In search of the ultimate culinary autumn treat, we've delved into the world of cocktails. When it gets to the latest trends in the cocktail world, truffle themed drinks are certainly one of the most exciting ones. It is not so long since they have been exciting bartenders and connoisseurs alike, and it seems that this trend is nowhere near reaching its peak. But what is the particular fascination surrounding this creative mixture of spirits? Traditionally, we know truffles in fine slices over fresh tagliatelle, in a delicate risotto or to refine a meat dish. Are truffle cocktails really as good as everyone claims? We set out to solve the mystery and tried out the most popular truffle cocktail recipes.

First of all, the truffle aroma is intense and delicious. Truffles have an aroma that is stronger than any other spice or fruit you would normally find in a drink. They also add a touch of luxury to any cocktail. So if you like it flamboyant and exclusive, you definitely have to give it a try!

Of course, opinions differ regarding the method of preparation: some bartenders prefer a rather minimalist approach and only use the most necessary ingredients (truffles and spirits); others like to blend in more exotic spices or liqueurs to give the cocktail an even jazzier twist. As with all other recipes, we recommend that you try it out and find out for yourself what tastes best.
