French Redhead

Everyone has been talking about Taylor Swift’s favorite cocktail, the French Blonde. It’s a solid cocktail and approachable for even the most casual gin drinker. Me being me, I decided to give this popular drink a bit of a twist. As a redhead, I changed out the dry gin for Empress Elderflower Rose and the Lillet Blanc for Lillet Rose. The result is much more to my liking; sweet, tart, floral, and bright. Loving this was red. Burning, it was red. Cheers!
