History

This apéritif has a dry, refreshing character, with gentian bitterness and complexity as its foundation.

Danny Wilson of Tabouche, Cambridge, England, created this adapted recipe. Danny explained his naming choice: "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."
