Coriander Honey Syrup
Coriander honey syrup is a highly complex, savory-sweet flavor profile, balancing rich honey sweetness with warm, aromatic, and herbal notes.
41% Brix
To Make Coriander Honey Syrup:
1 Tbsp (3g) Coriander Seeds
4 oz (120 mL/113.5 g) Honey
4 oz (120 mL/113.5 g) Water
Pinch Salt
Toast Coriander Seeds in a saucepan over medium heat until it becomes fragrant. Add honey and water to the saucepan and stir until the honey is dissolved. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Double strain into a heat proof measuring cup and allow to cool to room temperature before transferring to a syrup bottle. Store in the refrigerator.
-
Granny Smith Apple Juice
Granny Smith apple juice is known for its crisp, vibrantly tart and acidic flavor profile. Unlike milder, sweeter apple varieties, it delivers a sharp, zesty bite followed by a very subtle underlying sweetness. The taste is often compared to sour green apple candy due to the fruit's high concentration of natural malic acid.
-
Carrot Juice
Carrot juice cocktails offer a vibrant, earthy sweetness that pairs beautifully with bright citrus, spice, and botanicals. Ideal for brunch or spring gatherings, these vibrant drinks blend naturally with spirits like gin, mezcal, and vodka, or can be mixed with Prosecco for an elevated twist on the classic mimosa.

Fino Sherry
Country: Spain
ABV: 38 proof/19%
Brand: J.P. Perez & Co

Sea Salt
Salt is a great flavor booster. It can balance sweetness and bitterness, smoothing out a cocktail. It can also enhance citrus flavor and acidity without the need for more acid. It is most commonly used in rimming cocktail glasses, but a sprinkle in the cocktail shaker can really impact a cocktail. Make it into a saline solution to enhance stirred cocktails.
-
Horseradish Powder
Horseradish powder delivers a punchy sharpness and a brisk, sinus-clearing bite. Its flavor profile is intensely hot and pungent, with distinct earthy, mustard-like notes that leave the palate feeling clean and refreshed.
