COCKTAIL CABINET

Flavour expert Zoe Burgess demystifies cocktails, explaining and exploring structures, flavour profiles and techniques. She helps you understand the five basic tastes and other elements, and pulls apart classic recipes to explore why certain ingredients work together. Understanding these elements allows you to build on your personal taste preferences, opening up a vast palette of options - including those of your own creation. The second part of the book puts that knowledge into practice, with more than 80 recipes for drinks organised by cocktail type - champagne-based, stirred, bitter, sour and long.
