A lot of people believe that a cocktail is just a mixture of different spirits. That it’s just a fancy way of drinking a spirit and nothing more. A simple addition of different spirits coated in a fancy-looking glass with a flamboyant color. But no: a cocktail is a chemical reaction, one that goes beyond just the simple addition, that involves laborious efforts, extractions, reductions, and continuous testing and improvement. The results of this chemical reaction are intriguing to the eye, not just flamboyant, and during the course of the night extend an influence to human interactions. That was the case for me this week as I was trying cocktails at Mominette‘s. Among many delicious contenders, the Azuro was the one that intrigued me the most.
