L’Embrassadeur

David Lebovitz’s L’Embrassadeur cocktail (the name is a saucy mash-up of the word Ambassadeur and Embrassades or “hugs and kisses”) showcases the French peach-based aperitif RinQuinQuin — what Lillet is to orange, RinQuinQuin is to peach and pairs it beautifully with pink grapefruit and lavender. The lavender bitters we have are laced with CBD, having this cocktail at our house is a très relaxé affair, perfectly in tune with the times.

  • Yields: Makes 1 Cocktail

Ingredients

2½ ounces RinQuinQuin

1½ ounces gin

3 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice

½ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice

1 to 2 dashes lavender bitters

sprig of fresh lavender or rosemary, for garnish

Directions

1Add RinQuinQuin, gin, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and lavender bitters to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with the lavender.
