“I have a very short list of things I don’t eat,” Roger Landes says. “Seaweed is nearly at the top of that list.”
As for what to mix with the syrup, Landes says, “we tried a lot of stuff and failed miserably.” Either the flavor of the seaweed was too strong, or it clashed with the spirits he was using. Landes thought gin would be a good pairing. Instead, he stuck with the idea of a savory drink, but turned to bourbon rather than gin.
Who’s next: Landes has challenged Michael Tsirtsis of Oak + Char to create a cocktail with Big League Chew bubble gum.
