Daily Dose

Daily Dose

“One of my strengths is maximizing flavor through syrups and infusions,” says Parker Luthman. He demonstrates the point in his coffee–five spice syrup, the sweetener of choice for his Daily Dose, a shaken mixture of Cognac, Byrrh quinquina, carrot juice, pineapple juice and lemon juice that reads, in Luthman’s words, “like an adulteration of your morning juice and coffee to get your fix.” It is juicy and layered, with a subtle savory hint.
