A refreshing cocktail from the South of France
Marquisette: A refreshing cocktail from the South of France with a Bordeaux twist
Marquisette is a cocktail that smells of summer, sunshine, and the joy of shared moments. It originates from the South of France, where it is traditionally served at local dances, village festivals, and family celebrations. It is a drink that brings people together – light, fresh, and ideal for moments when you want to pause and enjoy the present.
We bring you Marquisette with a new twist inspired by the Bordeaux region. It combines citrus freshness, subtle white wine, and elegant Crémant de Bordeaux. The result is light, sparkling, and perfectly refreshing.
