Rouge Gorge: You know you want one.
The place to drink this in Paris is the wonderful Alsatian restaurant “Aux Deux Canards” - try it with the pan fried fois gras.
Rouge Gorge - The recipe:
8 parts Cotes du Rhone, 5 parts good quality gin - Tanqueray or Hendricks, 3 parts Crème de Mure. Mix well, and serve slightly chilled in a brandy glass.
The combination sounds strange, but the perfume of the gin combines with the violet aromas of the Rhone wine and the fruitiness of the Crème de Mure to create an absolutely bewitching - and lethal - cocktail.
