Editorial Reviews

Review

“In the canon of drinking, there has been a conspicuous absence of information about how the French, undisputed masters of all things gastronomique, imbibe at home and in that hallowed social space, the café. David Lebovitz is certainly the most qualified person I can think of to write this book, and he does so with deft precision. I knew this book was written with someone like me in mind—equal parts Francophile, food, and beverage enthusiast—when I opened to the very first recipe in the book, my beloved morning ritual: the café au lait.”—Jeffrey Morgenthaler, author of Drinking Distilled

“I can think of no one I'd rather meet for a drink than David Lebovitz. In his authoritative yet always approachable style, Lebovitz expertly guides us through the often-unspoken rituals, customs, and traditions of properly drinking French—whether it's a morning café au lait, a mid-afternoon Picon bière, or a late-night Boulevardier. Lebovitz uses his years of experience as a baker and pastry chef to apply his keen understanding of ratios, formulas, and balancing flavor to seamlessly shift from the sweet life to the spirited life, with inventive recipes for café drinks, liqueurs, aperitifs, cocktails, and irresistible apéro snacks to accompany them.”—Brad Thomas Parsons, author of Bitters, Amaro, and Last Call

“Anyone who has had the privilege of visiting Paris would certainly concur with David Lebovitz’s observation that ‘There is no shortage of rules in France; they even extend to beverages’. Thankfully, we Francophiles have this seasoned expat to conduct us through the idiosyncrasies of café culture. This handy recipe and resource guide doubles as the modern French handbook for cocktail party hosts.”—Jim Meehan, author of Meehan’s Bartender Manual and The PDT Cocktail Book

“In France, drinking is more than a national sport . . . it’s an art! From our petit noir (coffee) and teas to classic apéritifs and cocktails, no cup or glass is spared from the curious and amused gaze of David Lebovitz. As an acute connoisseur of French gastronomy, his tasty collection of recipes and social observations can be imbibed in one shot—Santé!”—Francois-Regis Gaudry, author of Let’s Eat France!

“Do you dream about moving to Paris and spending long, leisurely afternoons in cafés (hopefully with company as lively as David Lebovitz) sipping un café noisette and, later, an apéritif? Me too. This is the exact dreamy book we need to hold us over until that day arrives.”—Deb Perelman, author of Smitten Kitchen Every Day

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

On the darkened streets and sidewalks of France, the flicker of lights in corner cafés signals the start of the day. Whether you’re in a city like Paris, Lyon, or Marseille, or a village in the countryside, once the lights are on, the next order of business is to flip the switch on the coffee machine. With that simple action, the day begins.

While the machine is warming up, the beige ceiling lights cast a warm glow on wicker chairs stacked one on top of the other, along with the café tables, waiting to be set up on the sidewalk outside. Baguettes picked up at the local bakery on the way to work are propped up against the bar in a paper sack, and will eventually be sliced for breakfast tartines, served with butter and jam. But first things first: coffee.

Le barman (or woman) releases a sputtering blast of steam from the milk-warming wand, an indication that the machine is ready to go, as people start to wander in. In the wintertime, the warmth is definitely part of the attraction, as are the free morning newspapers on wooden spindles. But any time of the year, locals gather at their neighborhood bar to stand and drink a short, dark café express while reading the paper or catching up on commérages (gossip) in the neighborhood. Most of the customers have just woken up. Others are heading home after a long night of work—or play. But it doesn’t matter: There are no judgments in a French café; everyone is welcome to gather there, whether you spent the night sweeping the streets (or working the streets), are on your way to a business meeting, or are a timid tourist, hoping to get your first taste of France.

I fell into the latter category. On my first visit to Paris, zonked after the long flight from California, I walked into a nearby café and ordered a coffee at the counter. After the barman strong-armed the filter holder into place, he hit the switch and the espresso machine dribbled a trickle of murky dark liquid into a cup placed underneath the spout. When the flow of coffee stopped, he slid the cup and saucer toward me. I dutifully picked up my coffee, walked over to a table, and sat down to drink it. Within seconds the barman barked something at me that I didn’t understand (with my nonexistent comprehension of French, and French café customs), but eventually I deduced that I’d made a grave error by taking my coffee from the bar to a table, where the price of a cup doubles. I slunk back to the bar, embarrassed by my gaffe, finished my coffee, and left. That was my first lesson in how to drink, and behave, in a French café.

There seems to be a code of conduct for everything in France, from the salle d’attente of the doctor’s office, where you’re expected to greet each and every person in the waiting room when you walk in, to not calling a café waiter garçon (boy), which is a mild insult. One should say monsieur, because everyone is égal in France, and service here is about serving you, not being at your service. (You can thank the French Revolution for this mind-set, or blame it, if you’ve ever had a less-than-optimal customer service experience in the country.)

