The Gatsby

If Gatsby's parties had a signature drink, this would be it. The Gatsby brings together cognac and champagne with Lillet Blanc and crème de pêche, two French aperitifs that were staples of 1920s cocktail culture. It's fizzy, sophisticated, and tastes like old money. The cognac gives you that warm, barrel-aged backbone, while the Lillet adds honeyed citrus notes that play beautifully with fresh lemon juice. Crème de pêche brings soft peach sweetness without turning the whole thing into a dessert, and the champagne topper makes it sparkle. The result is bright and fruity but grounded enough to sip slowly, with floral undertones that linger after each sip. This is your celebratory cocktail for when you want to feel fancy without trying too hard. Serve it at a dinner party, toast to good news, or just pretend you're at a Long Island mansion overlooking the bay. Mix one up and channel your inner flapper.
