Something savoury to celebrate
There is a small corner of my mind that is always flirting with the concept of savoury drinks. It started a few years back when I was working as a barista and doing the occasional competition. I had grown tired of the sweet drinks. Seriously, we are so bombarded with sweet drinks that something a little savoury always sounds like an intriguing break to me. The problem with savoury drinks is that they are tricky. I have tried numerous ideas, and based on trial and error I can tell you this for sure, NEVER EVER EVER make yourself a sparkling iced Americano. Really bad idea. If you think about the number of savoury options that are out there, the caesar and the bloody mary are two of the few drinks that come to mind. Perhaps it is a sign, savoury is just to tricky to make well.
I however am not ready to give up on the idea just yet. Perhaps the answer to the savoury drink conundrum lies in infused syrups. In fact some of my favourite coffee drinks are ones that feature herb infused syrups. So, a few weeks ago when I saw Love and Lemons Lavender French 75 it got me thinking about what other options might just work. I decided to start slowly with this recipe from Martha Stewart. It is lightly sweet, a little tart and has just a hint of celery on the end. If you aren’t to sure about savoury flavours in a cocktail this is the place to start.
