Herbivore | Cocktail Party

Herbivore

The cocktail renaissance of the past decade has ushered in a new era of hand-squeezed fruit juices, small-batch syrups, and a myriad of other tools to elevate and enhance sweet cocktails. But it’s only recently that savory cocktails have started to get their moment in the sun, and fantastic drinks like the Herbivore prove that it’s about time.

Juliet Ceballos from City House Nashville in Tennessee is the brilliant inventor of this appetizing drink. Basing it on genever is a stroke of genius; its rich, malty flavors combine beautifully with the notes of artichoke, herbs and celery. An aged oude-style genever would be best, but jonge-style will still make for a tasty sipper.

Ceballos calls for Cardamaro, a lighter, easy-drinking alternative to Cynar. It’s still delicious with Cynar, but we’d definitely avoid Cynar 70 here – the higher-proof version would overwhelm the delicate harmony of flavors in the Herbivore.

Great drinks-great app

Great cocktail app. Very good list of drinks that actually are well made and tasty. I have used other apps that just were overloaded with tons of junk drinks. It feels like the creators of this app actually enjoyed making the drinks and decided which were good enough to add to the list. Really appreciate the perpetual updates drinks listing too. Hate paying for things more than once.
