More About This Recipe
On a recent trip to Paris, I had a drink at the undeniably chic Hotel L’Amourhidden off one of our favorite streets, Rue des Martyrs, in the 9th arrondissem*nt.
Back when I lived there, this area was like the Brooklyn of the city, and, like its New York counterpart, it has become more mainstream but still just as amazing.
The drink I had was a ginger beet rum co*cktail that inspired me to riff on it for Valentine’s Day and thus this Ginger Beet Martini co*cktail recipe was created, which gets a solid ouifrom us.
