History

Adapted from a recipe created by Sother Teague for the Sauced podcast to accompany Moules Marinière in an episode released in January 2025. Named "Bouchot" by co-podcaster Tim McKirdy after the French name for the oak posts used in the cultivation of mussels, the key ingredient in a Moules Marinière. These posts are driven vertically into the seabed in intertidal zones, and the mussels naturally attach themselves to ropes wrapped around these posts. As the tide rises and falls, the mussels are regularly exposed to air, which strengthens their shells and reduces infestation by parasites and barnacles.

Yum this makes a lovely White Negroni!

The only thing I like better than a head-to-head of cocktails, or of cocktail ingredients, is a drink/ food pairing. This one works very well.
The Americano bianco smooths the edges off the Suze, but there's still enough bite to counter the cream in the moules marinières sauce. It has the same intensity of flavour as the moules, so sipping it along with the meal works.
