ml of syrup should yield twelve equally good drinks.

For whom

The dispenser is for everyone who wants their syrup-based drinks mixed consistently every time. It fits into any home bar that stocks tonic or ginger syrup.

It is also a gift for hosts and hobby bartenders who enjoy handling tools. You can find the matching syrup with the Organic Tonic Syrup. All syrups, cocktails, and accessories can be found on our pHenomenal Drinks page. It is not suitable as a measuring device for larger quantities; it always holds exactly 2 cl.

Glass, natural cork and exactly 2 cl – the pHenomenal dispenser for tonic and ginger beer with a flick of the wrist.
