A Guide to: Flavor Pairings and Recipe Development
By: Brent Nakano
Flavor = Taste + Chemesthesis + Aroma
Begin with the end in mind. When developing a recipe, having an overarching concept can be useful. As it pertains to cocktail menu development, this can help to set a conceptual balance of offerings. While A Guide to Cocktail Construction (hawaiibevguide.com/a-guide-to-cocktail-construction) provides a framework for thinking about individual cocktails, it does not address which cocktail formula to start with, nor does it address making philosophical/artistic ingredient choices. While these ingredient swaps and additions can also be very much an artistic choice, there are general guidelines that help to narrow down the universe of ingredients, maximize the art, and make the process more efficient.
The following article can be thought of as a reference to the Michelangelo quote, “Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it”. Instead of building a recipe from scratch, taking a conceptual approach is like taking the universe of thought and flavor and narrowing then narrowing the choices. More detailed insight into specific ingredient options and how to use them will be discussed in a future article.

General Feel
Cocktail Story/Theme
Telling a story with a menu can serve as a useful advertising tool, because it helps a guest better contextualize their potential experience. It can also help to communicate the ambiance of the establishment. From an execution perspective, a focus on storytelling can also help to narrow down the universe of flavors/ingredients to be used to make the menu. For example, one could utilize the ingredients found in A Guide to: Japanese Flavors (hawaiibevguide.com/a-guide-to-japanese-flavors), to build a Japanese Whiskey cocktail or shochu cocktail and tell a story related to Japan.

Cocktail Flavor Intensity
The initial question when developing a cocktail is often, light and refreshing versus spirit forward, as was initially presented in our Cocktail Formula Table. However, a better initial first question might be, “What level of complexity/flavor intensity is desirable?” The flavor intensity of an ingredient is dictated by the concentration of its flavor compounds and the general intensity of the compounds it contains. The general intensity of each compound can be measured by its odor threshold, which is defined as the lowest concentration of an aroma compound that is perceivable by the human sense of smell.

High flavor intensity cocktails
These cocktails are predominantly created from ingredients high in aroma compounds/essential oils relative to the overall volume they added to the cocktail. High Flavor intensity styles Spirit-Forward cocktails, Creamy Cocktails, Savory Cocktails High Flavor intensity ingredients

Low flavor intensity
Low flavor intensity ingredients, as they relate to cocktails, are those that also contribute significant amounts of water to a cocktail. Low flavor intensity styles Light and Refreshing Cocktails Low flavor intensity ingredients include

