NYT Cooking

This drink comes from the now-closed Martini House in St. Helena, Calif. It is a blend of Aviation gin, St.-Germain, lemon juice and soda that is refreshing, not too tart or sweet. It was served at the restaurant with a carrot-colored nasturtium lodged between two ice cubes. It’s a lovely presentation for any cocktail hour.
