Producing and dispensing of liquor

Method for producing liquor, where liquor is an alcoholic beverage made by distillation, comprising ethanol and water, characterised by the steps of:

• Obtaining carbonated liquor by adding CO2 to the liquor under pressure;
• cooling the carbonated liquor;
• transferring the carbonated liquor to dispensing means (1, 24).

Device for producing liquor, where liquor is an alcoholic beverage made by distillation, comprising ethanol and water, wherein the device comprises a pressure vessel (19) for containing the liquor, at least one gas container (20), for adding CO2 to the liquor, connectable to said vessel (19), a cooling device (21), for cooling the carbonated liquor, connectable to said vessel (19), and a channel (22) for transferring the carbonated liquor to dispensing means (1, 24).

Use of beer distribution equipment comprising a gas container (20), a pressure vessel (19) connectable to said gas container (20), a cooling device (21) connectable to the pressure vessel (19) and a tap (24) for tapping liquid connectable to the pressure vessel (19) and the cooling device (21), for producing and distributing carbonated liquor, where liquor is an alcoholic beverage made by distillation.

Method for dispensing carbonated liquor, where liquor is an alcoholic beverage made by distillation, comprising ethanol and water, wherein CO2 is added to the liquor under pressure and where the carbonated liquor is being cooled, characterised by the steps of

• transferring the liquor under pressure to a dispensing device (1);
• utilising said pressure for providing a dispensing stroke for a predetermined volume of the liquor.

Device for dispensing carbonated liquor, i.e. an alcoholic beverage made by distillation, comprising ethanol and water, comprising means for adding CO2 to the liquor under pressure and for cooling the carbonated liquor, wherein the device is arranged to receive the liquor, which is transferred under pressure, and for utilising said pressure for providing a dispensing stroke for a predetermined volume.

Device for producing liquor, where liquor is an alcoholic beverage made by distillation, comprising ethanol and water, wherein the device comprises a container (31), a liquor inlet (32) for introducing liquor into the container (31), a gas inlet (36) for introducing gas, for example CO2, into the container (31), said liquor inlet (32) and gas inlet (36) being arranged such that the liquor is mixed with the gas, and an outlet (38) for discharging the mixture.

Use of a carbonated lemonade producing equipment, for example a carburettor, comprising a container (31), an inlet (32) for introducing water into the container (31), a pump (34) for pumping water into the water inlet (32) connected to said inlet (32), a gas inlet (36) for introducing CO2 into the container (31), said water inlet (32) and gas inlet (36) being arranged such that the water is mixed with the gas, and an outlet (38) for discharging the mixture, for producing carbonated liquor.

Closure device (50) for containing a carbonated liquid under pressure in a container, for example a bottle, such that the pressure remains in the container, comprising a closure element (52), an anchoring element (54), for example a wire (54), provided about the closure element and a cover, for example a foil, tightly provided about the closure element, the wire and a portion of the bottleneck, wherein the closure element (54) at least on the surface is of a material which is inert relative to the liquor so that neither taste nor colour is transferred from said material to the liquor.

Use of a closure device for containing a carbonated liquid in a container under pressure such that the pressure remains in the container wherein the liquid is carbonated liquor.
