Francophile Cocktail Recipe

Francophile-Cocktail-Recipe The Bottle Club

The Francophile cocktail drink features the French brandy Calvados, plus Rioja wine, cinnamon simple syrup, fresh lemon juice and water. Calvados gives the drink a rich backbone of apple and oak that merges seamlessly with the red Spanish wine and its hallmark notes of dark berries, plums and herbs. If you can’t find Rioja, aim for a medium-to-full-bodied wine with plenty of tannins and some acidity to stay on track. Avoid anything too light, as it will get lost in the drink.
