Born in the Roaring Twenties, the Champs-Élysées cocktail has embodied elegance, flair and joie de vivre since 1925.

To mark its 100th anniversary, the famed Paris avenue’s landmark establishments united by the Champs-Élysées Committee have joined with Hennessy to honour the iconic signature drink.

They are inviting guests to rediscover a cocktail that has accompanied Parisian nights for decades. The flavour of this brandy and chartruese-based sour is akin to a Sidecar, filled with bold, refreshing flavour.

The original recipe—the Cocktail Champs-Élysées 1925—along with two exclusive new creations—the reimagined Cocktail Champs-Élysées 2.0 and the alcohol-free Mocktail Champs-Elysées—will be featured across participating venues and can be recreated at home.
