Cardamom
SpiceWinterUsed in ~3 drinks
Intensely aromatic, simultaneously citrusy and camphorous — cardamom is one of the most complex single spices in the bartender's arsenal. Green cardamom delivers bright, eucalyptus-tinged warmth, while black cardamom adds a smoky, almost meaty depth. In cocktails, cardamom provides an exotic complexity that elevates simple preparations into something that feels well-traveled and intentional.
Aroma
The nose is heady and multifaceted — eucalyptus, lemon peel, warm resin, and a sweet, floral quality that shifts between green and woody as you inhale.
