Caviar and cocktails come together because of the idea of elegance associated with the pairing – encouraging intermingling over food and drink in social settings. The combination may be preceded by certain reputation, but the success lies in how it is treated, as a good host relies on instinct and culinary cues.
Serving measured portions of caviar enables guests to enjoy its taste within the context of the whole spread, instead of overpowering any specific dish or cocktail.
Cold surfaces such as glass or porcelain prevent disruption of caviar’s integrity, preserving its natural texture and complementing drinks that rely on precision in temperature.
Leading a caviar course with lighter alcohol ensures that salinity and finish of the delicacy can express itself adequately, delivering a seamless beginning before assertive cocktail styles are introduced.
Planning caviar courses at a consistent pace rather than all at once allows for deliberate breaks between drinks – allowing guests to transition through textures without condensing the experience hurriedly.
Avoid over-accessorising caviar with too many condiments or herbs; let supporting elements such as crème fraîche or chive oil be gentle details that prevent a cohesiveness between sips and bites.
Blinis, potato roesti or egg bases are some of the usual mediums that offer foundation for caviar, thereby maintaining flavour consistency as a shift in profile is observed with cocktails. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
