Venice In A Glass, But Drink It In Paris: The Campanile Di San Marco At George V

Let’s take a trip to Venice… or should we say ‘We’ll always have Paris?’ The City of Lights and The Floating City have become one in liquid form thanks to our latest favorite libation, the sublimely layered Campanile Di San Marco.

The Campanile Di San Marco is an elegant and structured cocktail, complex in nature, but sublimely delicate. There’s a richness thanks to its base of The Dalmore 15 — of which also happens to be a supporting partner of the British Pavilion at the Biennale — which is lifted by the brightness of verjus and cranberry, while the whey syrup adds a silky mouthfeel and gentle sweetness. The subtle hint of absinthe introduces a delicate herbal note, and the soda brings balance and effervescence, a refreshing yet refined expression designed to echo the timeless charm of Venice.
