Antibes

The Antibes cocktail is a refreshing and aromatic drink that combines the robust flavors of gin with the herbal sweetness of Bénédictine liqueur and the bright, tangy notes of grapefruit juice. The result is a well-balanced cocktail that offers a complex interplay of botanical and citrus flavors, making it both invigorating and sophisticated. The gin serves as a sturdy base, while the Bénédictine adds layers of herbal and honeyed sweetness, and the grapefruit juice provides a zesty, slightly bitter counterpoint.

The origins of the Antibes cocktail are not well documented, but it is named after the picturesque town of Antibes on the French Riviera, known for its stunning coastline and vibrant cultural scene. This connection to the south of France is fitting, as the cocktail embodies a sense of Mediterranean charm and elegance. Whether enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif or a delightful evening drink, the Antibes captures the essence of leisurely sophistication associated with its namesake locale.
