Like any other art form, inspiration for creating cocktails can come from anywhere. Sometimes I’m improving old recipes, sometimes I want to feature a new technique and build cocktails around that Sometimes I’m trying to recreate the flavors of my favorite food in a drink and sometimes, albeit rarely, the inspiration comes from a more abstract place. And really anything that inspires you can become the initial spark for a cocktail creation it could be an emotion, a painting or a color.
Today’s cocktail was inspired by the cover of an Elliot Smith song done by Seth Avett and Jessica Lee Mayfield that I became legit obsessed with. Obsessed where I had the urge to listen to it as soon as I woke up and then would listen to it several times a day. The Fond Farewell was my bid at trying to capture the emotion of a song in a cocktail. You guys should make it and tell me how I did
