Chant “savory cocktails” in the mirror three times, and an angry sweet tooth will appear to tell you that savory and cocktails don’t go together.
What do you do at this point? You make the entity a Bloody Mary.
A number of cocktails cater to people with a sweet tooth. But what about those of us who like our drinks with a pinch of salt. The options are limited, but they exist.
So don’t give up on your umami cravings just yet. Savory cocktails are the perfect partner for your meals. They not only enhance the fine dining experience, but can also keep your sugar intake in check.
The following are some of the best savory cocktails that you can make:
Bloody Mary
This famous, revolutionary cocktail is the perfect drink for brunch. It can be made by blending vodka, Worcestershire sauce, tomato juice, Tabasco, lemon juice, and horseradish.
The greatest benefit of Bloody Mary is that it’s highly customizable. You can swap tequila with vodka and add some clam juice—and there, you have a Bloody Maria/Bloody Caesar. You can also experiment with a range of hot sauces, garnish it, and blend it with salt rims—it’s all up to you!
Bullshot
This one sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?
A beef stock for an incredible savory cocktail experience might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think savory cocktail; however, our experience tells us that this savory cocktail is comparable to the comfort you get from mom’s soup recipe.
Bullshot garnered a cult following back in 1950. But this savory drink isn’t past its prime. In order to indulge in this incredible experience, all you need is vodka, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce.
Blend the three ingredients together and have an amazing, one-of-a-kind cocktail experience.
Dirty Martini
Your friends can’t stop chugging down glasses of martini, but you don’t understand the hype. What’s the big deal?
We understand. For those of us who find the classic martini too dry or boring, you can add a dash of olive brine to tune the harsh alcohol flavors down. You can also take your martini up a notch by infusing it with smoked olive juice and rosemary olive oil.
