Thirty years before the Eiffel Tower welcomed Parisians to the 1899 World's Fair, over 700 bottles of sherry were opened each and every day to make Cobblers at the 1867 Exposition Universelle's American Pavilion. But it wasn't until the cocktail's French champion, Louis Fouquet of The Criterion, published Bariana: A Practical Compendium of All American and British Drinks, that the Golden Age of French mixed drinks truly began. Award-winning French mixologist Charles Vexenat joins historians Anistatia Miller and Jared Brown to share the secrets of French cocktails as seen through the eyes of Louis Fouquet.
