Lillet St-Germain Cocktail
“The Lillet St-Germain is inspired by a cocktail my former bartender would make me right before service when I was the pastry chef at Foodlab, the Société des Arts et Technologies (SAT) restaurant in Montreal. It’s light, refreshing and not too boozy— basically the perfect aperitif. ” — Michelle Marek, chef and Ricardo magazine collaborator
