Overview
How do colours affect the creation of a cocktail and how should they be balanced in a glass? In this book, the “spice master bar-lady” explains the secret colour combinations in contemporary mixology.
Describing a watermelon magenta, a basil green, a lemon yellow, a liquorice black, a strawberry red or a chocolate brown is easy because their names describe the expectations you’ll have when tasting them. However, everyone has their own imagery of a sky blue, therefore the author tries to make it objective by creating a sky-blue cocktail that anyone can recognize.
Here cocktails are conceived between stills, mortars, scales, stoves, ampoules, decorated vases filled with cardamom, nutmeg, ginger and many other elements of unconventional concoctions. In this manual, the author explains how to make a cocktail starting from the colour taken from natural ingredients and food colourings to create a new drink that can stimulate discerning consumers.
99 well-known cocktails are present, which have been reinterpreted by the author, complete with photographs and a technical preparation sheet.
About the author
Terry Monroe (many people call her Terylin) was born in Basilicata and raised in Milan. After studying herbal sciences, at the young age of 22, in 1997, she opened the Opera Café, an establishment which became Opera 33 and is one of the benchmarks of contemporary mixology in Milan. Then “Speziology” was set up, a spice laboratory which has led to consulting services and training programmes. She works as a mixology professor and is an expert aroma technician, collaborating with spirits companies.
