You’ll be the first to try cricket flour and you’re patiently waiting for Dinner Lab to arrive in Seattle.
Till then, sate your foodie inclinations in liquid form.
Addition cocktail infusions are handcrafted using a traditional maceration process to give your boozy drinks a spicy or savory kick.
Experiment with flavors ranging from Szechuan pepper, Thai green chili, and jalapeno to star anise, cardamom, and clove. Drop in one “blast” (i.e., an eyedropper’s worth) at a time till you reach beverage heaven. Two blasts of tarragon and green chili revamp the classic Moscow mule by amplifying the ginger and balancing the sugar with Thai spice. Enhance the flavor of a simple mimosa with a half blast of star anise.
When backyard barbecues call for beer, add complexity and heat to standard suds by dropping a few dashes of original, smoky, or extra spicy sauce right into your can.
And let your taste buds tingle.
Available at Wine World, 400 Northeast 45th Street (206-402-6086); for more information, go to drinkaddition.com, $12-$36.
