The hallmarks of the aperitif are the driving forces behind the Lysette, a three-ingredient cocktail as relevant for the home bartender as it is for the pro. “After all,” explains bartender Franky Marshall, “the less time you spend making drinks, the more time you have to enjoy good company.” In a nod to the aperitif’s origins, the components are all French—from the gentle bitterness of Salers to the light, floral notes of St-Germain to the fizzy smack of Kronenbourg.
