The Art of Flavor-Pairing in Cocktails!

Рет қаралды 29,807

Күн бұрын

Pairing flavors in cocktails can sometimes be an art - delicate but rewarding! But who knew that when strawberry meets cucumber it makes for a delicious cordial and the most interesting drink I’ve had in a while! But to make this work we’ll need the art of flavor-pairing, so if you want to know how to pair flavors for better cocktails, today’s episode is just for you. To connect the flavors of strawberry and cucumber we’ll use caraway as a bridge, as Zach Sapato did on his Obvious Bridge cocktail. I was introduced to this cocktail at this year’s Bar Convent Berlin, but I’ll also teach you how to make it yourself at home, while learning all about flavor pairings. So pull up a chair and get ready, it’s Cocktail Time!

🌎 Love those sites and they are free! Such a great resource. Looking at some of the ingredients, things like cucumber and beetroot pair well with a lot of things (a near perfect bridge). I'm already thinking of turning a beetroot salad with lemon and pomegranate into a cocktail, I suspect a dry wood flavour from chairman's reserve or a demerara rum would work really well.

Great vid Kevin ❤❤ just wondering why did you chose to throw instead of stirring the cocktail?

@ellyam991 8 ай бұрын

Throwing gives a lighter texture without making it cloudy like it would with shaking. It takes away from that dense feel stirred drinks have

🌍Flavour pairing is such a complex thing. What I wonder is how the professionals found out how to pair flavours to bring out that detailed matrix, I suppose it was made out on the basis of innumerable trials and errors.

@ellyam991 8 ай бұрын

Can't say it's the case for everyone, but many matrices are built by measuring the aromatic chemicals in ingredients and putting them into categories like citrusy, woody, etc etc

@KevinKos 8 ай бұрын

Smelling and tasting everything when cooking, preparing and foraging helps me get a lot of ideas on what to pair with something.

Using Linie as base spirit shows the lack of knowledge when it comes to our Scandinavian spirit. There are several other Aquavit brands and variations that are a much better option to use that are more balanced and honest.
