What is Champs Elysees?

A toast to timeless elegance - the Champs-Élysées Cocktail is a French classic that balances the richness of cognac with the bright lift of lemon and the herbal intrigue of Chartreuse. First appearing in the 1930s, this drink embodies Parisian sophistication: smooth, citrusy, and just complex enough to intrigue the palate without overwhelming it.

Served in a chilled coupe, it’s a golden-hued masterpiece that bridges the old world and the new - perfect for those who appreciate cocktails with history, harmony, and charm.
