A historic staple of Levantine cuisine, tahini—a creamy mixture of ground sesame seeds—has been used in savory and sweet dishes for centuries, writes Laurel Miller (@snackingonxanax). And while you may be more accustomed to mixing it into your hummus, there’s a good argument for mixing it into your cocktails as well. Tahini’s mellow, nutty flavor and luxurious texture can be used in various cocktail applications, from fat washing and syrups to stepping in as an orgeat substitute. Head to the link in our bio to check out some creative ways to add tahini to your cocktail repertoire.
