The theme: "The Art of French Living"

This collaboration between Air France and Hotel Lancaster Paris began in July 2018. Under the theme "The Art of French Travel," the head female bartender has created special cocktails for Air France, served in the new business lounge in Hall L of Terminal 2E at Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Original drinks such as "Parisian Mood," the monthly "City of the Month," and the seasonal alcohol-free "Mocktail" add a touch of flair to your journey.

Air France has now launched its original cocktail service on all long-haul Business Class flights.

The cocktails are crafted by the head female bartender of Hotel Lancaster Paris, the same artisan behind the lounge's offerings.

A blend of cherry and lime aromas with Marie Brizard Rosemary Liqueur and white peach juice. This is enhanced with Saint James, a sweet, woody rum from the French Caribbean island of Martinique. Finally, it's elegantly finished with champagne, the signature of Air France, also served at Hotel Lancaster Paris.

These cocktails, created like haute couture collections, will see new creations unveiled twice a year, for spring/summer and autumn/winter.

All are made with the finest French ingredients and topped with champagne, embodying the theme of "The Art of French Travel."
