When creating this wine-based aperitif, Lauren Corriveau of New York’s Nitecap was inspired by her ideal white wine: “It’s dry, crisp, vegetal and refreshing. You could drink a bottomless glass, or be in no rush to finish it at all. And obviously, bubbles make everything better.” Alongside Salers and fennel liqueur, the addition of St-Germain brings out the inherent floral elements of the drink.
