“Avèze has a great weight to it,” says Toby Maloney of the gentian root-based liqueur. “It’s round and unctuous and brings gravity and heft to cocktails.” Here, he uses it in a simple, stirred combination of gin, Dolin Blanc and a dash of Peychaud’s bitters. “[Avèze] is a wonderful foil for the botanicals in gin,” he explains.
