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!
