Creative spirit: Designer makes drinks you can eat

Guixé’s biscuits are not the traditional baked fare, however, but technical concepts of imaginary biscuits designed to enhance the way people taste liquor. In the exhibition, they are represented as 3D-printed models, and each has a different shape to match the drink. The whiskey biscuit has various sized holes throughout, so when the whiskey is poured it becomes oxygenated, which enhances the flavour. The hexagonal biscuit for vodka is flavoured with pepper, to bring out certain notes in the white spirit.

‘[An] embedded drink is not a cake soaked in alcohol, but an intelligent container [used] to taste in a much more technical [manner] without the need of a glass or a cup,’ explains the designer.
