FROM PROFILE TO SERVE
Turn Flavour Character Into a Drink.
Use this simple process to decide where a flavour fits best.
01
Identify the profile
Start with the flavour’s main character: bright, rich, floral, fruity or spiced.
02
Choose a matching base
Pair it with a base that supports rather than hides the flavour.
03
Set the intensity
Use enough syrup to make the profile clear without overpowering the drink.
04
Add contrast
Use acidity, bitterness, texture or aroma to create balance.
05
Finish with purpose
Choose garnish and presentation that reinforce the flavour story.
