Ritz-Carlton Weddings - July 2013 - (Page 50)
Timely TradiTion The ritual of the tea ceremony has figured largely
in Chinese weddings since time immemorial. yet many young couples
hesitate to embrace the customary at the expense of the contemporary.
At the Portman ritz-carlton, Shanghai, there’s no need to choose.
The tradition continues, albeit in slightly unfamiliar fashion, with a gin
and tonic that, thanks to the culinary team’s mastery of mixology and
high-pressure high jinks, is infused with the essence of jasmine tea.
The gin becomes suffused with the essence of jasmine, and the cocktail
that results masquerades about the reception in a traditional tea set
with dry ice creating the illusion of steam. The brilliance of this pairing
lies not just in breathing the lively spirit of gin into the sanctity of an
age-old Chinese tradition, but in masterfully pairing the oh-so-smooth,
ever-so-slightly smoky cocktail with the delicate-beyond-compare
sweetness of baby sea scallops, dressed with a mild citrus vinaigrette.
