French Cocktail Recipes

In the United States, the weather has been either hot or raging… or both. That definitely calls for refreshment. If you plan on drinking alcohol in this heat, be careful and do so responsibly. Too many sidecars in the sun isn’t a new cocktail, it’s a recipe for a trip to the ER. That said, in moderation these French cocktail recipes are the embodiment of relaxation. For a summer evening party bring one of these bottles of bubbly as a hostess gift. If you’re the type who believes that good things come to those who wait, try making your own wine, even if it is for breezy evenings next summer! For the rest of us, I present a selection of traditional French cocktail recipes. Bon appetit!
