Congruent Pairings:
Grilled white fish with lemon and herbs
The dryness of the tonic is enhanced by light, zesty flavors, creating a clean and bright pairing.
Citrus-dressed crab or shrimp cocktail
Shellfish has a slight sweetness that pairs well with the bitterness, while citrus echoes the tonic’s flavor.
Avocado and citrus salad
The smooth texture of avocado balances the dryness, and the citrus boosts the tonic’s yuzu notes.
Complementary Pairings:
Rich duck pâté
The bitterness cuts through the rich, fatty pâté, making it feel lighter and preventing it from being too heavy.
Creamy burrata with olive oil and sea salt
The creaminess of burrata softens the tonic’s dryness, while the salt amplifies its citrus brightness.
Spicy Asian dishes (e.g., Thai green curry)
The dry, bitter elements contrast with the richness and spice of coconut-based curries, refreshing the palate between bites.
