Paris Between The Wars

At first glance, this cocktail from Abigail Gullo—head bartender at New Orleans’ Compere Lapin—seems like an unlikely mix of flavors. Campari and scotch and hard cider? But take a sip, and you’ll realize the ingredients were meant for each other. “Paris Between The Wars is a blend of many different elements,” Gullo says. “Smoke, sour, bitter and crisp, refreshing tartness all come together in perfect harmony.” Whip up a big batch as the welcome drink at your next dinner party or turn it into a punch for a festive fall soirée.
