24 < french > things to put in your mouth in 2024: < les cocktails >

raise a glass to an election year almost everywhere [france proper gets a pass on this one but we still have EU elections] so << it's five o'clock somewhere >> philosophy applies shamelessly.

Chéries,

Putting things into your mouth is a good way to gain perspective. Too many things in your mouth? Time slows down, or stops, depending on the things / quantity. However, it’s 2024 and we are not giving up. Today we discuss our favorite cocktails in Paris. Less a discussion and more of a dictate, I suppose, as dictatorships are kind of a trend.

Mode d’emploi: read, pick a neighborhood, click maps, get a table, order, open mouth, sip in moderation / good health. Eat, drink and be Paris... [it rhymes en Français.]

This < paris : edit > could not come sooner — we have been legit having a cocktail moment here in France. It doesn’t slow down our romance with le vin — the Jesus juice is still « numero un » a paris. But clever mixologists and cozy spots are « au courant ». Even the faux-speakeasy scene is still trundling along despite our fatigue for silly trends. Click through for other neighborhood recs but bind ye not to our decrees on what to order — you do you. (Except for the bar Bisou — they have no menu, you only tell them your mood or give them a keyword. Last time I went my note was, « arrogance » and I was given a rich and heady rum cocktail dusted with gold powder. Pas mal. Your mileage may certainly vary.

Let’s « tchin-tchin » the EDIT : 24 for 2024 » » »
