    Pray for Paris

    Cognac, Champagne, lemon & a sugar cube — a FLYGOD French 75

    For the album that hung rap beside fine art

    The Story

    Pray for Paris took a Buffalo rapper to the gallery walls of the world. This cocktail meets it there: a French 75 built on cognac instead of gin — Parisian, art-collector elegant, with a bittered sugar cube that dissolves like a brushstroke. It's the toast you raise when the work finally belongs in the museum.
