Houston-based bar owner Pasha Morshedi wanted to create a drink that channeled sunshine and a leisurely French lifestyle. Floral St-Germain, grassy rhum agricole, tarragon and an edible flower garnish represent a plant, from stem to leaves to blossom. This drink, he says, “is complex and full of an array of flavors, but is still a bit light and as carefree as a glass of lemonade.”
