June 18-Champs-Elysees

When you are named after a French avenue, you know that this cocktail is going to be French as ever. This cocktail is just that. This cocktail features Green Chartreuse and cognac. The only thing that would make it more French would be a croissant served on the side. This cocktail also features angostura bitters which doesn’t seem too French as they are more island driven flavoured, but then you realize that the island in question is a main trade partner with France.

This cocktail was featured in Nina Toye and Arthur Adair’s 1925b work Drinks Long and Short.
