Happy New Year! This year we’re doing things a little differently. Rather than a too-long list of impossible-to-keep resolutions, we’re trying out something a little more realistic and—dare we say?—more mature: Moderation. The current low-octane trend in cocktails makes it easy to opt for drinks with less liquor in lieu of that drastic (and designed-to-fail) detox.
This month, head to newly opened bar and restaurant Bonhomie. From the team behind Little Red Door, this self-proclaimed “soulful playground for chefs, bartenders and baristas” is the latest place to be in Paris. And though their drinks menu changes regularly, you’ll always find their eponymous cocktail on offer. Made with Suze, it’s a bittersweet aperitif style sip that’s very low in alcohol. If you’re still cocooning post-holidays, it’s a snap to make at home.
Ingredients
- 45ml Suze
- 60ml salted grapefruit juice*
- *Add a very small pinch of salt to freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
Instructions
- Mix Suze and juice together in a tall glass.
- Fill with ice.
- Garnish the glass with black salt.
Address
22 rue d'Enghien, Paris, 75010
LES LOLOS TIP: Don’t feel confined to cocktail hour to get a taste of Bonhomie. They open at 8am and have an extensive coffee program and excellent food menu.
