Spurred on by TikTok food trends and digital recipe sharing by all-star chefs and mixologists, food and drink innovations seem to be popping up at an increasingly rapid clip. As we share, swap, and riff on concepts, creativity seems to be climbing to new heights, as well. In the drinks space alone, as recipe developers are seeking new ways to make their mark, we’re seeing a flurry of cocktail recipes that are a mash-up two drinks (ahem, Matcha Martinis), are variations on the classics (Parmesan Espresso Martinis) and are serious time-savers (we’re looking at you, freezer door cocktails!).
The latest cocktail trend that caught our eye? The Olive Oil Martini. That’s right, in the season when Starbucks launched their olive oil-infused Oleato coffee drink line and some sippers are spiking their home coffee with a spoonful of EVOO, one mixologist we spoke to says we should keep that heart-healthy fat handy to level-up our martinis.

We were clued into this idea while doing coast to coast outreach to land at our 2023 drink of summer. (We selected the Hugo Spritz, by the way, due to its summery flavor and low-ABV, but swooned over this any-time-of-year cocktail idea, too.)

When you go to a fast-casual restaurant for lunch, what’s your go-to option? Chances are it’s some sort of bowl. If you go to Cava, it’s going to be a mediterranean-inspired bowl with some sort of grain like brown rice at the base, veggies, hummus, and lots of tzatziki. If you go to Chipotle, chances are you’re reaching for a burrito bowl with brown rice, beans, a protein, cheese, and a hefty dollop of guac. But who says you have to add a grain base to your lunch bowl in order for it to be considered both fulfilling and healthy? If you’re over this trend or just want to try something new, let us introduce you to a new and life-changing concept straight from TikTok: cheese bowls for lunch.

With the memory of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show still very much in our minds, I was struck by some of the overarching themes this year. The commitment to sustainability and creating naturalistic gardens continues, as does our concern for mental health, wellbeing, and social issues. On this note, the smallest garden in the history of Chelsea, The Green Gap, got me thinking about the issue of scarcity. Show gardens are by their nature large beasts, exhibiting the best in design, synthesised with a story. Grow2Know (the organisation behind this garden) challenges us, with their diminutive garden, only 4.2 square metres, to think about disparities in access to green spaces.
