There is nothing like a well crafted cocktail. I love the way the flavors of a smooth cocktail play together in my mouth. How not one flavor overrides another. That is a GOOD cocktail. I’ve now tried several of the recipes from Greg Henry’s Savory Cocktails: Sour Spicy Herbal Umami Smoky Rich Strong I can say, he created some GOOD cocktails. I love my little collection of recipe books, and this book has become one of the additions to my collection that I pick up often.
The pictured cocktail is a Green Tea Gimlet— a delightfully refreshing drink that is perfect for a warm Spring or Summer day. I’m keeping the recipe a secret though and I’ll leave it to those who get the Savory Cocktails book or to one lucky winner! (If you want to try out a recipe from the book, try his Honey Clove Syrup that I used for my Old Irish Cocktail!)
The good people at Ulysses Press have offered up an edition to one very lucky winner!

My favorite is a Lapsong Suchong simple syrup cocktail. It’s a smoked Chinese tea and is absolutely flooring. But you must love smoke. I should probably post about it, eh? Great giveaway!
My absolute favorite cocktail right now is the Flaming Green-Eyed Daiquiri on The Heathman’s new cocktail menu, in Portland. I’m not sure I’d categorize it as Savory, but it is made with flamed thyme, which adds the most delicious savory, herby flavor. Amazing!

This looks delicious! I am loving all the really herby cocktails right now. It’s nice to get away from the sweet, fruity drink once in awhile.
