“Bright, refreshing, slightly bitter; these are the hallmarks of a perfect aperitif,” explains Ryan Wainwright. Here, St-Germain forms the backbone of Wainright’s pre-dinner drink, while bitter and citrus elements complement the floral aromatics of the elderflower liqueur. “For me it is all about creating a drink that reminds me of an apothecary’s staff,” explains Wainwright, “The St-Germain being the staff and the rest being the snakes winding around it, bound to it but also creating new intrigue to complement it.”
