We originally created this drink to pair with a sushi-inspired raw tuna dish on
our menu. Like the dish, it’s a play between Eastern and Western flavors:
cilantro, ginger, and St. Germain, a liqueur made from elderflowers. The
combination works because the spicy ginger and the clean, herbaceous flavor of
the cilantro help balance the honey-like floral sweetness of the St. Germain.
The cocktail as a whole is light and refreshing—perfect for a warm day. Dan
