Review:
Ginseng bitters add bright, fresh, aromatic, aphrodisiac notes while Parfait Amour liqueur literally means "perfect love". But does the alluring sunken garnish turn out to be a sweet consolatory treat?
History:
Vernalagnia (pronounced "ver-nuh-lay-nee-ah), derived from "vernal" (relating to spring) and "agnia" (desire), is a wonderful term for the renewed sense of energy and heightened romantic attraction that emerges with spring's warmer, longer days.
Increased sunlight boosts serotonin and dopamine levels, improves mood and sociability. In nature, spring is a season of growth, fertility, and renewal- human behaviour follows a similar rhythm.
In cocktail culture, this seasonal shift aligns neatly with lighter, brighter serves-fresh citrus, floral notes.
Created by yours truly in March 2026.
