Raising the Bars in Palm Beach

The Breakers Resort in Palm Beach is on the “cutting edge” of cocktail creativity using garnishes.  Master sommeliers, expert mixologists and award-winning chefs have fused their creative talents to deliver classic, spirit-based drinks with an exciting culinary twist: garnishes of distinction featuring artisanal fresh and local ingredients – brandy-soaked cherries, candied oranges, niçoise olives, tomolives, tomatillo; infused salts such as tequila lime salt; hand-crafted simple syrups made with fresh local honey, sugar and water; house-made cardamom and hibiscus syrups, edible hibiscus flowers, house-made canton ginger pearls (crafted using a spherification technique); togarashi salt (based on this Japanese chili pepper blend), roasted coconut dust, shiso leaves; and edible ruby and diamond luster.

The Breakers’ refreshing new take on the standard garnish tray adds an adventurous dimension to the cocktail renaissance of recent years.  Garnishes are no longer an afterthought but one of the best parts of the drink!
