Champs-Élysées

Elegant, herbal, and criminally underrated, the Champs-Élysées is a cognac-based classic that brings French finesse to your glass. Dating back to the early 20th century, it mixes cognac, green Chartreuse, lemon juice, simple syrup, and bitters for a cocktail that’s bright, complex, and beautifully balanced. With its earthy spice, citrus zip, and subtle sweetness, the Champs-Élysées is what happens when a Sidecar and a Last Word have a très chic rendezvous.
