Savory cocktails are making a significant impact in mixology, with classic drinks being reimagined through unique ingredients like soy sauce. Billie Keithley, a liquid chef at Breckenridge Distillery, highlights how savory elements can add depth to cocktails. Soy sauce serves a dual purpose by amplifying flavors similar to salt while contributing its umami richness. This trend highlights a growing interest in Asian flavors among notable bars, emphasizing the versatility of soy sauce in crafting innovative drinks such as the MSG martini and the San Bei GG.
"Soy sauce is salty and unique. [It] adds another layer of depth ... Bartenders have been using savory ingredients for centuries: martinis, margaritas, fat washing, sauces, oils, spices, rich balsamic vinegars."
"Soy sauce is unique and goes a long way. Like saline or a pinch of salt, this will make flavors accentuate and complement if balanced correctly."
