Yearly, the world produces over 23 million tons of espresso waste—but nobody actually talks about it. That all the time puzzled me. Everybody drinks espresso, however why does nobody care about what’s left behind? I began pondering—even after it’s brewed, the grounds nonetheless have aroma, texture, and depth. So, I started experimenting with leftover espresso, making an attempt to offer it a second life behind the bar.
On the similar time, we run a contemporary juice program, and I’d watch as piles of citrus—peels, pulp, and cores — ended up within the bin after we’d taken what we wanted. I used to be already making oleo saccharum from the peels, however the waste nonetheless felt extreme. Then there was the maraschino cherry juice—that syrup on the backside of the jar that by no means will get poured. Candy, tart, stuffed with character… and all the time wasted.
One quiet evening, I requested myself: What if I mixed all of it—the espresso, the citrus, and the cherry syrup—right into a single ingredient? That second sparked the creation of a brand new shrub: a mix of three waste streams that will in any other case be forgotten, now reworked into one thing flavorful and purposeful.
And since most bartenders dread making the Ramos Gin Fizz… I embraced it. I’ve all the time admired the drink’s complexity and creamy class. I rebuilt it with Flor de Caña 12, a rum rooted in volcanic soil and sustainability—the right spirit to hold this message. I serve it in a ceramic bowl, impressed by the handmade vessels my mom used rising up, symbolizing intention and craft.
“Flor de Fizz” is greater than a cocktail. It’s a dialog about what we throw away—and what occurs once we cease seeing waste and begin seeing potential.