Later that afternoon, refreshed from a nap, I decided to go for a walk and take in the city. I had finally made it to Paris, the place I’d always dreamed of visiting, and didn’t want to spend my first day snoozing on the so-small-my-feet-were-hanging-over-the-edge bed in my hotel room. (Were French people really that tiny?) After meandering around for a while, stopping to admire the window of each and every chocolate and pastry shop I passed (there were so many of them—it was paradise!), I decided to try my luck again at a café. Being a sunny afternoon, I chose one where people were sitting at tables outside. And this time, I knew enough not to get my coffee at the bar first, and bring it to the table.

Still reluctant with my faltering French, I wove myself between the closely packed tables to squeeze into the only available seat I had spotted on the terrace. I did my best not to bump into or jostle anyone (after all I’d heard about Parisians before my visit, I was afraid to incur any wrath). I did, however, know how to say pardon. When I grazed someone and uttered a nervous “Uh, pardon,” no one looked at me or paid any attention. They kept on chatting with friends, reading their newspapers, or staring off into the distance, looking at nothing in particular with a cigarette smoldering in the ashtray.

Once seated, my anxiety climbed when I saw there was no menu or list of drinks on the table. Nothing I could point to and say, “I’ll have that.” I had no choice but to ask for my drink in French. Café was one French word that I found easy to master, but there’s only so much coffee you can drink in a day, and I was ready for something more relaxing. Fortunately, I spotted a blackboard on the wall that listed wines available either by the verre or by the pot, at prices that seemed too good to be true (three dollars for a glass of wine?!), and it seemed only right that I order one. I didn’t think I could drink a whole pot of wine by myself—and later learned that a pot is a refillable bottle with an extra-thick bottom so it doesn’t tip over—but I wouldn’t have a problem with une verre. Or was that un verre? My worries were mounting. I finalized the order in my mind, with a little help from my guidebook, and memorized the phrase in advance: “Je voudrais un verre du vin rouge, s’il vous plaît," so I’d be ready.

When the waiter finally came to take my order, I was suddenly on the spot and completely blanked on my plan of action. Flustered, I stammered and stuck with my usual “ . . . uh . . . um . . . un café," barely remembering to add a “monsieur” to the end of my less-carefully crafted phrase. A minute later he placed the little cup of coffee in front of me with two paper tubes of sugar resting on the saucer, as well as a separate burgundy-colored plastic dish with a built-in clip on it, holding l’addition (the check). I was no stranger to strong coffee, but after my first few cups in France, I understood why everyone added all that sugar. I ripped off the end of one of the sugar tubes and dumped it in. Then I added the second, and sat back to watch the world go by.

I often refer to cafés as the living rooms of Paris. Historically, artists and writers used their local café as a place to work, attracted by the heat they didn’t have at home in the winter. They also benefited from the alcohol being served, which most writers deem a necessity after laboring over words all day. (Hence, entire chapters devoted to apéritifs, infusions, and cocktails in this book.) Cafés are also places to meet friends, especially in cities, since many people live in apartments that are too small to host guests, or they don’t want to go through the bother of tidying up. (With clothes dryers not very common in France, there are invariably a few unmentionables hanging in your apartment to dry, that you don’t necessarily want everyone else to see.) Also, who wants to stay at home when you can sit on an open-air terrace and have whatever kind of drink you want, served by a dashing Frenchman? Not me.

I’ve come to love the café culture in France, and the drinks and customs that are part of the rhythm of daily life. The wines, beers, coffees, infusions, apéritifs, liqueurs, distillations, cocktails, and digestives also tell the story of France. If you want to understand the French, watch how they eat, and see what they drink. After being in France for almost two decades, I’m no longer wary of cafés. And, like the French, I can be found in a café at all hours of the day, to meet friends, to write, or to conduct a little business (but nothing too serious). Once you’re seated at a table, it’s yours until you’re ready to leave. I used to wonder how people could sit in one place and do nothing for hours, as the French do. But after just a few years of living in France, I learned how to just be, too.

You can re-create the feeling and flavors of a French café at home, no matter where you live. I can’t prove this, but to me, French drinks taste better in traditional coffee cups and cocktail glasses. Over the years, I’ve amassed quite a collection of tableware and glasses by scouring flea markets and thrift stores. Most of my café au lait bowls and vintage glasses had stood up to decades of use before I got them, and I plan to use them for many more years to come.

I often host weekend "cocktails by the firepit" gatherings for friends and this book has been great! So many unique drinks to try! The book has answered so many questions about drinks I've seen in France but never quite understood. Now I can make them at home! I also love David's writing style...he has written great narratives about almost every drink in this book and it's very entertaining to read while deciding which drink I'll make next.

