 What makes the Treasure Valley all-around so unique is its fusion of a variety of culinary styles and cuisines into one melting pot of flavors. Among this is the rise of fusion cocktails from establishments like Ling & Louie’s Asian Bar and Grill in Meridian. So, on your next spring adventure, stop by fora flavorful and refreshing cocktail experience.

 Spiced Just Right

Just because the sun is hot doesn't mean you can't indulge your fiery side with a spiced cocktail. Spices, peppers, and even hot sauce are finding their way into some of your favorite traditional cocktails—and you're going to love it.

From Old Fashioned cocktails made with five spice to tequila infused with Thai chilies, for the heat seekers out there, the Treasure Valley offers ample drink selections to provide the burn for your sunny spring evening—no sunscreen required. 

 Asian Flavors Head South of the Border

The mixing and melding of cultural flavors from different parts of the world are what make fusion cocktails so delicious. For instance, drinks like the legendary margarita (on the rocks or blended) pair exceptionally well with Asian flavors like ginger for a ginger-lime combo sure to make you pucker. To top it off, adding flavored tequila makes for a crisp drink to cool you off after a hike through the foothills. The flavor combo is becoming incredibly popular, and when you stop in for a happy hour in Eagle ID or nearby be on the lookout because you’ll regret not taking the opportunity to try it. 

 Kombucha Earns Its Spot

Kombucha is mighty fine on its own, but when you turn it into a spicy, boozy cocktail, it takes on a whole different character. The probiotic-filled fermented tea is popular at restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores across the Treasure Valley with companies popping up left and right ready to bring their innovative flavors to kombucha lovers throughout the Gem State.

When you add chili-infused tequila and pineapple juice into the mix with a chili-salt rim and some kombucha, you have a tropical and exotic concoction like no other. Drift away on a sunny May afternoon and chat with friends over a fusion cocktail (or two) as you plan your next adventure.

The Delicious Emergence of Fusion Sushi in Idaho

One of the best things about Idaho, particularly the Treasure Valley, is how many surprises it still holds, even for longtime residents. A great example is the quality, variety, innovation, and most importantly, deliciousness of the cuisine supported by the Gem State. Part of our state’s reason for culinary excellence is likely a result of its diverse history of incomers. Idaho and, again, the Treasure Valley specifically, has hosted large populations of Chinese, Basque, Irish, and Hispanic immigrants (among a number of others). That rich cultural, social, and historical legacy is no doubt responsible for our modern-day community being so receptive to both excellent food and culinary inventiveness. The Treasure Valley is now home to a thriving fusion movement and some of the most exciting examples of it are Asian fusion restaurants.
