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.
