My Cocktails

NEGRONI

Florentine in heritage. Named after an Italian count who was a frequent visitor to the Café Casoni and was accustomed to drinking his Americano there.

In memory of trips to London, he asked the barman to add an extra measure of gin. The Negroni was born and has enjoyed global popularity ever since.

I pay tribute to this iconic drink which charmed the Florentine aristocracy a hundred years earlier. From its love for nature, it adds a personal touch through unique aromatic plants with bitter, refreshing and scented notes.

The secret of its freshness is at the heart of French gin, in fennel seeds, caraway, dill and angelica. In discreetly bitter orange which melts into the dry vermouth.

MAI TAI

Baptised in California. When Trader Vic, a figure of tiki culture, offered his two friends from Tahiti a cocktail using several Caribbean rums, refreshed with lime and almond flavours, the “Mai tai roa ae”, the “best in the world”, was born.

Le BARTELEUR leverages the exotic feel of this cocktail that became all the rage when sipped by Elvis Presley in the movie Blue Hawaii. This flavour specialist boosts the tart freshness of lime with the original taste of yuzu, opening up the palette of citrus with flavours of yellow grapefruit and mandarin.

An exotic voyage with its kumquat and yuzu, together with a golden and vanilla color similar to its dark rum. A fresh and solar pleasure between the acidity of the verjus and the spiced warmth of the rum.

MANHATTAN

Created for a lady. Prepared during a banquet given by the mother of Winston Churchill at the Manhattan Club. A barman whose name has been forgotten created one of the most appreciated cocktails in New York’s high society.

A sophisticated preparation, difficult to create due to the complex mixture of ingredients, it remains one of the greats of the golden age of cocktails.

I pay tribute to this absolute classic that sophisticated and learned men drank from New York to Boston. By the dexterity and skill of sleight of hand, the ingredients are mixed artfully. Rye whisky, red vermouth and our own bitters.

The composition’s special feature is a rye whisky with vanilla and honey notes, blended with a red wine bursting with fruits such as raspberry, strawberry and sour cherry. A bouquet of spices prolongs the sensory experience.

HANKY PANKY

Invented on a London night. During the roaring twenties, Ada Coleman, head bartender at the Savoy Hotel, created an iconic cocktail which became an absolute reference for her peers.

The cocktail was created for the actor Charles Hawtrey, who loved it. Hanky Panky was created and made to enchant.

I pay tribute to the legendary beverage that captivated Edwardian England before crossing the pond. Who better than a creative expert of magic tricks to give a twist to this intriguing “potion”, giving it a herbaceous and peppery kick?

A wondrous elixir form aromatic gin, blending the freshness of the lemon, mint and liquorice and the sensuality of its ginger. Sandalwood and benzoin will perfume your palate.
