Among so many choices and possibilities, Baptiste Bochet spoke with Atlantico.fr to select the long drink cocktail of the summer.
Bochet explains that this year the trend is towards light cocktails with relatively low alcohol levels and with fruits and vegetables. For example, the Moscow Mule and the Spritz. Both cocktails are between 9 and 12 degrees of alcohol.
In addition, he stresses that summer cocktails should be refreshing and have pronounced taste without being cloying. As an example, he again proposes the Moscow Mule as the ideal cocktail as a long drink cocktail.
“At first it was a lemonade with ginger alcohol and the vodka was obfuscated by the ginger beer. Ginger beer became the fashionable soda because the industry placed it a bit everywhere. At the Moscow Mule, it is the ginger and its healthy side of ginger beer that gives a “drink me back” taste. Bochet says about the mules cocktails, generally characterized by having ginger beer.
