Cocktails have become a very big part of the dining scene in NYC. Many restaurants now have a long list of cocktails and even have the same cocktail in many different versions. Recently I was invited by Pegasus Distillerie to taste three cocktails at the Apotheke Nomad in NYC.
“Grounded firmly in terroir, at Pegasus we draw inspiration from the starry sky,” is the motto of Pegasus Distillerie.
Pegasus Distillerie is a premium spirits brand based in Meursault, France. The Distillery was founded in 2021 by Master Distiller Maxime Girardin, whose winemaking heritage spans three generations.
Eau d’Or Liqueur is a blend of flavorful ingredients such as oranges, lemons, and orange blossoms.
Orion Gin is made from the fusion between five carefully selected botanicals distilled separately for a precise and refined creation.
Pegasus Vodka has a distinctive smoothness and freshness. It is a blend of high quality ingredients from France made with cutting edge distillation technologies.
