In the summer, the combination of infused honey varieties and French flavours are an innovative one to explore – lightness that retains depth of flavour and a sophisticated pairing that works across several meals. The approach focusses on what each ingredient can bring and creates a match that is far removed from the usually explored classics. *All concoctions listed use 30ml liquor measurements.

The floral-citrus vibrancy of the cocktail is ideal to offset the richness of the salad dressing, which complements the ingredients of the lunch classic as well as floral notes of the drink.
Acidic profiles of the cocktail are an assertive pairing to the fatty rillettes while mellow notes of ginger spiciness reawaken the palate.
The French 75’s sparkle and acidity neutralise the palate between creamy mouthfuls of the savoury pastry while herbal profiles of the honey support the savoury framework of the tart.
This combination is effective because the earthy sweetness of the old fashioned variation is a great match for the umami flavours derived from crisp roasted chicken skin while the bitters highlight its herbal seasonings.
The effervescent drink’s gentle acidity complements the vegetable-loaded treat’s delicate and diverse texture – allowing the honey to mellow vegetal pungency – leaving a full-bodied, crisp finish with each sip.
The floral-citrus core of the concoction neutralises the heat and acidity of the sauce, while its structure parallels light char on the shrimp without obscuring its inherent sweetness.
