How It Tastes
Yogesh Kumar
Competing for Future Icon 2026
"To create a true Future Icon, I stripped away the need for complicated kitchen prep, advanced machinery, and perishable ingredients. 'The Salt & Soil' relies entirely on stable, globally available back-bar icons. By combining the rich agave terroir of Patrón Reposado with the herbal crispness of Martini Extra Dry and the universal umami of olive brine, I have created a sustainable, high-margin highball that can be seamlessly implemented on any cocktail menu, anywhere in the world."
100% Weber Blue Agave, tahona-crushed and small-batch distilled — additive-free, bright and remarkably smooth.