Cocktail Style/Formula
Picking a defined cocktail as noted in A Guide to Cocktail Construction helps to further conceptually narrow down the ingredients and techniques that will be used.
|
Low Flavor Intensity–Light/Refreshing
Refreshing is defined as agreeably stimulating because of freshness or newness [1]. Academic work on the topic, as noted in Labbe et al. (2009), has found that refreshing tends to be associated with foods sharing sensory characteristics with water like clear, cold, liquid [2]. Ramirez, Hampton and Du (2022) note that research has found the tastes correlated with refreshing are food or beverage dependent [3]. For example, in gel, refreshing was negatively correlated with sweetness and positively correlated with acidity [4]. However, in beer, acidity, bitter, malty, hoppy, burnt, and metallic notes are negatively associated with refreshment [5]. More recently, Hampton, Pham and Du (2023) studied refreshing perception as it correlates to beers of 0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% ABV and flavors of citrus, cucumber and lime. They found that alcohol percentage, flavor intensity, sourness, astringency, and bitterness was negatively correlated with refreshing, whereas the perception of refreshing was positively correlated with carbonation, clean, and crisp flavors [6]. Some flavors have been positively correlated with refreshing as well. In particular, mint and peach were found by Labbe et al. (2009) to be refreshing, as well as watermelons and cucumbers by Ramirez et al. (2022). Cocktail Styles Julep, Highball, Collins, Sour, International Sour, Punch Example ingredients
|
High Flavor Intensity – Spirit Forward
Alcoholic beverages on their own are spirit-forward with high intensity flavors consisting of a concentrated mix of aroma compounds. Due to the aromatic complexity of spirits, spirit-forward cocktails can also be thought of as complex. Cocktail Styles Martini, Duo, Old Fashioned Example ingredients Liqueurs, Fortified Wine, Bitters, Essential Oils, High flavor intensity ingredients. High Flavor Intensity – Creamy Creamy cocktails are dominated by a blend of the highly flavor intense base spirit and high flavor intensity cream (high fat content). This outlier style does not fall under spirit forward, due to the lower ABV of the cocktail, though it is also not considered light and refreshing, due to the high intensity ingredients required to fight through the high fat content of the creamy ingredients. Cocktail Styles Flip. Example Ingredients Aged spirits, high fat ingredients like cream, liqueurs, aromatic bitters, other flavors extracted with ethanol such as a tincture. High Flavor Intensity – Savory Savory cocktails are highly flavor intense because tomato juice has high flavor intensity. This requires the other ingredients to be equally as bold or greater to have any influence. Cocktail Styles Bloodies Example Ingredients Tomato Juice, High acid citrus, essential oils from herbs and spices. |
Taste
Taste is defined as what is sensed by distinct taste receptors. That is: Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami (savory), and oleogustus (fatty). When developing a recipe, while a cocktail style generally defines taste, further defining its balance helps to refine the ingredient and proportions to be used. Traditionally, this refinement is done using taste balancing “rules” developed through historical trial and error. When the interplay between the various tastes is done well in a cocktail, it is sometimes referred to as “well balanced". However, we generally dislike the term “well balanced” as it is typically used to express: “This tastes good, but I have no idea how to describe what I’m tasting”. Rather, descriptors of the dominant taste or interplay of taste within a cocktail, like sweet-tart as is found in Sours and its derivatives, bitter-sweet as is found in Spirit-Forward cocktails, or savory as is a signature of Bloodies, are much more useful.
From a scientific perspective, while we have summarized the neurobiological explanations for the function of the different taste receptors, we have yet to find an explanation as to why some tastes modify others.

Sweet
Sensory mechanics [7] Sweet taste is detected when sugars come into contact with taste buds and bind to specific receptor proteins known as T1R2 and T1R3. These receptor proteins form a heterodimer, meaning they work together as a complex. When sugars bind to the T1R2/T1R3 heterodimer, it triggers a cascade of biochemical reactions within the taste bud cells. Sweet counteracts
Sweet enhances Salty, exemplified in a margarita salted rim. Example Ingredients Agave nectar, Cocoa powder, grenadine, molasses, maple syrup, pandan syrup, sugar (white, brown, muscovado), gomme syrup, glucose syrup, stevia. Sour Sensory Mechanics [8] The detection of sour taste is closely linked to the presence of acid hydrogen ions (H+). When acidic compounds dissolve in saliva, they release hydrogen ions. These hydrogen ions activate the OTOP1 sour receptor, an ion channel that is selectively permeable to protons. Sour balances
Sour enhances Salty and Umami, exemplified by pickles like umeboshi (pickled plum) and cucumber pickles. Example Ingredients
Bitter Sensory Mechanics [9] Bitter taste is detected through the binding of bitter compounds with TAS2Rs taste receptor proteins. This activates signaling pathways within the cells and triggers the release of intracellular messengers, such as calcium ions, which ultimately leads to the transmission of nerve impulses to the brain. Bitter balances
Example ingredients Coffee, unsweetened cocoa, grapefruit, hops (and beer), bitters (gentian root and cinchona bark), amaro, tonic water, tea. |
Umami (Savory) and Salty
While umami is the perception of savory or meaty flavors, salty is the perception of sodium chloride and other similar ionic compounds. However, their cocktail utilization is similar. Sensory Mechanics of Salty [10] When salt dissolves in saliva, sodium and chloride ions enter taste bud cells through specific ion channels, such as the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). This influx of ions depolarizes the taste bud cells, leading to the generation of electrical signals. Sensory Mechanics of Umami [11] The detection of umami taste involves the binding of glutamate and certain nucleotides with taste receptor proteins called T1R1 and T1R3. When these molecules bind to the T1R1/T1R3 receptor complex, they initiate signaling pathways within the taste bud cells that lead to the generation of nerve impulses perceived as umami. Salty/umami enhances
Salty/umami counteracts
Example ingredients
Oleogustus/Fat Oleogustus (oleo=fatty gustus = taste) Sensory Mechanics [12] [13] It is believed that taste receptors like CD36 and GPR120 detect fatty acids. Their detection triggers signaling pathways that contribute to the perception of oleogustus. Its presence as a taste was difficult to isolate due to oleogustus also being involved in texture and fatty acids with aromatic properties. Creamy cocktails, for example, are partially driven by the balance between oleogustus and sweet. Oleogustus enhances
Oleogustus counteracts
Example ingredients Cream, fat (used in fat washing), oil. For more insight into oleogustus Running, C. A., Craig, B. A., & Mattes, R. D. (2015). Oleogustus: the unique taste of fat.

