The Lily cocktail is an elegant balance of sweet, citrus, and herbaceous flavors. Refreshing and light, its bourbon base is complimented by bitter-sweet Aperol and floral St-Germain liqueur. These three distinguishing flavors are bold on their own but dance seamlessly together when ultimately rounded out by mint, lemon juice, and a little sugar.
It’s an innovative creation by Istvan Galyas of Harry’s Bar, New York, the famed steak house that has been a Wall Street institution since 1972. The Lily was named for a curious patron who after one sip immediately recognized the cocktail’s potential. It’s a scintillating new concoction by Galyas that has all the quality and singularity of becoming a modern classic.
