Whether hosting friends and family, or heading out for games of pétanque, stocking up on French spirits is a must! Adding classics like D’USSE Cognac, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, and Grey Goose Vodka to your cocktail line-up, will elevate the mood & menu, and help you celebrate the French way.
For an eye-catching centerpiece, consider pre-batching a D’USSE Fleur de Vie for a floral-forward cocktail bringing together sweet notes of elderflower, richness from cognac, and a splash of fresh champagne bubbles. To satisfy those whose taste buds favor something sweet, St-Germain’s Parisian Daiquiri is a perfect French twist on a classic cocktail. Grey Goose’s Paris to Pampelonne captures the slightly savory side of cocktails with a combination of Grey Goose vodka, St-Germain, lemon juice and a splash of extra virgin olive oil. These are just a few of an array of French cocktail recipes you’ll find below that are perfect to craft in the spirit of independence and ‘joie de vivre’ – French for ‘enjoyment of life.’
