I'm a sucker for spa water with fresh cucumber, so I had high hopes for the Le Moné Meyer Lemon Apéritif With Cucumber ($35) — and it did not disappoint. Mellow cucumber pairs beautifully with Meyer lemon, giving the aperitif a slight savoriness that adds even more complexity to the flavor.
I'd be happy sipping this flavor on ice or topped with soda water, but it really shines when stirred together with tequila and soda water for a twist on ranch water. Because both Le Moné and tequila are made with agave, the flavors really meld together, creating a cocktail with a gorgeously smooth finish.
All in all, I'm happy to have all three of the flavors in the Le Moné Le Summer Pack ($90, originally $105) stocked in my home bar. I can already picture myself sipping a spritz at a picnic in the park, making margaritas with friends on a hot afternoon, or even experimenting with new cocktail recipes. With an aperitif this versatile, I've got options.