Physiological reviews, 96(1), 151-176. https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/physrev.00002.2015 
|
Chemesthesis
Unlike taste, which is detected by taste receptors, chemesthesis is the chemical activation of sensory receptors on specialized nerve endings. These sensory receptors are not specific to taste or odor, and are also involved in other sensory perceptions like heat, cold, pain, tingling, and irritation even though there is no physical change. In cocktails, chemesthesis can be utilized to create different sensations and enhance the experience
|
Spicy Sensation: Heat Sensory Mechanics [14] Active compounds like capsaicin (from chili peppers), piperine (from black peppers), and gingerol (from ginger) bind to and stimulate “transient receptor potential vanilloid 1” (TRPV1) cation channels that are primarily located in sensory nerve endings. TRPV1 receptors are involved in the perception of temperature and pain. Their activation triggers the release of neurotransmitters that send signals to the brain, conveying the perception of heat or pain. Spicy balances
Example Ingredients Wasabi, horseradish, fresh ginger, chili peppers, hot sauces Cooling/Menthol Sensation: Cooling Sensory Mechanics [15]: Menthol activates the TRPM8 cold receptors. These receptors are also involved in the perception of low temperatures. This activation leads to conformational changes and subsequent opening of the channel, thereby |
allowing ions, particularly calcium and sodium, to flow into the sensory nerve endings. This generates electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain and interpreted as a cooling sensation.
Example Ingredients Mint Carbon Dioxide Sensation: Tingling or stinging. (This is different than the actual physical feeling of bubbles) Sensory Mechanics [16] CO2 is converted to carbonic acid by the carbonic anhydrase enzyme found in mouth tissue (this enzyme is also found throughout the body and helps to regulate blood pH). The tingle of the painful aspect of carbonation is acidification of tissue and receptors on trigeminal nerve endings in the oral cavity. It is believed that the particular acid-sensing receptors are those from the TRPA1 (Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1) channels and others from the transient receptor potential (TRP) family.. Example Ingredients: Soda For more insight into Carbon Dioxide Wise, P. M., Wolf, M., Thom, S. R., & Bryant, B. (2013). The influence of bubbles on the perception carbonation bite. PLoS One, 8(8), e71488. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0071488 |
Mouthfeel
Mouthfeel is the physical parameters of food, including texture and temperature
|
Texture
Unlike the diversity of textures in food, beverages textures are limited to variations on residual granular solids from ice or pulp, variations in viscosity, and variations in entrapped air. Residual solids Solids can be caused by ice or from other ingredients like pulp. For example:
Entrapped air
Viscosity Beyond a change in mouthfeel, viscosity can influence the finish of a cocktail by extending it.
Astringency Astringency, as it pertains to cocktails, is more likely to be caused by the alcohol content of a cocktail, which causes tissue shrinkage due to the abstraction of water from the tissue. This can also be caused by various polyphenols binding to salivary proteins as discussed in A Guide to Wine Polyphenols (hawaiibevguide.com/wine-polyphenols.html). For wine tannins, different tannin descriptors for wine like grippy, plush, and silky are explained in a good summary by Master of Wine Jacky Blisson (jackyblisson.com/wine-tannin-glossary. Astringent can be balanced by
Example ingredients Red wine, oak, green or black tea, pomegranate, juniper. |
Temperature
The feel and taste of a beverage is influenced by temperature. Mechanics of temperature While the following mechanisms are influential on taste and aroma, studies on temperature are based upon consumer preference of a particular beverage rather than finding an ideal temperature based upon neuroscience and physics.
Cocktail temperature The general temperature concepts are cold/chilled and warm, with few beverages being served at room temperature. An exception to this is neat distilled spirits. Given that the focus of this article on cocktail development, and that cocktails are primarily chilled, a useful, frequently cited study on the serving temperature of white wine by Ross and Weller (2008), helps to better understand the concept. The study found that increasing wine from 4-18°C (39-64°F) increased aromatic intensity, especially in white wines. However, no changes in sweetness, acidity, or astringency were found by increasing temperature. Oenologist Dr. Carien Coetzee, in a blog post about serving temperature on Sauvignon Blanc South Africa’s website, suggests that these findings indicate that ideal temperatures are a matter of personal preference, and that “bad wines can become almost palatable when served ice cold” [17].

