Description

Extra virgin olive oil is not a common ingredient in cocktails, but for some, it is the ingredient that adds an exceptional personality. The taste, combined with its delicate softness, evokes different memories depending on its aromatization, often accompanied by sweet, spicy, or even smoky notes, and a flourishing persistence on the palate. Extra virgin olive oil is an elegant finish that enhances the primary ingredients without masking their identity, offering that extra element in the cocktail’s structure — “the silk” that wraps around the tongue and often turns something that might otherwise be “too liquid” and lacking in depth into something complex.
