An old alchemists’
proverb says that ‘sweet can only be derived from bitter’. This
elegant glass is aimed at achieving a harmonious blend of sweetness
and bitterness, thus enhancing the paradoxical pleasures of these
digestives.
When drinking bitters
or root and herb-based spirits the glass should only be one-third
filled, since this will allow the bouquet of such drinks to be fully
appreciated. Herb and root spirits vary in alcoholic strength, but
most have a bitter taste and also possess certain healing qualities. |
