Bouquet de Bulles

Amy Racine | New York City

Amy Racine, beverage director at La Marchande, constructed the Bouquet de Bulles from the bones of a French 75 and the flavor of a boozy Arnold Palmer. The classic tea-and-lemon pairing is made even more bright and refreshing with the topper of sparkling wine.
