Olive oil can be an exciting ingredient to work with in a cocktail, both for its taste and for its texture. The aromatic profiles of an extra virgin olive oil are multiple and influence its application. One can thus create astonishing combinations and exploit infinite aromatic subtleties. For this recipe, we used Maison Orphée's balanced organic extra virgin olive oil, which has a delicate aroma of tomato stalks and a velvety taste of ripe olives. Its bitterness is marked potent, but its pungency is moderate; hence its name “balanced”.
