It is the week for French cocktails (at least those with French-sounding names).
After our cocktail, I grilled a flank steak and Olga cooked brussels sprouts and garnished them with pancetta and parmesan cheese. The pancetta and parmesan were good, but ...the brussels sprouts? Biscotti for desert, it was good.
The cocktail preceding all of this was a 'Champs Élysées Cocktail' (page no. 59 from the Bartender's Guide):
1 oz Brandy (St. Remy)
1/2 oz Chartreuse (Yellow)
Juice of 1/4 lemon (1/2 oz. of Meyer Lemon juice)
1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar
1 dash bitters
Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass.
At first sip Olga didn't care too much for this cocktail, but she said it got better. I don't think she cares for the bitters added to drinks. I liked it. It had a really good flavor.
Cheers.
