Drinks Digest discovered the “New York Happy Meal” this week and we’re obsessed.
This adult-oriented, upscale “happy meal” consists of a martini and a side of fries. No one knows seems to know who invented it, but the combo was born in New York and has soared in popularity, appearing on the menus of cocktail bars and restaurants across the city.
TikTok and other social media have brought the combination to a wider audience and its taken off globally, with Bacardi preparing to take the concept one step further at a ‘Grey Goose Chip Shop’ in London during December.
The late night dining and martini cocktail pop-up experience will bring together perfectly chilled Gray Goose martini cocktails and indulgent French fries from 4-5th December in Greek Street, Soho.

Check out the delicious menu below:
- Classic Martini Cocktail & Frites: An exquisite pairing for a serving of fluffy golden frites is the world’s most personal cocktail: the GREY GOOSE martini cocktail, served crisp, cold and not too dry.
- Dirty Martini Cocktail: A distinctively indulgent French take on a much-loved savoury classic – infusing truffle oil alongside olive brine and served with a trio of Perello olives.
- Goose Gibson: A crisp, savory martini cocktail that elevates the classic Gibson garnish with a balsamic-infused onion.
- Tartar-tini: A refined, culinary martini cocktail capturing the essence of the classic chip shop condiment – tart lemon, fresh dill, and capers. Finished with a salty samphire garnish.
- Espresso Martini Cocktail: The ultimate crowd pleaser and late-night indulgence – GREY GOOSE Original Vodka blended flawlessly with rich single origin coffee and touch of sea salt.
- Bloody Mary Side Sip: What better accompaniment to have with frites than a sip of the GREY GOOSE Bloody Mary – with rich tomato, spice, and cracked pepper.
The fries will come with indulgent toppings such as Coq au vin, gruyère & smoked ham or truffle. Get this concept to Australia, stat!
Lexa Ulijaszek, UK Ambassador for Grey Goose said: “The martini cocktail isn’t just having a moment – it is the moment. Its popularity continues to grow, with Grey Goose inspiring new ways to enjoy this classic cocktail.
“The Grey Goose Chip Shop celebrates the timelessness of the martini cocktail, and the joy and innovation of London night life by pairing Grey Goose martini cocktails and the beloved British chippy for a chic, unexpected late-night experience that invites guests to linger and savour the evening.”
