What Is Saline Solution?
A subtle yet impactful ingredient in cocktails, saline solution is a diluted mixture of sea salt and water, typically at a 4:1 ratio (20g sea salt to 80g water). Used in small amounts (drops), it enhances flavors by balancing sweetness, reducing bitterness, and adding depth without making the drink taste salty. Popular in modern mixology, it is especially effective in spirit-forward and citrus-based cocktails.
