Verveine was a pleasant surprise given to me. I was not quite familiar with this vibrant bottle green liqueur. At first trying to find information or rather cocktail recipes in regards to it was a bit tedious. I searched through the 3 cocktail books I have with no luck.
So we decided to mix a bit with club soda as an aperitif before dinner one evening. The drink had a slight minty taste with a hint of lemon. Although it was refreshing, I thought there must be a Verveine cocktail out there. We turned to the internet and came across this page... Verveine.com which if you can sift through the French it has some lovely cocktails like this one...
