Instructions: To make syrup, bring 1 cup
water to a boil in a saucepan, then stir in 1
cup sugar until dissolved. Remove from heat
and toss in a handful of tarragon sprigs. Allow
to steep for about 15 minutes as the mixture
cools, then strain out leaves.
Once your simple syrup has cooled,
combine all cocktail ingredients together and
stir, then pour in a glass over ice. Garnish with
lemon.
R
eady to gather round ye olde computer
screen and cheer on our U.S. teams
at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian
Games in Normandy this fall? The American In
Paris makes the perfect tipple for the occasion.
This drink is a modification of the famous
French 75, named after a piece of WWI artillery.
It is a punch-packing concoction of Champagne,
gin, simple syrup and lemon. But by substituting
rye whiskey for gin and adding a touch of bitters,
you can achieve a perfect co-mingling of classic
French and American flavors.
Ingredients:
1½ parts Knob Creek rye whiskey
½ part lemon juice
¼ part simple syrup
Top off of brut Champagne
2 dashes aromatic bitters
Orange peel, for garnish
Instructions: Combine whiskey, lemon juice and
simple syrup together in a shaker with ice and mix
well. Strain into coupe or Champagne glass. Top
with Champagne. Add a few dashes of aromatic
bitters. Garnish with orange peel.
