With most things in life, I'm often inclined to pick classics over others. With macaroons however, there's something fun about reinvention. That said, the bf and I came up with a list of flavors deemed interesting/unusual and will experiment within the next few weeks. If you have any ideas (or hate anything on the lists below) feel free to share them via comments, and they may just be added to the Macarune menu.
My ideas:
3 citrus
Basil lemon
Black and white sesame
Burnt butter
Champagne
Cinnamon sugar
Elderflower
Jasmine white chocolate
Milk
Peppermint (for Christmas)
Pina Colada
Pistachio orange
Pumpkin spice (for Fall)
The bf’s ideas:
Peanut butter
KitKat & Milo (any idea is a good idea)
Snickers
Pandan

How about Salep? Very middle-eastern, very good. It is really expensive, since it is made of ground up orchid root, but the flavor can be imitated with substitutes...

pomegranite
blood orange (yum)
Saffron (have you tried saffron ice cream...almost as good as violet.)