Aroma
Aroma is sensed via olfaction and retronasal olfaction, and is where the large diversity and nuance of flavor comes from. Typically, aroma combinations are memorized combinations of ingredients that “work,” as is exemplified by The Flavor Bible by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg. However, why these ingredient combinations “work” has been the topic of increased discussion and academic research, because understanding and articulating why ingredients pair together is a useful teaching tool and increased opportunities for creativity.
Technology has helped to transform our understanding of food science. As noted in many of our articles, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry is used to chemically analyze ingredients and beverages to understand what aroma compounds create its flavor. More recently, this research has been combined with statistical analysis to better understand relationships between ingredients. For example, a frequently cited study by Ahn et al. (2011) used data from the recipe repositories epicurious.com, allrecipes.com, and menupan.com (from Korea) to develop a statistical relationship between ingredients deemed “the flavor network” [20]. This work was then further expanded by Simas et al. (2017) in a study in which mathematical techniques were applied to several regional cuisines. This resulted in the encoding of a relationship between the flavor network and regional styles of food into the concept of “food-bridging [21]

Food-pairing Cuisines
High food-pairing + low food-bridging. Concept Flavors are intensified by mixing ingredients with similar chemical compounds. The concept was popularized by Francois Benzi and Heston Blumenthal, and statistically proven by Ahn et al. (2011). Cuisine types Western cuisines which subcluster into a group consisting of Southern European cuisine and North American cuisine and a group consisting of Western and Eastern European cuisines where:
Food-bridging Cuisines Low food-pairing + high food-bridging. Concept Two ingredients that do not share a strong molecular or empirical affinity are bridged through another ingredient or a path of non-repeating ingredients within a network of ingredient affinities. Simas et al. (2017) provide the following example which links garlic and strawberry (these only share 5 aroma compounds which were not specified in the text):
Cuisine types Southeastern Asian cuisines including: Indonesian, Malaysian, Filipino, Thai, and Vietnamese. These cuisines start with a similar approach to East Asian cuisines, but include other ingredients that emphasize bridging contrasting flavors. |
Avoidance of food-bridging and food-pairing
Low food-pairing + low food-bridging Concept Ingredients contrast each other in respect to flavor. Cuisine types East Asian cuisines like Korean, Chinese, and Japanese cuisines. Food-bridging AND food-pairing Cuisines High food-pairing + high food-bridging. Concept These dishes tend to reinforce the intensity of flavor using both food-pairing and food-bridging. This creates both a direct and indirect intensification of flavors in a recipe, by reinforcing common flavors and smoothing contrasts between flavored contrasted ingredients. Cuisine types Latin American cuisines like Caribbean, Central America, South American, and Mexican cuisines. Practical Implications Ahn et al. (2011) note the food-pairing (or avoidance of food-pairing) effect is due to a few outliers that are frequently used in a particular cuisine. This means that in cocktails, flavor combinations that are commonly found in cuisine as seen in sauces or seasonings can be referenced to provide that cuisine’s particular feel. The ingredients found were:
In a recent work by Sony Corporation’s ’Artificial Intelligence group a development of a food recommended pairing concept was developed.
