Barman’s tips
Salted and smoked agave syrup: put 3g of smoked salt and 180g of boiling water in a jug. Stir until the salt has dissolved. Mix 120g of agave syrup with 6cl of the salted water.
Coriander essence: add 3g of fresh coriander to 18cl of vodka. Vacuum seal and cook at 60°C for 1h30 or put in a firmly closed bottle and put through the dishwasher.
