Created at the Speed Rack Season 6 National Finals, where she took first place, Bunni’s Wait For It answered judge Alba Huerta’s call for a low-proof stirred drink with St-Germain. “I immediately thought of the floral sweetness of St-Germain and knew it would work well with a dry sherry,” she says. Keeping in mind not only the taste but the appearance, Bunni added a measure of Salers: “I wanted to add a bitterness, but keep the beautiful pale yellow color.” Finished with an expressed lemon peel, Wait For It makes for a bright aperitif cocktail and a welcome addition to category of session cocktails.
