Bonsoir,
je suis toujours dans mes cocktails et ce terme me pose problème car j'ai aussi les termes "sour" et "tangy". Peut-on les utiliser comme synonymes ?
Sharp signifie-il plutôt "relevé", "intense" ?
"The mixture of lemon, orange and pineapple makes this cocktail creation a sharp yet fruity taste sensation."
"This bitter and sharp whiskey-based cocktail has a refreshing taste of fruity cranberry, lime juice and peppermint syrup."
"Its sharp sour citrus taste helps the Scotch whisky reach new heights."
Merci de votre aide !

: Not really 'relevé'; and I don't honestly think 'soutenu' correctly describes this characteristic either.

acidulé
'sharp' usually implies an element of acidity, such as lemon juice. I think 'acidulé' would be more appropriate to describe a taste than 'acide' here.

--------------------------------------------------
'sour' and 'tangy' also suggest elements of acidity, I am unaware of the existence of diffeent terms in FR to distinguish between these.
An unripe apple might be desrcibed as 'sour' or 'sharp' (sour having a more negative connotation), while 'tangy' would be more likely to apply to something more citrus, for example (and almost invariably has a positive connotation).
--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
Note that R+C suggests 'piquant' as a ositive quality, and âpre or âcre with a perjorative connotation; it likewise suggests 'piquant' for 'tangy', bringing you back to your original problem!

For a wine, 'sharp' would suggest that it has almost reached the point of 'piquer'. 'tart' is another related word, again, all revolving around the idea of acidity, and again, with the suggestion from R+C of 'acide', 'acidulé'.
