The Unmistakable

Growing up in Malaysia, I was exposed to many different aromas and spices that have influenced my drinking and eating habits. I love finding ingredients that traditionally wouldn’t go together, but in some weird and wonderful way combine to make a flavour profile that is greater than the sum of its parts. Australia (now my home) has native ingredients unlike anywhere else in the world.

To me, this was sesame seeds and macadamias.

Vermouth Brings the Funk

Kombucha, a fermented tea drink, has come into vogue over the past few years, with different brands popping up all over the place. Finding a good brand is key and I always prefer to use the unflavoured varieties, as the flavoured ones tend to mask the other ingredients in a drink. Dolin Blanc is a light vermouth with a floral finish that gives the coconut water a lift.
