“Think Not anything!” A mantra for The Crown as we labored in opposition to opening our doorways in March of 2019, the word changed into a Menu phase, encouraging our guests to drop their preconceptions and be open to new and scrumptious stories. And now it’s the identify of a drink recipe sequence, so that you can recreate at house. Right here’s to a 12 months of assuming not anything!
Within the mushy spirit of all issues Cancerian, we welcome the heat of {the summertime} with this bubbling cherry-rose coffee tonic. In tarot, the Queen of Cups represents a person who’s type, equanimous, and deeply intuitive. She leads with compassion and is accepting of each her gentle and darkish sides. As I bask within the glow of the season, I in finding myself interested in the power of this delicate queen and used to be impressed to create a drink in her honor. I meant to create a drink that encompasses the energies of each the despair and the exuberant, the weighty but airy sides of our lives. We achieved this via pairing deep cherry tones and decadent coffee with refined rose and the brightness of tonic, a wedding of opposing but equivalent elements of “darkness” and “gentle.” A touch of cardamom complements the effervescence of this refreshing summertime deal with. I’ve particularly designed the drink to spotlight the richness of our herbal coffee (recently the Peru Finca Tasta), however it is usually scrumptious with the washed and decaf espressos.
