About
The exact history of the La Vie Parisienne cocktail remains a mystery, but it seems to have emerged in the early 20th century, at a time when cocktails were enjoying a veritable golden age in Parisian bars and cafés.
Its name may have been inspired by the famous illustrated magazine "La Vie Parisienne", founded in 1863, which was known for its bold and light-hearted spirit, reflecting the festive and social life of the Belle Époque.
