CNA938 Rewind - Eat, Drink, Singapore - Arveau: The Singapore-born aperitif made for tropical drinking
Singapore-born distillery Distillius is rethinking the aperitif for tropical drinking. Its first release, Arveau, brings together calamansi, mandarin, torch ginger, galangal, ginseng, clove and gentian root in a bright, bittersweet drink designed for spritzes, cocktails and warm-weather sipping. Cheryl Goh speaks with Philibert Gandy, Co-Founder and Head Distiller of Distillius to explore what an equatorial aperitif is, how Arveau was built around hospitality, and what it says about the way people are drinking now.
