-------------DRINK--------------------------

Some of the traditional drinks in France are:

--1. French Connection

The French Connection cocktail is prepared with one part cognac (French component)
and one part amaretto (Italian component).

The famous French brandy gives it its fragrance and

strength of 40 proof alcohol, while the Saronno liqueur made
from apricot kernels and almonds, gives sweetness and soft bitterness.

--2. Absenta.
It is a drink with an aniseed flavor called, "Green Fairy" or "Green Devil",
because
of its color that is obtained mainly by distillation of the wormwood herb.

--3.-Pastis
It has the sweetness of anise and licorice and due to its alcohol content of 45%,
it is drunk mixed with water.

The most usual proportion is between 5 and 7 parts of water to one part of pastis.
A drink served in a small glass is called mummy or mominette in France.
