Turmericana Cocktail
The turmericana cocktail is a golden-hued, spice-forward drink that stands out for its distinctive use of turmeric powder as a key element. Its structure offers a refined take on drinks, making it suitable for contemporary cocktail menus. Turmeric not only gives the cocktail its signature colour but also adds a textural complexity and slightly bitter edge that works well with herbal or citrus-forward modifiers. It pairs best with smoked appetisers or spiced nuts, highlighting its ability to match layered, aromatic foods without masking them.
