Flower Power

| Drew Limsky

Bacardi knows a good thing when it comes along. Though St-Germain, which is fashioned from fresh, handpicked elderflowers, carries a French, old-world aura, this liqueur has been around since only 2007.

Created by Cooper Spirits, the company was sold to Bacardi in 2013, and St-Germain remains a favorite of Miami bartenders for its floral intensity. With just a dash, you can instantly elevate and invigorate cocktails with the liqueur’s tropical flavor notes, and it works well with a wide variety of cocktails and spirits—especially the following concoctions.

Astra to the Moon

Created at the Astra in Miami, this shaken refresher is the perfect mix of Grey Goose vodka, St-Germain, lemon juice, lychee juice and Soho liqueur.

Spring in Osaka

A play on a Japanese highball, this cocktail, served at Miami Beach’s Mila, relies on a secret mix of Toki, soda, lychee juice and cardamom.

El Jaguar

Crafted especially for Casa Faena, this deep emerald cocktail entices with El Tosoro Blanco Tequila, St-Germain, a few drops of liquid chlorophyll, lime juice, chile and green chartreuse.

Lychee Crisp

Midtown’s Sugarcane is the spot to enjoy this beverage made from Pisco Caravedo Acholada, strawberry puree, simple syrup, lemon juice and St-Germain.

The Garden Rose

Go for a little sparkle and celebration with Champagne, tequila, rose essence and St-Germain.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
