The Self Starter is bright, floral, and subtly complex, with gin’s botanical crispness forming the base while Lillet Blanc adds soft, honeyed citrus notes. Apricot liqueur contributes gentle stone-fruit sweetness, and a few dashes of absinthe lend a whisper of aniseed and herbal depth. The result is a pale, elegant cocktail that’s smooth, layered, and lightly aromatic.
