C. Cassis Blackcurrant

3 weeks ago | ediblebrooklyn.com | Clark Moore

Please pardon the kir pun; I want to discuss the idea of “curiosity,” which is at the heart of C. Cassis. Simply beholding the bottle itself, there are numerous curiosities and striking features: the Santorini-esque blue-and-white label; the Matisse-inspired graphic “C”; the white-wax-coated cap; and finally, the contrast of these elements to the jewel-purple-toned elixir inside. But perhaps the most curious aspect is the descriptor of the cassis itself: aperitif.
Lambrusco

“Wait, that exists?!?!” This was a response from a recent bar guest who had never heard of Lambrusco. These are the fascinating moments of discovery in my profession that make me happiest. “Yes,” I said, “It’s a chilled, sparkling, red wine.”“Well, sign me up—I’ve got to try this!”Aside from its unique qualities, Lambrusco has an interesting history.
The Würz That Can Happen

OK, Sauvignon Blanc drinkers, I’m calling you out. You may claim to covet the clean, refined, stone-slicked expressions of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, but you and I know that any Sauvignon Blanc will suffice. How else can I reconcile the popularity of the tropical, showgirl stylings of New Zealand SB? In fact, I recently opened a Sauvignon Blanc from Alto Adige that limboed out of the bottle like a full-blown tiki cocktail, with a hula blast of passionfruit and guava.
Salers for Old Salts

Aug 15, 2024 | ediblemanhattan.com | Clark Moore

On paper, a burger and Cabernet Sauvignon suit each other quite nicely. But while outside in the heat of summer, do you really want the “Cab sweats” caused by drinking a high-ABV red? I’ll recommend instead this cocktail that features a salt-and-pepper lime cordial accompanied by Salers, a low-ABV French aperitif made from aromatic gentian root. The fresh, herbal, and vegetal flavors of Salers—combined with sweet-seasoned lime—truly capture the spirit of the season.

A Unique Garden-Variety

I’ve never felt more like a chump than when I was in Provence. As I walked along thetrails of Cap d’Antibes, the wild hedges of rosemary were easily 20 to 30 feet tall andextended—without hyperbole—for miles. And that’s just the rosemary. Add to this the lavender, thyme, wormwood, and all manner of other herbs, and it was sufficient to set the senses and mind reeling.

Let Them Drink Cake

Dec 19, 2023 | prod.ediblemanhattan.com | Clark Moore

We were at a dinner party speaking on the subject of psychedelics. People were sharing their unimaginable experiences when a friend chimed in with a claim that tea can affect consciousness just as much as mushrooms. Of course, consciousness is affected by any number of stimuli. Wearing a particular color or scent can alter anyone’s day for better or worse. We’ve all had moments when we’d have gladly paid $1,000 to use a restroom. Think of your state of mind before and after an orgasm.

The Quintessence of Eloquence

Breathe easy: No apples will be tortured for this autumn beverage column. Instead, I’d like to talk about quince. If you’ve never encountered one, think back to the sun this past summer as seen through the haze of wildfire smoke—muted yellow in tone, and often accompanied with a light beard of gray, dust-bunny-like fuzz. Quince are unique as fruit, in the sense that they are best consumed cooked. While you can eat them raw, they’re about as appealing as raw eggplants or potatoes.
