The Last Tango in Modena
This is the drink that I am most proud of because it was the first drink I made that broke the general rule of using spirit, sugar, and citrus. I knew I wanted St-Germain to be the first foam I ever made and the great bartender Vincenzo Marianella instructed me on how to create it. And what is great about using an aged balsamic vinegar is that it carries both the citrus and sweet components needed for the cocktail.
