Salt is a versatile ingredient which enhances flavour in both cooking and mixology. ⁣
⁣
During cooking, salt acts as a flavour enhancer by amplifying other taste elements, primarily sweetness and umami while reducing bitterness. Similarly in mixology, salt has the ability to balance and accentuate flavours in a drink, especially those that are fruit-based or contain savoury elements. Experience the interplay of salt with other elements in our latest creations from Spotlight Menu 5.0: Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. ⁣
