Embedded Drinks is a project that invites the public to reconsider their relationship to alcohol. Created by Spanish designer and food enthusiast Marti Guixe as part of a touring exhibition called Tapas: Spanish Design for Food, the idea stems from a Catalonian tradition, whereby bread was soaked in wine and sugar to be given to children. Similarly Embedded Drinks infuses edible snacks with spirited alcohol.

A beverage in a biscuit, these snacks are soaked in either Mezcal, Red Wine, Vodka, Gin or Whiskey. By isolating each alcohol the process highlights their unique properties. Uninterrupted by sweetened mixers or conflicting flavours, the alcohol is intensified and lets you – as creator and purist Marti Guixe explains –"evaluate the alcohol more easily".

Whatever your poison, Embedded Drinks is not for the faint hearted. As part of a larger body of work examining food and drink as if they were any other design discipline (think back to Edible Textiles), Guixe elegantly demonstrates that, when presented interestingly, even in the most ordinary of materials can surprise.