A well researched, insider's look at the Paris cocktail scene both of long ago and now. David's wonderful new book highlights many classics of Paris' Bistrot while introducing readers to innovative newcomers as well. You'll be drinking Kir Royals and cooking up Elderflower Cordial's in no time! Not to mention, making lists of bars to visit and bottles to purchase on your next Paris trip. There's also some non-alcohol drinks and a whole chapter dedicated to snacks to keep your appetite satiated while you flex some cocktail shaking muscles. Be sure to watch him on Instagram Live (also some archived to his feed) too where you can see him make several recipes from the book and meet some of the professional bartenders and producers featured as well. It's been a life saver during these long days at home! Really looking forward to my next trip to Paris!

The ONLY Drinks Book You Will Ever Need

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have been a fan of David Libowitz for years and a subscriber to his blog since the beginning. So I was disposed to like this book. But I was really delighted w/ Drinking French for one simple reason, I don't need to go to the liquor store and stock up on esoteric bottles of things I find I don't like and will never use. Of course, there are the basics one must have. But the author has suggestions about alternatives for things that simply may not be available everywhere or sources for mail order. And there are things you can make at home to use in drinks. So there is a lot of flexibility. The range of offerings is so great that even the pickiest person should be able to find a new favourite. But the selection of drinks nibbles is simply wonderful. You will be able to offer a wonderful selection of things to accompany drinks. I am so glad I pre-ordered this book. It is the first drinks book I feel I will truly use. Don't be put off by the French in the title. These drinks cross borders.

Curious Epicure

The most delightful cocktail book I've ever read

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

Did I really need another cocktail book? No. And perhaps you don't either, but if you like cocktails or even just the idea of cocktails, then this book is an absolute must-have, imo.

I decided to go ahead and buy it for two reasons:
- it was written by one of my favorite food writers, and
- it was so reasonably priced that I thought it was worth the gamble.
Good decision, because I ended up with one of the most delightful books I've ever purchased, not just on drink, but on any subject. The book is quite a lot heftier than I expected, the photos are wonderful, and the gold spine was not only an attractive surprise, but it makes finding this book on the shelf that much easier ;-)

The first thing I did was to try one of the food recipes. I had guests coming who really know and love food, so I chose to make:
-- Baked Camembert with Walnuts, Figs and Whiskey Gastrique. Oh my, oh my, oh my! I've used many baked brie recipes, but this one put all others to shame. My only regret was not having made two of them since they were so quickly devoured, with raves from everyone.
-- Cornichon Tapenade Deviled Eggs. If you love deviled eggs that have a bite of good pickle in them, this is the new one to try. I can't wait to make this again.
The recipes in the food section are not numerous, but they are all such perfect accompaniments to drinks that I really don't need more, especially when they are they likes of rillette, terrine, gougere, and more, none of which look too daunting to a home cook like me.

Then on to the cocktails. I never realized that many of my favorite cocktails were French in origin, although I might have guessed. Even my beloved Negroni! which Lebovitz does not hesitate to point out may actually be French in origin.

A good part of the charm of this book is all of the information that's packed into it - the customs, traditions, and history in particular. The difficult part of this book is deciding which cocktail to make! The names alone are so much fun to read - Revised Obituary, My Tailor Is Rich, Scofflaw, Seat of Your Pants, etc - that it's hard to pick one, even if you've managed to narrow things down by preferred spirit. Suffice it to say that if all of the cocktails are as delicious as the French 75 I made, and I expect they are, then I'm in trouble.

But there's more.
I have long been wanting to do two things at home:
- make my own vermouth (if you have ever ventured into vermouth territory beyond the best-known brands, you know how amazing vermouth can be on its own, on ice with only a fat twist of orange peel), and
- make elderberry anything.
Lebovitz obliges with recipes for Vermouth Maison, Elderflower Wine, and an Elderflower Cordial. I will update after I tackle these.

Some ingredients are harder to find than others and there are a number of them that I know I will have to get online. But there are enough recipes to make with things that are easy enough to find to make this book more than worthwhile.

A wonderful exploration of French drinks culture, from the familiar café au lait to the classic apéritifs to new takes on traditional cocktails. We’ve spent hours with book, mixing drinks that are always well-balanced and satisfying. David makes a point to offer several recipes for new ingredients that he introduces, so when you finally track down that bottle of Suze, you make good use of it. And in France you really don’t drink without having a bite to eat. And David doesn’t disappoint. Gougères, pâté, and œufs oh my! This book has been a reminder that small pleasures matter. Thank you for helping us weather this insane time David!
