by Andy Young

According to Page Six and The Washington Post, everyone’s favourite it girl, Taylor Swift, was spied at Rye restaurant in Leawood, Kansas, on a girls’ night out ordering her alleged new “favourite cocktail”.

Said cocktail, the French Blonde – combination of gin, the French aperitif Lillet, St. Germain elderflower liqueur and grapefruit juice – has gone viral worldwide.

While the drink has reportedly been around since the 1902 – invented by a Parisian bartender, so they say – it first appeared in Saveur magazine in 2011, and is not commonplace on most on-premise cocktail lists.

So now is the perfect moment to add it to yours.
