Class Up Your Next Happy Hour With This French-Italian Cocktail
Although the name may sound intimidating, you don't need to be a bartender to impress your friends. Ezra Star's recipe in How to Drink French Fluently ($12) boasts a short, simple list of ingredients, the star of which is St-Germain, a French bar staple.

From How to Drink French Fluently: A Guide to Joie de Vivre with St-Germain Cocktails by Drew Lazor
Notes
Ezra Star found inspiration in the food encountered along the Italian and French border, where the cuisine does not belong wholly to either culture. Here, Italian artichoke amaro, Cynar, joins forces with St-Germain in a nod to the border zone where elderflower grows freely.

1 ounce St-Germain
3/4 ounce Cynar
1 dash Angostura bitters
