History:
Adapted from a recipe created by Danny Wilson at Tabouche, Cambridge, England. Danny told us, "Due to me working at Tabouche I tend to like to name drinks around my venue and since this drink is very simplistic, I decided to call it the little mouth in French."
Review:
Dry and refreshing with gentian bitterness and complexity forming the backbone of this apéritif.
