Captivate Cooking: Oscar drinks: 'JULIE and JULIA'

Oscar drinks: 'JULIE and JULIA'

By the Associated Press

This drink is named Vin Amer Fizz in tribute to Julia Child and her legacy of bringing classic French dishes to American households. Vin is French for wine; amer means bitter, and fizz stands for good times.

"Julie & Julia" follows the parallel stories of Child, working on her cookbook "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" during the post-war years, and Julie Powell, a modern young woman who shakes up her life by making the recipes.

In true artisan fashion, mixologist Jackson Cannon starts with house-made rose vermouth. But for us American servantless cooks, a store brand works just fine.

Vin Amer Fizz

Start to finish: 5 minutes
Servings: 1

2 ounces rose vermouth

1 ounce apricot brandy

1/2 ounce lemon juice

1 egg white (or an equivalent amount of pasteurized egg white product, depending on preference)

Champagne

In a cocktail shaker, combine the vermouth, apricot brandy, lemon juice and egg white. Shake well to emulsify. Add ice, then shake again to chill. Strain into a coupe or martini glass. Top with Champagne.

(Recipe from Jackson Cannon of Eastern Standard Kitchen & Drinks in Boston)
