Frederic Yarm developed the Fleur Carré at Drink in Boston in 2022, after a couple at the bar asked for a floral version of the De La Louisiane. The first attempt doubled the rye and swapped the sweet vermouth for St. Germain, but it came out too sweet and unbalanced. Adding Punt e Mes, which pairs well with elderflower as in the Maximilian Affair, fixed it, and the drink was named Fleur Carré later at home.
