Do you like savory cocktails? I don’t like Bloody Marys (tomato juice) and don’t like martini, but it seems like there should be something, somehow, that doesn’t taste like gazpacho or a cup of straight booze and brine.
I like sweet/salty, like salted chocolate or caramel, like sour/salty in foods so much. Salt on margarita rim I can take or leave, good either way.
Maybe what I am looking for is not a straight up savory cocktail but something with a salt element and not very sweet. Any recommendations?
I just read about using beet juice instead of sweet vermouth in a negroni. OK, wow, I’ll have to try that. I also want to add cynar to my cabinet.
