The Self-Starter Cocktail is tiny in proportions, as it doesn’t need much to give you the push for an excellent drink. Full of French influence, from the Lillet Blanc to Abinsinthe, Apricot Brandy, and a bit of British gin to round it out.
A light spring or summertime cocktail, refreshing and easy to sip as you bask in the sun.
Enjoy it alongside some French appetizers.
The ingredients are full of French influence, with the gin being the only ingredient not originating from France.
Light citrus tones, where the absinthe brings balance without overpowering the rest of the ingredients, as they all pair nicely together.
If you haven’t tried Lillet blanc, it is like a sweet white wine which comes through the most out of all ingredients.
I see this as an excellent cocktail to have at a picnic.
