Salt

Description:

Salt is a supporting bar ingredient that can affect aroma, texture, appearance, or finish. Details like this may seem small, but they often make a drink feel complete. Salty, spicy, and umami additions season the drink. Their job is to sharpen flavor and lengthen the finish without pushing the cocktail into cold-sauce territory. A tiny amount of salt enhances flavor much like it does in food. A salted rim works differently, adding a separate salty accent with each sip.
