Michel Roux | energy-enhancing plants | Gabriel Boudier

Oceans Of Potions

Elisir du Dr. Roux is a relatively new entry in the field. There are 14 different herbs and aromatics in this potion, created by Michel Roux, who himself is a bit of a wizard in the area of spirits marketing. Many of the ingredients are derived from purportedly energy-enhancing plants that are common to the landscape of Provence, some of which are illustrated on the eye-catching bottle.

This stuff is a gorgeous transparent green in color and shockingly full of flavor. Taken straight, it’s definitely an acquired taste, but it works magic in my Green Envy cocktail. Use one part lime juice, one part Elisir du Dr. Roux, and one part dry vermouth. Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
