Bestselling cookbook author, memoirist, and popular blogger David Lebovitz delves into the drinking culture of France in Drinking French. This beautifully photographed collection features 160 recipes for everything from coffee, hot chocolate, and tea to aperitifs such as Kir and Lillet, classic and modern cocktails from the hottest Paris bars, and creative infusions using fresh fruit and French liqueurs. And because the French can't imagine drinking without having something to eat alongside, David includes crispy, salty snacks to serve with your concoctions. Each recipe is accompanied by David's witty and informative stories about the ins and outs of life in France, as well as photographs taken on location in Paris and beyond. Whether you have a trip to France booked and want to know what and where to drink, or just want to infuse your next get-together with a little French flair, this rich and revealing guide will make you the toast of the town.

Some of the drinks described herein will be familiar to most people. Some are interesting french variations on drinks you may have already enjoyed. And some will be totally new to you, either because the ingredients are difficult to source outside of France or because Lebovitz is being especially inventive. There is a nice range of things which you will feel comfortable to try right away or plan ahead to try. And some will be drinks or dishes which you’ll never want to try yourself but which are still lovely to read about and enjoy vicariously.
But more than that, this book has me longing to return to Paris and other locales in France. Surely that will be one of our first destinations after this long siege of social distancing is finally and safely over. For now, a fine book like this one will just make dreaming that much easier.
