A word from the sommelier:
“I was inspired by Jules Verne's novel, "The Green Ray". It focuses on a phenomenon observed at the very end of sunset, which takes the form of a green dot visible for just a few seconds. This cocktail reflects the last burst of late summer, a blessed moment when fruits from the past season mingle with cucurbits from the coming season.
