The invention of the upcoming SpaceLiner, which can get you from Turkey to Australia in just 90 minutes, is fairly solid proof that we live in a global culture, and soon enough, there will be no such thing as “local” anymore. If you need more proof of this glorious globalization (and you like that proof spiked with gin), shake yourself up a nice herbal martini made with Altar. Dubbed the “First Herbal & Botanical Mood Mixer” ($20.00) these unique elixirs combine the best and most exotic ingredients from every corner of the earth, from the fruits of Asia to the teas of Africa and India, the flowers of Germany and the herbs of America’s Pacific Northwest, just to name a few. Each herbal martini mixture has been specially curated and blended to serve up a specific mood, with such delectable flavors as Aphrodisiac, Bliss, Chi, Restore and Chill. They can all be enjoyed on their own as a virgin concoction (quite without guilt, as a matter of fact, as they range from 25-40 calories a serving), or with your favorite liquors, from vodka to gin, rum, tequila, champagne, or whatever spirit the Hmong shaman has cooked up today. Shake one up, tip it back and say, chin chin, salud, slainte, prost, kampai…you get the hint.
